Newspaper reporter Kenzo let a strange woman Emi took taxi while on the way home from a business trip. Later, when he stopped by his girlfriend Nobuko's house to give her souvenir, he noticed that the suitcase had been replaced by Emi's. A knife with blood wiped out came out of Emi's trunk. Nobuko's older brother Kyosuke is a university professor, but he is also a famous detective. The next day, Kyosuke made Kenzo follow Emi's elder sister, Yuri, who came to exchange the trunk. Emi and Yuri are daughters of the landowner Kayama family, but they were both children of their ex-wife. His second wife, Shizue, has Miyako, another kid. Emi had a bad time with Shizue and left home, and she had just returned for the first time in three years...
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.
