An ancient warrior is looking to correct the error that cost him to lose heaven. He is reincarnated in the body of a man who notices the strange supernatural powers he has and acts without thinking of the consequences causing a race between good and evil with nothing clear and anything possible to happen
Angelus, a fallen angel living in modern-day Mexico as a Goth teenager to avoid suspicion for his activities, accidentally lets his powers be known when he saves his friends from a gang-attack. Dr. Vera, a worker at a secret government agency, is convinced of his identity through his family history of battling the creature and leads an expedition to capture him. While he's captured, Dr. Vera comes to believe Angelus is trying to be a good soul and doesn't want his grudge against humanity to overwhelm him, so he enlists his human friends to help break him out of the facility in order to help treat him. Despite their best attempts, Angelus' anger gets the best of him and causes him to run rampant through the government facility, forcing them to come together to remind him of his need to be a good soul so he can return to Heaven again.

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.
