Please Note: Not all the titles listed on VCDQuality will display the Rotten Tomatoes data. There are three main reasons why the Tomatometer score is not displayed:

1.) The ratings are retrieved based on the IMDB movie ID, if the IMDB badge is not present on the VCDQuality page for a particular title, then the IMDB ID cannot be parsed and the rating will not be displayed.
2.) The IMDB ID number is not properly associated with the title on the Rotten Tomatoes site.
3.) The movie is not listed on Rotten Tomatoes, or (more likely) does not have enough reviews compiled to have a Tomatometer score associated with it.

Unfortunately all three of these external factors are something that I can't mitigate in the code. It is what it is... I hope you like it. :-)
