OK first off, I'm going to give you definite props, before anything else, because anyone who takes the time to create something on their own, be it good or bad, gets two thumbs up already. SEcond, you get bonus points for doing it FOR OTHER PEOPLE, so congrats on that. Third, I can definately see that this looks great, but as others have mentioned, It's a little busy, as if you tried to fit every possible setting on the screen you could, and the glassy button effect on everything kinda bugs me. Having said those two negitives, the mod looks good, just needs a little work. Congrats!

looks damn good, but for me it is a bit overloaded

I appreciate the effort, but dang that's a lot of clutter. The genre slider duplicates information presented at the bottom above the film title and includes useless information (inapplicable genres). The media flags at the bottom overlap the reflection of the posters. The "glare" mask is too obtrusive and it looks like it's not being scaled properly because the gradient is very jagged. The frames around the extrathumbs and such don't seem to overlap very well either the neighboring objects. I'm not feeling the speedometer-style gauge.
Overall, it just feels very "packed in" if that makes any sense.

I'll have to say the 'art' view with the filmstrips that have screenshots on them looks pretty cool.

Yes the new art view looks good but i think it would be better if the film thumb in focus was in the middle of the screen as opposed to the right? in my oppinion otherwise it now looks great
