    the whole thing looks amazing. keep the pink.

    i disagree with the 'old film lines' thing. i think that's clichéd and never looks right anyway.

    i agree that you need to lighten up the dirt over the portfolio text.

    agree about the serif font, and think you should also nudge the text down so that it's aligned to the to the w rather than the decoration.

    i think you should rewrite that welcome text. it reminded me more of a pageant judge than a carnival barker. you also have this weird mix of first and third person going on through the site.

    a couple of dev points rather than design:

    downloading your resume takes you out of the whole site. new window?

    to cut down on load time you could have the portfolio load each item separately rather than waiting till the whole lot's in to display the first? maybe you could even use some backend so that you could just drop your movies into a directory and have the thing set it all out automatically - that would make it less of a hassle to update too, though you'd have to leave some space for extra stars i guess. (what is it they say about designers being bad at development? - just kidding)
