Tomorrow is her husband's 77th day. Ayako strips naked in front of her urn containing her husband, and she suddenly makes a decision to put on her mourning clothes. Ayako's late husband, Jiro, was jealous, sadistic, and insidiously bullied her. Even in the bedroom at night, Jiro becomes abnormally excited by being jealous of her friend Katsura and blaming Ayako for her unrealistic delusions. From Katsura, who came to pray on the 77th, she heard about her husband, which Ayako did not know. "He was the only person she could call her best friend..." Ayako recalled that day's affair with her husband. It was sex that could be called painful...

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
