Getting movie data from TMDB API and displaying it with React

Contents

Description

I am a big movie fan and am just finding out how awesome API's are. To me they are a really nice way to get cool content/ data about lots of different subjects and give you the chance to play around with that data in your front-end.

The API provived by TMDB gives me the opportunity to upgrade my JavaScript / React / Css / SASS skills while keeping the movie-nerd in me happy!

Sounds like a win-win, right?
