Hi ppl I would love to know what every1 thinks of my movie trailer blog. www.movietrailersite.com Thanks
It looks good but there is too much black it would be better if you added a few more colors into the color scheme.
It is just too empty. It would be better if you also provide a review about the movie rather than just having a link to youtube to show the trailer.
hmm yes if you click the name of the movie there is a reveiw page with a breif discription of what the film is about also release dates and space to comment or leave your own review. I guess it's not very obvious, how could I improve this?
On the review section the text is a little small even for my 24" monitor and black background white text is hard on the eyes. On a positive note it is very clean and you resisted the temptation to shove it full of ads.
Have to say I'm quite surprised to find this is actually Wordpress. Really nice theme, although I would change the logo graphic from the default theme one though. Its a real pity it used You Tube for the trailers as they aren't very good quality (I do video streaming for a living and cringe every time I see YouTube "quality" video), however the presentation of the videos is great, first time I've seen a lightbox use for video properly. I would have to echo the negatives already posted though, the lack of review (or rather finding the review is difficult), and the reviews dont look very good, they need more spacing between paragraphs (Something I've found a lot on Wordpress sites), and a the font needs to be a little larger. Didnt easily see the link for Page 2 of the trailers, perhaps the arrow needs to be larger or a easier to see colour, and you need a default "Cover coming soon" type image for those covers you dont already have (As with most of those on Page 2). Over all though I like it, although personally I would have gone for one of the other themes in the same range, they seem to have less of the drawbacks this theme has. Jen
Thanks for long review really helps. Im trying to add a logo to incorporate into the site. What dtreaming would you suggest would be better?
Great domain name you have got mate. Website also looks decent. will suggest you to go with a better Logo.
Your not completely tied to YouTube, the theme does allow content from quite a few video networks, YouTube just seems to be the easiest to find content on. Since the content isn't yours it depends which networks have had it uploaded and of course who uploaded it, if its the movie company I doubt it will get taken down, if its someone else the trailers could get taken down via a DMCA. Quality wise, YouTube often has higher quality versions available IE This one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLPp8y-mEhw Has a higher res version, which looks MUCH better, but personally I think the Revver one looks better still, although it does have ads in. http://www.revver.com/video/1055103/watch-the-new-trailer-for-quantum-of-solace/ Its just a case of looking around the video streaming sites for the best quality one.

It would be great to have an easy way for people to submit trailers for you to check out. I edit movie trailers for a living and the clients I work for are always looking for new sites to promote their trailers.
There is a contact us page with a email that someone can use to reach us if they are intrested at promoting there trailers. Thanks
That will work, but if you are interested in encouraging people to submit trailers, I would say so somewhere on your site
In the second page I can not see the cover page images , is it a problem with my computer or the site?
try to do something with the right sidebar . apart from that , it looks nice . keep adding more content . good luck with the site .
I have fixed this now, thanks for pointing it out! Also i have added more content. Yea the quailty is a little funky i have to clean it up a bit. Its because i had to change the images format and it seems to have caused the quality to go down. Any more suggetions ppl? This thread is really helping me fine tune my site thanks to everyone!
