Instead of creating a MovieView here and appending its HTML directly to the DOM, it would probably make more sense to add the newMovie to the movie list. That would trigger an update event, which would be handled by render, resulting in the same thing.

Aside from being DRYer, the fact that you don't add the movie to the list here means that if this view re-renders for some other reason, the newly added movie will be absent.
