Access JSON generated via Flixter API

I am trying to develop a web app to leverage flixster API (Rotten Tomatoes) I a trying to access url at : http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?apikey=w697y3tvc9n4arza5vcnx9zt&q=alien

I am pretty sure there is a way to include this cross domain JSON or shall i simply include url of the app just like any other src/css ?

function callflixapi() {
    var url ='http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?callback=jsonprequest&apikey=w697y3tvc9n4arza5vcnx9zt&q=alien';
}

function jsonprequest(response){
    console.log(response);
}

This is the code i use using jsonp. I call callflixapi on body load of document
