Notes:

1. Spent some time on trying to use poster images as a background for table view row and show movie info on poster. But as posters also have text, movie info was not very readable. Hence switched to normal poster.
2. Tried implementing tab bar control but it was tricky as using one MovieListVC to show all 3 movie lists.
3. Created two instance of same vc for 2 tabs, but only second tab was showing data and first tab view was empty
