When an angel informs an inner-city homeless man that New York City will be decimated in three days time, the down-on-his-luck outcast sets out on a mission to save his city in this religious-themed thriller from director Albert Johnson. Entrusted with an ancient scroll and sent on a quest to rendezvous with the father of lies, the weary messenger soon befriends a lost child who has wandered far from home. Despite his innocent appearance, this child holds a dark secret. As the unlikely messenger and his mysterious traveling companion set out to venture into a land of infinite darkness, the fate of millions hangs in the balance of a sinister prophecy which may spell doom for all of mankind.

A NYC homeless man, Alex is visited by an angel and given a decree to deliver to the "fallen one", Matchet. While in search of the entity, he comes across a young boy who has been seperated from his parents. Suddenly Matchet appears, forcing him to run for the safety of the child. This sets him on an adventure through the underworld; a realm of darkness that exist all around us, but we are unable to see. Once your eyes are truly opened, things will never be the same.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
