I'm certainly not an expert at SEO, I'm just someone with a passing interest. I'm not sure what you're trying to rank for, but I imagine that ranking for movie title and actor searches would probably be easier than ranking for specific search terms alone, but here's what I can see.

Your main page is quite big uncompressed, it took a while to load first time. You should consider caching your pages.

You have about 30 backlinks. I haven't looked at the pagerank for all of these but i imagine that you're probably going to have to get more.

Your title tag tells us what the site is, but put some keywords into it. Use Google's keyword checker to determine what you want to rank for (you want the right trade off of high search volumes and low competition).

Your keywords tag misspells blu ray. I don't know whether or not this is intentional. Having keywords like 'recommendations' isn't a good move, there's no way you're going to rank highly for recommendations in general, especially given your site content. I'd reconsider using that for things that you want to rank for.

Once you have your keywords you need to optimise the density across pages on your site. You're looking for between 2-5% keyword density per page. That doesn't mean you need every keyword 2-5% times on every page, just that you need to have a 2-5% keyword density across your site for one or more keywords per page.

You're not using the H1 or H2 tags effectively. Search Engines read the H1 tag to find out what your site is about.

Put alt tags containing your keywords into your image html. Each alt tag is like a free keyword advert.

Your blog is great for communicating news, but what about talking about movies? If you're looking to engage movie goers, perhaps you should do some features on popular films on your blog, then link to the pages on your site. You can then post (in a non-spam manner) to reddit's /r/movies, /r/classicmovies and to places like IMDB.

Speaking of yuor individual film pages, put 'the movie tracker' after the film title in your title tag. When you don't have movies, consider using other content sources such as rotten tomatoes, imdb or even wikipedia. If you can embed some more info on the more sparse pages it'll look less empty.

You should also consider restructuring your URLs. For example, your film URLs should have the name of the film in them. If you do this make sure to issue HTTP 301 permanent redirects to the new locations.

Consider adding Actor, Director and Producer pages so people can see what other work key people have done. One of the biggest bugbears I have with IMDB is pairings - finding out which actors have played in which films together is impossible.

I think you definitely need to get out there more. I'm big on films and hadn't heard of your site. Try engaging other film communities - there's over 53,000 subscribers to the movies subreddit - don't just post your site, give them a reason to go and keep going back.

Have you considered advertising on facebook or reddit? What about stumbleupon? Try with a small amount of cash, see what the results are like and test, test and test.
