Mark Krenik was born to parents Bob and Rose and is the second oldest of 5 boys and one girl. A country boy, he grew up with a chainsaw in one hand and a gun in the other. Being the crazy "Shark", Northern California just seemed to small for him. At the young age of 19, Mark decided to join the United States Navy where there would be adventure around every corner. He served proudly for 6 yrs. During his service, he visited 35 Countries and was exceeding the training to become Americas finest war machine, a Navy Seal. In the Active Reserves and working three other jobs, Thyssen Steel, Model for Body Glove, Head Bouncer at El Paso Cantina, and earning extra money by Dancing against the Chippendales, Mark breathed his last one night at the age of twenty-five. Cardiac arrest. In the Veterans Hospital on his deathbed, Mark called out to GOD for a second chance. Doctors in bewilderment stepped back as Mark got up from his deathbed. Military and civilian tests concluded he was as strong as a Horse. Mark felt a higher calling and left the Military as a Decorated Veteran. He quit every job sold his house and moved to East LA. He appreciated that God had given him a second chance at life. He lived in a basement at a Church. On the streets, he made friends with the gangs and they trusted him. gang violence had dropped considerably in the local neighborhoods and some of the gang members were going to Church. His life started as an ACTOR when he was asked to do several plays for the local Churches. He is passionate about acting and directors have asked him to come back several times for other projects as well. He is a team player who comes to set giving 200%. He treats every project like it is a blockbuster.

The Search Form


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.
