Doesn't load main content for me in FF. Console says "SecurityError: The operation is insecure." line 2 in http://www.movieo.me/assets/after_load/application-f2fa75b0d....

This is beautiful, great work!

Small nit: top right corner says "Rate by IMDB" but I think you mean "Rating by IMDB".

Do you scrape the data or get it from a web service? What do you use for scraping in case of the former?

cool!

Not really a criticism but more of a question as I'm not a designer by any means:

Why do you only use a sliver of horizontal screen space in the middle?

I only mention this because it looks slightly unusual on my 27"

this is pretty but man is it bad at recommending similar movies in the documentary genre. it might as well be giving completely random results:

The thumbnails are coming from tmdb.org, so I guess he's using their API.

Login with Twitter doesn't work. After authorizing on Twitter.com, the "Please sign in" modal just stays there.

this is pretty and looks pretty nice to use. I filtered by "France", and the list actually got only 1 french movie out of 5-10.
