Bizarre "husband killing" happened into the wedding day. Four people running out from wedding room and shouting "not me", and then raised a knife to commit suicide. The process of the crime was watched by the guests, but they coincidentally pointed the finger at a weak girl, pointing out that she is the culprit behind the scene. Even the young girl herself confesses to the crime, revealing that she is a "bad luck star" who can't control those close to her. The death of an innocent watcher in the woods, the brutal death of a key figure in prison, and a mysterious village littered with corpses, all seem to be inextricably linked to the tragedy of death.

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.
