The Keenan's are a well-respected family. Silently they have kept their secrets and watched the family fall apart over the recent years.

The Keenans are a well-respected family. Silently they have kept their secrets and watched the family fall apart over the recent years. Among others, they have watched their daughter Carrie's alcohol problems getting worse and worse, up to an extent where she is unable to live without it. In an attempt to try and take over the business, Carrie tries to blackmail Derek, her father, into signing over control of his business. Resenting her family, she threatens to publish damaging information about Derek involving corrupt cash payments if he does not give her what she wants. Wanting to protect his political career, and to get his daughter to see sense, Derek sets up an intervention with the entire family. But this gathering turns out to be different than expected. It falls apart from the very beginning as Carrie starts to unveil family secrets that no one has mentioned for decades. Her revelations have huge consequences not just for herself and her father but for the entire family. It is only when they accept their own failings as a whole, that they finally find back together again. The Edge of Chaos is not just a story about addiction, it is also a story about family, and how an addiction doesn't only affect the individual, but the people closest to them.

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.
