Legend has it that during the Ming Dynasty, a guard in Jinyi was ordered to arrest corrupt officials. He was seriously injured and was saved by a passing little cook. In order to repay his kindness, Jin Yiwei, chose to stay and take root in the country. When the descendants of the little chef were practicing their knife skills by killing chickens and geese, they accidentally discovered that the chicken, duck and fish sliced using this method were very tender and had a good taste. It became chef Zhong Zheng's unique secret recipe for making excellent delicious food. After seeing Zhong Zheng's superb cooking skills, the genius god of food Zhong Yupeng, persuaded Zhong Zheng to use his embroidered spring knife as a gimmick to attract tourists from the Internet. Although the effect was remarkable, it also attracted some ill-intentioned people who coveted the embroidered spring knife.
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.
