In this website, we integrate two APIS: The NYT Movie Reviews API and OMDb API. The NYT API provides reviews by top critics and OMDb API provides a variety of information about movies such as description, point ratings, posters, etc. Using the data from these APIs, we hope to create site for users to easily search and save movies they're interested in, as well as read opinions of critics on the films.
