I think there is a more Rails-y way to do this. Derek Prior gave an excellent talk[1] at the recent RailsConf. The TLDW is "all-REST all-the-time." Applying this principal to the example in the article, instead of adding a custom `movie_rating` action, you would create a `MovieRatingsController` with a `show` action. Additionally, you might create an SJR[2] template which injects the rating directly into the page, possibly avoiding the need for a separate gem.
