New look Curzon Cinemas website.

A couple of years ago I blogged about the Curzon Cinemas website, which I criticised for its unnecessary use of Flash. Well, I’m not sure how long ago it happened, but Curzon got a redesign, and it looks great:

  • Classy, unfussy typography and black and white core styling
  • Nice colour-coding for the 5 different cinemas
  • Nice, logical 3-column layout: listings on the left, description and video in the middle, stuff to catch your eye in the far right
  • Cufón custom font replacement
  • Stacks of javascript for Flash-like fade effects, AJAX-loading and showing/hiding elements

I also love the fact that each new release has a trailer embedded in the page. Excellent stuff.
