I couldn’t decide on what colours to use so I just picked a couple really quick.
I got bored half way through doing the menu so it’s not finished. The links shouldn’t have an underline and the text should all be white with a light blue background. It should have horizontal lines between each category.
I also didn’t bother adding the newsletter widget to the bottom right of the page.
Thanks for that Kevin. I will attempt to do some of those changes, particularly the 3×3 style, if I can figure it out.
I may still keep the sidebar columns both on the right as that has worked well for me on past sites.

These are my suggestions, you can take them or leave them.
If you like my suggestions I can do up a dummy image for you to reference to code it up.
Change favicon to tv
Remove Archives
Just show 9 movies on the home page in a grid (3×3) just showing the thumbnail with the title in small font underneath as a link to the page
It’s kind of pointless clicking on the articles at the moment because your saying everything on the homepage.
Change Categories to the left (people read from the left and along the top)
Remove the number of posts in each category
The years needs a main category called ‘Years’ and Uncategoried should be removed
Remove the ‘Categories’ Widget titlename
Don’t indent the subcategories and instead make the main category have a coloured backround like grey to match your nav bar
I have a widescreen monitor and the page stretches across the page. It should be restricted to maybe 960 px wide
There is too much white space! Use a border on the sides to show the limits of the page
The header needs to be coloured to break it up from the rest of the page
Add a home tab to your nav bar and make the bar left aligned
Add a Newsletter subscription to the right under the ‘Most fun this month’ widget
It’s late and I really only have time to look at your homepage but if you don’t ignore my comments and if I get time I will review your article pages as well
I will look at doing most of those suggestions. The 3×3 grid is a good idea. I will try it out and see how it works. I want it to be instantly useable and readable so I had thought the content showing would be best.
Showing the number of movies was a way for me to track what I had covered. I have enough there now that I should remove that count.
The site is presently 1040 wide. I thought most people’s screens were larger than that.
I do like lots of white space, but I will see how a broder will look.
I can easily left aligh the menu, but I was going to make it next to the logo, so I had it right aligned in preparation for that. We’ll see how much time I get to fiddle with that.
Hi,
Being a Korean kitchen site, there are sooo many great Korean movies that most “foreigners” would not ever think to watch, it might be a great addition (a new section). It doesn’t look like you are that active on here anymore, though. Being from the States and now addicted to great Korean love stories, I just wanted to mention it. Those that can handle subtitles, are in for a wonderful surprise. M
It’s not finished but I did a quick photoshop of my ideas here

Image slider on homepage looks really cool

Thanks again for your input. I appreciate it.
You need to start working on your site again. Otherwise how are you going to compete with IMDb?

on youtube they have a star rating and text comes up on mouseover to say what each star represents. ie good, bad, terrible
This is a cool site. Needs a wider selection of movies though. Perhaps a little more in the synopsis field too.
