User Stories

REQUIRED

• User can view a list of movies (title, poster image, and overview) currently playing in theaters from the Movie Database API.

BONUS

• Views should be responsive for both landscape/portrait mode.
  • In portrait mode, the poster image, title, and movie overview is shown.
  • In landscape mode, the rotated alternate layout should use the backdrop image instead and show the title and movie overview to the right of it.
