In order to get a better randomization by avoiding movie repeates,
this class helps get a random movie based on its "lastPlayedDate".
The function keeps grabbing random movies, checking the "lastPlayedDate",
comparing it with todays date, and checking the delta against
the user specified "TIME_GAP_MONTHS" (which defaults at 6 [months]).
It stops and returns the first random movie that satisfies the condition.
However, if it runs through every movie and no movie satifies the condition,
it then simply returns any movie.
A list of all the movies are passed into this class ordered by
"lastPlayedDate". The function then runs through the array to
find the first movie that satisfies the delta of "lastPlayedDate"
and "TIME_GAP_MONTHS". Then a new array with the rest of the movies
that satisfy the condition is created. From there a random movie
is picked and returned. If however, the function hits the end of the
array of movies and the condition is not satisfied (all movies have
been played more recently than the "TIME_GAP_MONTHS"), a random movie
is then returned.
For smaller movie libraries it'll be useful to calculate a reasonable
"TIME_GAP_MONTHS".
