In the bright summer days, a group of teenagers swim lengths in the swimming pool. Their spirit is united for the upcoming swimming gala. Before they formed this team, someone had left the group and someone had even thought about giving up swimming. The ‘Angels’ faced many difficulties before becoming a proper team. The team founder, TAK, has two daughters. His elder daughter, HAN (CHAN MAN WOON, BO BO), frequently argues with her younger sister, WING (TONG LEILA), who has been separated from the family for many years. They are both in love with the team captain, LOK (SIU EDWIN). WING used to live with her mother. When she finds her father, she is disappointed with the new family. She fights with HAN constantly and joins the opposing team, the ‘Devils’, to annoy her.
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.
