Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 67
Kelvin (Ben Waters) wakes up to a call from Shelly (Amanda Driscol) to tell him that her boyfriend, Marcus (Jean Pirae) is on his way to brazen out Kelvin because he has found out about them being together the night before. Kelvin makes a run for it only to find himself fenced by Marcus' web of deception. Fuelled with anger, Marcus and his sidekick, Keith (Huggy Lever) subject Kelvin to a no-mercy treatment. Will the dice reveal Kelvin's destiny or do the tarot cards hold the key to his fate? What if everyday you were given the chance to make the same decision? What if everyone you ever trusted seemed distrustful? Deceptively layered and intriguingly misleading, Somnolence is a gripping tale of a man who finds himself confronted with the inevitable and eternal truth: salvation.

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.
