Bloody Cervical Mucus Ovulation

Sound It Out

"When I look at the records on the walls, I Can Hear Them All in my head, it's memories, all of Them, Every single one."



Tom is the owner / philosopher 's last surviving independent record store in Teeside, northeast England.
With an encyclopedic memory that allows him to remember how to find each of the 70,000 records accumulated in his small shop, Tom pulls out the week by selling 10 discs at a time every three days in a record store closes.
Jeanie Finlay, a young filmmaker, has made a documentary about this little cave of wonders managed by his former partner school. The 18 months have served to make it self-financing with the help of the network and 257 Internet users who believed in her and in the project.
A documentary about men, obsession and the unique role that music plays in their lives.
The network can deliver music, but can not substitute what it means for its customers a small record store, an oasis of refuge even for an hour, a safe place to escape from an oppressive life, to feel part the same group. A group consisting of 99% men morbidly attached to the vinyl that marked their lives. Collectors who do not have nearly enough money to live, but they always have some money to buy a Disk; olds now starting to dip into this world, eccentric and eclectic clients, who love metal, rock, indie rock, makin; obsessed fan of Status Quo. Jeanie regulars who looked around in that little microcosm that is the Sound it Out and has followed him inside their homes to discuss their record collections.

Biutiful

... you must not take your children, the Universe takes care of them!
but the Universe does not pay the rent ...




Two hours and 18 minutes to accompany Uxbal (Javier Bardem) at its end. A difficult and painful journey
through the streets of Barcelona's outskirts in a continuous dialogue with death that reveals the origins of the Mexican director.
Bardem must accommodate too many questions left open in the earthly world potersene to go in peace, does not have enough time, but we must try.
It must do so for two children who are afraid to be left alone too soon left him only as his father walked away before he was born.
Crossing the sandstorm (exploitation of immigration, disease, poverty, violence, corruption, drug addiction) with Uxbal, the viewer sees the handover (loop) between a father who decides to not aggrappparsi to life as people silly and a daughter who remains close until his last breath and promised not to forget.
The real punch in the stomach for the viewer is perhaps the realization of the impossibility of deciding how much and, sometimes, as vivere.L 'only consolation is to try to make the shot, hoping that those who come after us to get better.
