Apart from the fact that she looks different from the rest of her family, Kay is a normal happy 20 year old, who enjoys fighting with her sister Suzy, a computer whiz and her brother Mike, a star Dodgeball player. Ever since their father Robert disappeared several years ago, their mother Sally had taken over the household. One day, Mike discovers the secret behind Robert's disappearance and embarks a pursuit for the truth. Kay soon learns the truth that this all has to do with her past links to the Lee clan (an underground clan behind the deadly game of CRUSHBALL). Her endurance is tested to the limit in her first game. She's up against the Death God, Jin, the most powerful and destructive player in the game. Who is Kay really? And will she prove to be a CRUSHBALL player worthy of the Lee clan and save her adopted family? This action mystery depicts the unconditional love of a family and a story of fate that crossed the path of two families

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.
