    The green color theme with different shades and tones seem to blend well with the black color background. Nice work there done trying to blend adsense ads with the rest of the content.

    Have to say I'm impressed, saw it was on Blogspot and was expecting another lame site with standard template.

    However it looks good, not totally sure the colour scheme says films/cinema but the overall effect is a good one.

    A couple of thing I would improve though

    1) Get your own domain name, even if it redirects to Blogspot

    2) Shrink the size of the header image at nearly 300k its a monster image, I loaded it into my image editor and resaved it and it came out at 37k which is acceptable and looked the same

    3) Perhaps think about swapping the left and right columns over, one of the first things I did was look at the Entertainment News and found myself leaving your site, if you swapped the columns over most people would see your content before clicking something that took them somewhere else

    4) On your reviews I would look at swapping over the plot and review sections, for films I knew nothing about reading the review then plot made less sense than reading plot then review

    5) Check your spelling, I noticed a few spelling mistakes in the reviews and the plot sections of a couple of films

    Apart from that its a good effort and I hope you have success with it.

    Jen

    The design is nice but I think the header is a little too big, you should make
    it smaller and I think the site would look better if you added a few more colors
    into the color scheme.

    The design is nice . Sometimes I see "Post a comment" is getting same color as the background and becoming almost invisible.using ff3.
