I agree that it still is too dark. What I would like to see is the content area on a white background with the filmstrip logo area stretching all the way across. Add in another brighter colour too - orange might work.

I still think that the opening paragraph needs work. Definitely take out that price reference - I don't know about you but where I come from movie prices vary a lot depending on where and when you go. The big new stadium-style theatres are up to about $12 or $13 now, but Tuesday is chap night so it's only about $8 or so, same with matinees. The older theatres are around $6 and there's also a few cheap theatres with $2 admission for movies that have already been through the other threatres. The writing style is still very stilted and ackward in that paragraph.

Watch your fonts on the front page as well. The opening paragraph is black arial (?) on a dark background which makes it hard to read. Then the rest of it is white Times which is easier to read but doesn't look too good. I clicked on the "Time Machine" review and the text here is black serif. Make it all white sans-serif if you're going to keep that dark background. The writing style is okay in this review BTW.

The links along the bottom aren't working for me at all. I guess you must be putting those in a pop-up? I keep pop-ups disabled most of the time. Just keep those in a regular window.

Don't like the pop up windows, just have them as new pages within the site set up. I'm still fining it too dark and think that the logo seems to appear just plonked where it is and ovcerall I think the sites needs some colour.

the mouseover links at the bottom go black on mouseover in IE, change your a:hover tag to light grey or something so it will show thru. doesnt work in NS4.7 so is readable.

the link in your archive are all different colors, some are blue, some are white, some are default, also a couple of broken images (f page has one) and cant read the black text at bottom (copyright)

has javascript errors in NS4.7, lines 100, 112, 73, 77, 54, 19, 35, 37, 54 document.nowplaying has no properties., MM_preloadImages is not defined. and a end comment tag ( --> ) seem to be the cause

ARG!!! I clicked the "Join The Staff" link at the bottom and was unable to close it. Maybe I'm dumb but I had to do CTRL ALT DELETE to close that window. That isn't nice.

ok....on with the rest.
The site really doesn't look any different than it did before beside the links at the bottom that you have added, a framed page and all the pop up windows that you have added through out the site. Speaking of pop up windows and frames. I think your site would be better without those. Especially the pop up windows.

I still like the background color that you are using but the text colors and link colors do not go well with that blue. *that has been brought up before so I suppose you are set on using the black and red* Also you are using Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif for the paragraph on the home page. I don't what kinda jazz that is you have in your code for your links at the bottom but they are defaulting to times new roman.

There are no navigation links on the archive page.

nice link Megan, and your right about the reading, I hated it when i was a kid, and still dont really enjoy reading but i am living proof that not reading books creates a bad speller and grammerer (see that didnt even make sense - dont become like me, read books everyone

**nice link, but wheres all the pictures :D**

I'm getting that too right now...

The easiest way to check your spelling is to type up your text into a word processor before putting it into your HTML page. Run a spelling and grammar check in there - it won't catch everything but at least will get rid of the obvious problems. Also be sure to read it over carefuly, and have someone else take a look at it before you post just to be sure. Here are some common errors in english that you should be aware of.

I also think that the best thing you can do to improve your writing style is to read. Read a lot - particularly articles relating to your chosen type of writing (ie. you're trying to write movie reviews, so go around and read as many movie reviews as you can to get an idea of the writing style commonly used in that genre. If you were writing news articles, you'd read news, and so on.)

You can use either of these two to do a free spell check. The second one will also point out any HTML mistakes.
