Some time ago, Shunsaku Ban witnessed his friend’s murder during a random robbery attempt, and decided to become a guardian for the man’s infant son, Yuno. The child instantly bonded with a mysterious green cat that was carried by the gang, but Shunsaku was convinced that there’s something nefarious about the feline. Now, in the present, his long lost child surfaces in the news as a rich and powerful man who’s having the best luck at the casinos - and somehow, the green cat is still alive and at his side. Determined to save Yuno from the clutches of this evil creature, Shunsaku begins to investigate the truth of what’s really going on...

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.
