Now position this new ImgeView above the TextView. Check the documentation for help on which attribute to use

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/white" >

  <TextView          
    android:id="@+id/movieTitle"          
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="32sp"
    android:text=""           
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"           
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" 
    android:layout_above="@id/movieTitle/>

  <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/movieImage"         
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"

you can use android:layout_above and put it in the ImageView not the TextView

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/white" >

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/movieTitle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="32sp"
    android:text=""
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" />

  <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/movieImage"
    android:layout_above="@id/movieTitle"         
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</RelativeLayout>
