Very nicely done. One suggestion I'd make is to have friendlier URLs.
I wish people would make their websites workable without Javascript.

Is it too much to ask?

Do I really need to open my browser up to Javascript vulnerabilities just to use some website?

Do they really need Javascript to allow a user to select a genre or type in a search field?

The world will never make everyone happy. If you choose to actively disable a feature allowing websites move past 1995, then you shouldn't complain about living in 1995.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

The front page suffers from tiny-screen syndrome.

1371px is just slightly more than half my available screen space.

Changed .container, #index-cont, #movies_show .movie-cont to 85% width and no max-width and immediately felt better. Being adaptive/responsive goes both ways.

This is fantastic. Discovered a movie in about 40 seconds :) I watch a lot of movies so it occasionally gets a bit rough having to dig around for new stuff and movies I've missed. Went straight for the SciFi and found a Korean film "Snowpiercer" I had never heard of, then saw the list of related movies down below. Great stuff, if they add an "Anime" films category I'd be in heaven.
Try country "Japan" + genre "animation" :)
We need this. Ever since the Goog, world champion of search, has deliberately destroyed search on YouTube, we need a movie site where a search actually yields a movie and not just an unusable heap of waste.
I asked earlier about image copyrights (may be a broader question for all). Is it okay to link to some other site's images (even if there is no business conflict) ? For example, is it okay to include Spotify's album cover ?
I don't know how Movieo is getting their artwork images, but if they're provided by a third-party API (Spotify's API provides album and artist images), then why not?
I like the interface. HOwever I think the filters need a little work. For example I clicked on Action and I got these results: http://movieo.me/?grid=list_movie&file=movies%2F_movies&rate...

They contain Chicago, Diva, King Creole, etc.. not exactly what I would call action movies. All in all looks pretty cool !

Yes, it seems to fall more on the side of false positives than false negatives. While this is a safe bet, it is also less useful, since the main use case I can think for this is to help me pick up some movies from the plethora of available movies that exist in the world to maybe look for in Netflix etc. I mean, "Take This Waltz" (2012) is not what I'm after if I'm looking for films from Japan. Mildly annoying.
You clicked on both action and MUSIC. That better explains the results. Data is pulled from TMDB and can't be changed except if you polished data for each movie manually. And there are 300,000+ movies.
