Rotten Tomatoes

This is a movies app displaying box office and top rental DVDs using the Rotten Tomatoes API.

Time spent: 9 Hours

[x] User can view a list of movies. Poster images load asynchronously.
[x] User can view movie details by tapping on a cell.
[x] User sees loading state while waiting for the API.
[x] User sees error message when there is a network error: http://cl.ly/image/1l1L3M460c3C
[x] User can pull to refresh the movie list.

[x] All images fade in.
[ ] For the larger poster, load the low-res first and switch to high-res when complete.
[ ] All images should be cached in memory and disk: AppDelegate has an instance of NSURLCache and NSURLRequest makes a request with NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad cache policy. I tested it by turning off wifi and restarting the app.
[ ] Customize the highlight and selection effect of the cell.
[x] Customize the navigation bar.
[x] Add a tab bar for Box Office and DVD.
[x] Add a search bar: pretty simple implementation of searching against the existing table view data.
