Undefeated MMA superstar Ben “Funky” Askren arrives in the Philippines in April! In a highly anticipated title defense that fans around the world have been waiting for, Askren will finally face the challenge issued by the intimidating one-man wrecking machine that is Luis “Sapo” Santos. Sapo has vowed to end the unbroken winning streak of Funky for years, but come April 24, he will finally get the chance to deliver on his promise. It is going to be a night to remember as ONE Championship, the largest MMA promotion in Asia, presents VALOR OF CHAMPIONS to the proud and passionate fight fans of the Philippines. As the world’s top pound for pound mixed martial artist, will Askren prove his mettle against the most powerful opponent he has ever faced? Or will Sapo use the battle-experiences of more than 70 professional fights to snatch the coveted title belt and end the feud decisively. Even MMA experts are left divided regarding this polarizing match-up.
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.
