This looks like a great way to find movies. I was a bit confused at first about what the different colors (blue, red, grey) meant. After looking at the markup I came to the conclusion that blue meant positive and red meant negative. A bit later I found the explanation hidden behind the "Click to Learn More". There's no visual indication that this is a link, so I found it easy to miss. Perhaps it would be good to move the explanations somewhere not hidden behind a click, or make the place to click more obvious.

I'd also recommend choosing different colors. When scanning the list, I want the hottest movies to jump out, while the less-good movies fade into oblivion. As it stands now, red is the dominating color, and my eyes are naturally drawn to the worst movies. If you want to stick with the blue, I'd recommend the same dark blue for "hot" movies, a lighter blue for mediocre movies, and the gray for the worst movies.

Nice idea, though; seems to work impressively well.

Thanks this is great feedback.
