A cool thing in ruby --- you can tell movies what attribute you want it to collect. (collect is an alias for map, so I'm going to use map below)
data = movies.map(&:attribute)
data.inject(0.0) { |sum, rating| sum + rating } / data.size

I thought there would likely be a cool Ruby thing that would do this in a generic way, but I'm unfamiliar with the &:attribute notation, so I couldn't get it to work. I need to spend some time going through the Enumerable module.

Looks really good! My only suggestion is that when you are rescue'ing the find_movie method, you could be rescuing too many exceptions. I'd rather the API that does the search know that there is a condition where a movie can be not-found, and return that condition. The downside to a blank "rescue" is that it hides all exceptions that might occur, such as the website being down, or problems with your code. |

That makes sense. I had to comment out the rescue sometimes in order to figure out why the program wasn't working. |
