I think it is designed in a simple format without clogging up the website or making it too busy. It has an interesting concept and it will attract movie buffs. It would be nice if you had a home link on every page and on the home page a about us link and faq. It just always save me time in getting complete information about the site.
2. The registration process was simple, and I like that I could share film and location during that time and the box was an added touch asking what else would I like to see on this page, also liked that a home page link was there. Using Facebook is always good because you can get alot of contacts or websites hit that way.
3. Any sites that show movies, including the free movies would have a good audience for your website like hulu, fancast, locatetv.com tvguide websites like zap2it, etc
4. It is at least comparable in the services you offer and even better you offer a huge amount of movies, alot more than movielocationguide, in this case more is better. If you can add tv shows, at least the most popular ones that would be a plus.

1. I think it is an interesting site for people that are really into to movie thing. I think it needs to have an “About” page for people that are not too familiar with sites like this one. Perhaps subpages with different categories. I noticed that the search engine on the site says movies and TV series, most definitely need subpages for the site. Also, perhaps colors that are catchy should be on the page.
2.I think the sign-up process was very simple to do. It doesn’t take too much time from the user.
3. Facebook connect would be a good idea to get the site around.
4. Sites that would be interested in this type of website would movie forums or TV series forums. Also, fan sites.
5. I would give this site a fair rating.
