Small design tweaks

To be honest I prefer the current rating stars but I do have some new designs which I haven't implemented in html yet.

Tom, can you make the stars bigger please?

Other than that I really like the way the stars are now... but I would like to see the stars on the item page just a bit bigger.

Well they have about 6 times as many ratings for The Shawshank Redemption as Listal so they're obviously doing something right. From looking at their home page it doesn't look like it compares with Listal in that it seems to be designed to rate stuff rather than list the stuff you own. However it clearly overlaps.

I like the way they have brands too e.g. Star Wars. Characters are a good feature (and one that has been suggested here too).

Anyway back to the page design since that's what the thread's about. I think my first impression is that I prefer the ulike design - however it's missing a lot of Listal's features. So what would I do to improve Listal's design? Move the description to the right of the movie poster. I'd make the blue tags/info box smaller and only show the top tags to save space (with a "show all" option). That'd mean that the "directed by" and "Staring" would be further up the page (I assume people are lazy like me and don't want to scroll down for things they can't yet see - if they can see a bit of it then they're more likely to be tempted). I'd also be tempted to go with a list of cast with smaller pictures (listal has characters so one up one them there). The links to Wikipedia on each pages are a cool feature too - looks like that's where they've got their descriptions from.

I'm working on a design that includes some of the changes that you mentioned, should be released soon.
