JohnMorg,

Your overall design and layout look good but in my opinion the site provides a poor user experience. For example I clicked on the button that says “play now” but I don’t get to watch anything. Instead I am redirected to install a facebook application or a download manager. When things like this happen, visitors lose trust in the site and don’t return. If you can find a way to actually make a movie play when someone clicks the play now button, I think you would have something here.

Yes, I know this happens because of some ads...unfortunately we cannot remove them.
Btw FAQ section has a manual which says that for watching user have to click "WATCH NOW".

I think you might be facing legal problems, never mind the design.

If I'm right, you are hosting 3500 copyrighted films on a Russian social network, using a fake name and streaming them via links on your website? This isn't a good idea at all.

Plus your logo is nasty and reminded me of McDonalds.

I like the layout and color scheme. Easy to navigate. The movie started for me just fine.

Watch your a**, though. Hollywood and the government are getting VERY serious about 'pirate' sites, even if they don't actually host the offending material.

SEO-wise, Google has already vowed to de-index any such sites. Although I haven't seen this come to pass yet, you can bet it will.

BTW, you might want to include a FAQ explaining to your visitors the importance of using Flashblock, AdBlock and anti-virus/anti-malware software before clicking on any of those links.

[EDIT: That's odd?! I just clicked again to go look at something else, and now your site isn't loading. 500 - Internal Server Error. Did they get you already?! ]

I like the clean layout and design, although the buttons "download and "play" look unattractive, clearly cut out of something else.
