Running Tests
You'll need rspec and fakeweb installed to run the specs.
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake spec
Although not recommended, you may run the specs against the live imdb.com website. This will make a lot of calls to imdb.com, use it wisely.
$ LIVE_TEST=true bundle exec rake spec
To update the packaged fixtures files with actual imdb.com samples, use the
fixtures:refresh rake task
$ bundle exec rake fixtures:refresh
