Unveil the legend of the "Powerful Cane" that broke into two pieces: "Whoever possesses both pieces of the cane shall have power over all." Phanthep, the holder of the "Blood Cane," suspects that Mek, a lame man, is the owner of the "Spirit Cane," who helps people under the alias "Luk Phuchai". Thus, Phanthep relentlessly pursues Mek to seize the other piece of the cane for himself. Mai, Mek's son, witnesses his father being bullied and strives to stand up and fight to protect those he loves. When one seeks to seize and the other strives to protect, the boy molded by goodness... is about to choose his path to prove himself!
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.
