I get vertical scrollbars for the search box. This can be reproduced
by zooming in/out.
I think the "Powered by Cloud mining" box should be removed.
Remove "Select / remove query terms:" - it's obvious what to do with
the big X button. Make the red "Brad Pitt [X]" thinner - reduce the
whitespace.
Remove (Time to generate facets: 0.0 sec.).
Remove "Torrent search". People who want to get it illegally can
search by themselves, and you do not want to be prompting illegal
behaviour.
Make the search box less thick. You need to do this because the site
is so visually heavy, but work on cleaning up the rest of the site
instead.
I like the "Refine by GENRE" etc boxes, but it's extremely visually
noisy. Different size fonts, no layout, different colors, etc. I'm
not sure what to suggest - maybe making them expandable boxes that
collapsed by default.
Work on reducing the information shown for each movie. The key is to
reduce visual noise as much as possible. I like how you have a [+]
box to hide some information. Can you do this more though?
