In the ancient times the Devil's Cult, led by the traitor Ling Guangzi, attacked the Xiuxianmen Clan. Unprepared Xiuxianmen and the Demon Cult started a desperate fight for Sword of God that sealed in the mountains. Three hundred years later, Qing Qiu, the head of the Shangqing Sect, passes the sword and the leadership to Wu Nian, who leads the Xuxian Sect on a long search for the sword, encountering various obstacles on the way from the remnants of the Demon Sect. A series of intricate plots, schemes and killings are staged between the two sects. Many years later, Wu Nian leads the Immortal Sect to Yunhai Peak, where another fierce battle is fought with the Demon Sect, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries to the Immortal Sect and the bodies of the Demon Sect's disciples.
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.
