Since I switched from TableViewController to CollecitonViewController there was a few issues I had with the set up and displaying content on the CollectionViewController.

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
I actually redid the whole application due to a file system messup. I saw redoing both part 1 and part 2 of this project as extra review. So being patient and redoing the application was the hard part. For that reason the time spent on Project 1 has been increased to reflect redoing that part to include some of the extra features.
Additionally, CocoaPods, the dependency manager, continues to give me a hard time as I need to reinstall it on every reboot, which I have done 3 times. Something to do with permissions and security of OS El Capitan and Ruby Gems made it so I had to try several ways to install cocoapods.
Also, I also customized the UI to include the search bar which was a part of the extra credit of from the flicks-app part 1 (last week).
