The Machine sends us to April 7, 1995 to cover the wistful romantic drama Don Juan Demarco starring Johnny Depp, Marlon Brando, and Faye Dunaway.
Don Juan DeMarco (played by Johnny Depp), is the world’s greatest lover. He wanders the streets of 1990s New York City wearing a cape, hat, and Zorro mask, seducing beautiful women who are utterly powerless to resist his charms. But he’s despondent, because the love of his life, Dona Anna, has rejected him. DeMarco tries to take his own life by jumping off a billboard, but he is talked off the ledge by eminent psychiatrist Jack Mickler, played by Marlon Brando, who takes him into his care for a ten-day mental health evaluation at a local hospital. Over the course of multiple sessions, DeMarco tells Mickler the dramatic, sensual story of his sexual awakening and how his exploits as the world’s greatest lover drove a wedge between him and his one true love. As Mickler attempts to uncover the truth behind DeMarco’s tall tales, the young man’s colorful stories lead him to rekindle the passion in his own relationship with his wife, Marilyn, played by Faye Dunaway.

The Machine sends us to August 20th, 2021 to cover the romantic, science fiction, action-filled film noir Reminiscence, starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Thandiwe Newton, and Cliff Curtis.
In a futuristic, flooded Miami, war veteran Nick Bannister (played by Hugh Jackman from "Deadpool & Wolverine") and his business partner Watts (played by Thandiwe Newton) run a business where patrons can re-live fond memories. The process, called reminiscence, is accomplished using a large machine that projects the unconscious client’s memories as Bannister guides them with a series of verbal prompts. Bannister falls hard for one of his customers, Mae (played by Rebecca Ferguson), a beautiful nightclub singer who hires him to search her memories for her lost keys. After a brief, passionate relationship, Mae disappears, and a despondent Bannister begins obsessively re-living his memories of her to discover clues about who she was and where she went. His investigation leads him from the depths of Miami’s criminal underworld to the gilded halls of a wealthy property tycoon’s estate as he slowly uncovers Mae’s sad and sordid past as a drug addict with ties to the mob.

The Machine sends us to May 13, 2016 to cover the pulse-pounding thriller Money Monster, starring George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Jack O'Connell.
Lee Gates (played by George Clooney) is the host of Money Monster, a brash, bawdy, over-the-top financial analysis show where he shares hot stock tips and berates his viewers into making big, risky investments with the promise of Wall Street riches. Gates is arrogant, selfish, and frequently in cahoots with the CEOs of the companies he promotes on his show. His longtime producer Patti Fenn (played by Julia Roberts) can no longer stand him and has finally quit. But during her final Money Monster broadcast, an enraged gunman barges into the studio, straps a bomb to Gates’ chest, and threatens to blow it up if anybody cuts off the broadcast. His name is Kyle Budwell (played by Jack O’Connell), and he’s a working class deliveryman who lost his life savings after investing with IBIS Clear Capital, a company Gates heavily promoted on the show that recently lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to a glitch in their trading algorithm. Kyle rants to the camera about the excesses of the 1% while brandishing a gun in Gates’ face and demanding answers from Ibis CEO Walt Camby (played by Dominic West). As Gates defends his life on live TV, Patti and the Money Monster crew work with a rogue IBIS executive and a group of Icelandic computer hackers to uncover the truth: Walt Camby stole the money to use in an elaborate market manipulation scam involving a South African mining company. Outraged, Gates joins forces with Kyle and they march down Wall Street together to confront Camby with the evidence of his wrongdoing live on air.

The Machine sends us to August 8, 2012 to cover the domestic dramatic comedy Hope Springs starring Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, and Steve Carell.
Omaha housewife Kay Soames (played by Meryl Streep) has been married to her husband Arnold (played by Tommy Lee Jones) for 31 years. They sleep in separate bedrooms. Arnold barely looks at her and avoids all physical contact. They haven’t had sex in five years. Desperate to restore some sense of intimacy and romance to her life, Kay suggests that they travel to the tiny town of Hope Springs, Maine, to seek out the services of famed couples’ therapist Dr. Bernard Feld (played by Steve Carell). Arnold refuses to acknowledge that anything is wrong in the relationship, but he reluctantly goes with her, complaining the entire way. During several intensive therapy sessions over the course of a week, Dr. Feld coaches the two of them through a series of exercises that help reignite their passion for one another and bring love back to their marriage.

The Machine sends us to August 23, 2002 to cover Hollywood-satire-science-fiction-dramedy S1M0NE starring Al Pacino, Catherine Keener, Rachel Roberts, and Evan Rachel Wood.
Fledgling art film director Viktor Taransky (played by Al Pacino) gets into a fight with entitled movie star Nicola Anders (played by Winona Ryder) that leads her to walk off the set of his latest film. The movie studio, run by his ex-wife Elaine (played by Catherine Keener), opts to pull the plug on his film rather than recast the role, and his Hollywood career looks like it’s over. Until a dying tech whiz gives Taransky a hard drive containing the prototype for an entirely virtual actress (played by Rachel Roberts) who is endlessly deferential and accommodating to the director’s vision. Taransky dubs the CGI actress Simone and uses her to complete his film while keeping her virtual identity a secret. The finished film is a hit and Simone becomes an overnight global superstar. As Taransky and Simone’s Hollywood fortunes rise, he struggles to manage her newfound fame while going to greater and greater lengths to keep Simone’s adoring fans from finding out that Simone doesn’t even exist.

The Machine sends us to May 22, 2015 to cover the forgotten remake of the beloved 80's horror film Poltergeist, starring Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jane Adams, and Jared Harris.
Newly laid-off father Eric Bowen (played by Sam Rockwell) and his aspiring author wife Amy (played by Rosemarie DeWitt) move into a house in suburban Illinois with their three children: 16-year-old Kendra (played by Saxon Sharbino), 10-year-old Griffin (played by Kyle Catlett) and 6-year-old Madison (played by Kennedi Clements). As they get settled in their new home, Madison begins communicating with an otherworldly presence through the television, which messes with the lights and electronics to frighten and torment Griffin. While their parents are away at a dinner party during a rainstorm, Griffin is attacked by clown dolls and an old tree outside the house, Kendra is nearly pulled into a pool of tar in the garage, and Madison is lured through a portal in her closet. With their daughter missing and seemingly trapped between our world and the afterlife, the Bowens seek help from a team of parapsychologists and TV ghost hunter Carrigan Burke (played by Jared Harris) to bring their daughter back to the land of the living.

The Machine sends us to August 4, 2006 to watch the Nickelodeon animated film Barnyard, with voices by Kevin James, Courtney Cox, and Sam Elliot.
The animals at a sleepy little farm deep in the country have a big secret: whenever the farmer isn’t looking, they all walk on two legs, talk, and engage in all sorts of lighthearted shenanigans. The leader of the animals is Ben (voiced by Sam Elliott), a tough and stoic Holstein cow who keeps all the others in line, makes sure humans don’t find about their anthropomorphic lifestyle, and defends the farm from the vicious coyotes that lurk beyond the fence. His carefree son Otis (voiced by Kevin James) is more interested in goofing around with his friends than learning the principles of leadership - until Ben dies in a coyote attack, and it falls to Otis to lead the farm. As he struggles to balance his inner party animal with the new responsibilities that have been thrust upon him, Otis relies on the wisdom of his friend Miles the Mule (voiced by Danny Glover) and flirts with Daisy (voiced by Courtney Cox), a widowed pregnant cow who has just arrived on the farm.

The Machine sends us to August 28, 1998 to cover the multi-character music drama 54 starring Ryan Phillippe, Salma Hayek, Breckin Meyer, and Mike Myers.
It’s 1979, and 19-year-old gas station attendant Shane O’Shea (played by Ryan Phillippe) is determined to break out of his humdrum suburban life in New Jersey to experience the glitz and glamor of New York City’s hottest and most exclusive nightclub, Studio 54. Standing in the crowd outside the club, Shane catches the eye of 54’s eccentric and mercurial owner, Steve Rubell (played by Mike Myers), who grants him entry and gives him a job as a shirtless bartender. As Shane is drawn into the world of casual sex, drug use, and glamorous debauchery inside the club, he forms a friendship with fellow waiter Greg (played by Breckin Meyer) and Greg’s wife Anita, an aspiring musician (played by Salma Hayek). But when this hard partying lifestyle begins to take its toll on his relationships - and the IRS takes an interest in 54’s dubious finances - Shane seeks an escape from this world of glitz and glamor with soap opera day-player and club regular Julie (played by Neve Campbell).

The Machine sends us to June 29, 2016 to cover the pulp adventure blockbuster The Legend of Tarzan starring Alexander Skarsgard, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson, and Christoph Waltz.
Eight years ago, Tarzan (played by Alexander Skarsgard) left the jungle with his American wife, Jane (Margot Robbie), and returned to his family’s estate in England, where he lives a life of luxury under his birth name, John Clayton, Earl of Greystoke. In 1889, Clayton, Jane, and American diplomat George Washington Williams (Samuel L. Jackson) return to Africa at the invitation of King Leopold II of Belgium, who has invited them to tour his colonies in the Congo Free State. Little do they realize that the invitation is a trap: the king’s nefarious envoy Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz) plans to capture Tarzan and deliver him to Tarzan’s old nemesis Chief Mbonga (Djimon Hounsou) in exchange for blood diamonds to finance the king’s brutal colonial regime. When Jane is captured by Rom’s forces, Tarzan must reclaim his title as king of the jungle and rally human and animal allies to defeat the colonizers and free his friends.

Seattle news reporter Lanie Karrigan (Angelina Jolie) has carefully curated her dream life: Marilyn Monroe looks, a star baseball player fiancé (Christian Kane), and a rising career. When the opportunity to go national comes up, her station manager pairs her with Pete, a seasoned producer (Edward Burns,) to strengthen her profile.
