apple-ish = referring to the navigation up at the top (columned, left to right).

didn't check the code; but it's blockbuster - not suprising that it's a mess.

The top select (apple-ish) works horrible, reloads the entire site. Thats not nice on a 872 kb total-size site, the only thing i wanted to view was there movie categories, instead i had to load a bunch of images and there bongous code.

That is just horrible. I'd call it a downgrade, not an upgrade of their site. Amazing...I wonder how much this cost them.

That is definitely NOT apple-ish.

Wow,

Could use some AJAX to cut out the load time on the top navigation.

I would not say apple-ish, but I would say Netflix-ish. A lot of similar elements to Netflix.
