One stormy night,ADD(the Agency for Defense Development)is robbed of Korea's top secret files. The MND(Ministry of National Defense)tries to investigate the case, but it appears to be unsolvable. In search of a CD-ROM containing the secret files,authorities direct their focus toward insiders, including Scorpion A-Team, an anti-terrorist squad. KANG Min-sik, second-in-command in the A-Team, is a natural born leader. Although a hard-edged man, he has a soft side for his blind sister Ji-young who lost her sight at infancy. The incident at ADD results in a state of national emergency. Meanwhile, the families of Scorpion A-Team members including Ji-young and Min-sik's mother are murdered by mysterious characters. Ultimately, the full account of the conspiracy is revealed, but one step too late. The A-Team prepares for their ultimate battle during a concert held at the ASEM hall....
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.
