The legendary Roppongi cabaret club “Red Dragon” revives for the third time! Led by the unyielding number-one cast member, Karen, who was headhunted from Kabukicho, the club’s hostesses are once again making men dream tonight. Supporting them is the new cabaret hostess, Mikase, who has long dreamed of one day toppling Karen from her throne as cabaret queen and rising to the top herself. A year ago, Mikase—a college student struggling with job hunting—was scouted into the nightlife by the president, Kurosaki, during an interview. A fortune teller roaming the night streets foretold her destiny, saying, “You can only shine in the night world.” Before she knew it, Mikase found herself at “Red Dragon,” the club Kurosaki introduced her to. For a year she has been striving to become the absolute cabaret queen like Karen. In Mikase’s eyes, men have become nothing more than stacks of cash… that is, until that man appears―.
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.
