Flixter pulls the latest movies out in theaters and generates them as a list. Each item in the list has an image, title, and description. This app was the second assignment in Code Paths IOS bootcamp.
Additional features:
-[click on a movie item and it will segue into a different view controller]
-[you can go back to the original list by clicking the back button in the top left]

The biggest challange was trying to connecting the @IBOutlet collectionView. When I tried connecting it the first time there was no option for an @IBOutlet, instead it was some type Movie. I double checked all of the storyboard identifiers and made sure they were correct only to come up short... so i ended up starting over from the superhero blank view controller point.
