Taiwanese successful actuary Chung Wen Kai lives a life free of any unnecessary risks, or calculated ones if any. Wen Kai plans to pay Sandra, his rich girlfriend who has been away in Singapore for a business trip, a surprise visit on Valentine’s Day. Wen Kai also plans to propose to Sandra. What Wen Kai did not plan for was to have lost the diamond ring at the airport. Wen Kai also did not plan to meet Haney Goh, whom Wen Kai will “partner” reluctantly in order to buy a new diamond ring for Sandra at couple-only 50% Valentine’s Day special discount at a jewellery shop in Singapore. While stepping out of the jewellery shop, the “couple” are robbed and Wen Kai loses all his valuables including a phone which Haney took to throw at the robbers. Feeling sorry for Wen Kai, Haney decides to help Wen Kai in completing his goal to propose to Sandra.
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.
