Her investigations take her to a psychiatric hospital where Otis has been hospitalized for the past ten years. Once there, the people in charge of the center warn him that his friend has developed a mysterious alternative personality, which however they have managed to block thanks to drugs.

After both suffering a violent episode, Otis' alternative personality, Soul Man, takes control of the situation and proposes to Iris that they both become urban vigilantes to change things that do not work well in our society: crime, abuse, corruption , sale of drugs ... one by one, criminals will meet our protagonists. However, they both go too far and encounter very powerful criminals who are well connected with strange entities that control our world. Iris and Otis understand that there is no going back and that they will have to flee far if they want to protect their lives. Before succeeding, they must come face to face with "The Voice", an evil entity that makes them a proposal to work with both of them, but Otis and Iris refuse and then a persecution will begin that will force Otis to discover who he really is. . The final climax will leave Otis, our protagonist, alone against all these criminals in a final battle that will clear all the questions that he had asked himself during all his years of confinement.

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.
