Features

Required

• [Done] User can view a list of movies. Poster images load asynchronously.
• [Done] User can view movie details by tapping on a cell.
• [Done] User sees loading state while waiting for the API.

Optional

• [ ] 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.
• [ ] Customize the navigation bar.
• [ ] Add a tab bar for Box Office and DVD.
• [ ] Add a search bar: pretty simple implementation of searching against the existing table view data.
