    Great start, lose the guy throwing up

    I like the general direction you are taking this design. Here are a few ideas:

    1. Lose the guy upchucking the actors. Keep the top area very simple and clean.
    2. Move the search box to the right of the design and display it like a normal search box, no need for the film strip look.
    3. Add a subtle thick stroke to the images.
    4. Darken the text and increase the line height.
    5. Under categories, make the arrows much smaller.
    6. Increase the padding on your "read more" buttons and decrease the text size.

    Like I said before, this is really going somewhere. Just error on the side of simple and not cheesy. Looks good so far, great work!
