Highlightes

1. Use properities file to make configuration process easier, no touch to source file required to add movie and change infomation.
2. Movie, Genre & Recommendation stored in .JSON files, thus making it simple to be read and modified.
3. Fully multi-language supporting with Resource Bundle with fallback.
4. Movie Info Scraper included, automatically scrape information from IMDB
5. Filter function implemented with Java 8's Lambda Expression and Predicate, allowing multi-condition filtering to find movie faster
6. Tried to use Material Design in GUI, using JFoenix Link, with CSS to add more artistic effect.
