As I mentioned to Tim, I went down the wrong road from the beginning by subclassing UITableViewController instead of UITableView, which made it harder to add things like the network error notification and the search bar. (I'd be curious to know if there's an easy way to dig myself out of that hole...)

However, I customized a TSMessage to look more like the network error mock (Android), so I managed to get something in place for that. Also added a font thanks to some help from Jessica on the FB group and a Tab Bar Controller (surprisingly easy). I also added some code to test handling a malformed server response.

Other things I'd like to do (someday) include infinite scroll (fetch the next page of results when near the bottom of the current list), placeholder images, and gestural navigation (swipe to move from detail back to list view).

Also, I'm currently using AFNetworking's setImageWithURLRequest after each dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier, which seems wasteful; an optimization would be to load the UIImage and store it in the MovieModel and only populate the UIImageView of the cell after dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier.

Finally, I'm not sure why the detail view doesn't animate completely off the screen before it pops off the stack -- it only scrolls most of the way off and then leaves an ugly transition just at the end.

Guess that's about it. Total time somewhere around 12 hours.

By the way, the example issue-as-homework-submission you link to from the Canvas page is broken.
