Ulises Larramendi

Biography from TheMovieDB

I was born in Cuba in 1963. My family migrated to Spain in ‘74 and eventually to the United States in '77, where we settled in Houston, and have considered Texas our home ever since. God introduced me to my wife, Maria, 27 years ago, and blessed us with three boys who are now in college, and a daughter thru adoption.  I developed an interest in acting at the University of Houston early in my college career. The next few years brought many roles my way, and I realize then how much I enjoyed performing on stage. I have made a living in the restaurant business, doing every job from dishwasher while in High School, to Director of Operations for a national steakhouse, and in 2006 my wife and I opened our own concept, although I never stopped looking for opportunities to be in front of an audience. My recent project, a film called We Are Stronger (www.strongermovie.com), has brought me to this point in my life, where I believe I am called to use my gifts to honor and glorify God. I have always had a heart for mission work, and have traveled abroad a few times to serve...but I can't imagine a more powerful way to impact people's lives, in near and far away places, with His message of grace and hope, than with my performances on stage or screen. I suppose you can sum it up like this...God is not finished with me yet...

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.
