The code below is a slightly modified version of the SampleApp that fetches the data well need to build our application. The data fetching code isnt really relevant to learning React Native so dont worry too much about that but the rest of the app is very well documented.

```
After changing the entire contents of this file to the snippet above you should be able to simply cmd+R in the simulator to see the change. It should render “Loading movies..." until it gets the data back from Rotten Tomatoes at which point it should render “Movies loaded”.
## ListView
Lets now modify this application to render some of this data in a ListView.
