Notes

entrtainment_center.py defines six instances of Movie class found in media.py and initiates them with a movie title, storyline, poster image url, and youtube movie trailer url. Then entertainment_center.py creates an array called movies with the six Movie instance names and passes it as an argument to a function called open_movies_page in fresh_tomatoes.py.

fresh_tomatoes.py creates fresh_tomatoes.html to show the six movies poster image, title, and when clicked plays the youtube movie trailer.
