Ocean City, a sleepless financial metropolis where many speculators dream of gaining fame and fortune overnight but end up empty-handed. Among them is Ma Liang, an Olympic boxing champion who loses every penny in his pocket in a gambling scam. Meanwhile, Ye Lin, a good father who would do anything to save his terminally ill daughter, encounters a secret agent who gives him a mission to reverse his daughter's destiny. Indulging in the never-ending games of power and money, humans are totally unaware of a looming nuclear war crisis that would lead to the annihilation of mankind! The mysterious heroic legend Jack commands his top disciple Johnny Malone with extraordinary measures to stop the intertwined financial rivalry, underworld feud and terrorist attack, in a hope to turn war into peace. Can Jack save the world from apocalypse with his bare hands?
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.
