Adding User Stories

I’ve touch on every user story for Pat.

Story 1: On page load there is the list of upcoming movies. These
movies are automatically refreshed every 15 minutes without a hard page
reload. I did not get to the lazy load part. I was looking into
javascript/jquery plugins such as
http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload.

Story 2: Each movie can be marked as a favorite. These favorited movies
are stored to a cookie and you can store multiple movies at one time.
If a movie is marked as favorited it will appear as checked on the page
reload or if movie is listed in new search query. You can also remove
movies from your favorited list but deselecting the favorited check
mark.

Story 3: There’s a read more link for each movie that lets Pat see
critic score, moving rating, complete listing (will open rotten
tomatoes link in new window), and the movie synopsis.

Story 4: You can search my both critic rating (high to low or low to
high) and a specific date range. The API only shows movies for the next
30 days so you can only search for 30 days. These filters happen
through ajax and the settings are stored in a cookie. Upon user return
the previous settings will be applied.

Please note: I focused more on function than style. Everything works
but if I had more time I would have focused more on style and user
experience.
