Rob (John Cusack), an obsessive record collector in his mid-thirties, is struggling to reconcile his adolescent enthusiasm for pop music with adult responsibilities and a more mature outlook. He runs a record shop with his friends Barry (Jack Black) and Dick (Todd Louiso), who are known to drive away customers whose taste in music doesn't match their exacting standards - which may have something to do with why the shop is losing money. The three espouse encyclopedic knowledge of records while making lists of everything from the Top Five Side 1s and Track 1s to the Top Five Songs About Death. To Rob's horror, Laura starts dating Ian (Tim Robbins), his upstairs neighbor, known throughout the building for his long and noisy sex sessions. Rob, on the other hand, finds himself catching the attention of singer/songwriter Marie DeSalle (Lisa Bonet), as he tries to deal with his breakup by tracking down his Top 5 Breakups and taking a fresh look at what he's been doing wrong.

The Death (Or Possible Survival) of The Independent Record Store” a documentary feature examining why over 3000 independent record stores have closed across the U.S. in the past decade.

Not Rated
60 minutes
http://www.www.thatsit-thatsall.com
Free For All Patrons!
Sponsored by GSU Interfraternity Council, Quicksliver, and Red Bull
Amid the never-ending mission to find the next adventure comes a snowboard film that opens doors to the possibilities. Dedicated to everything snowboarding, Travis Rice and a dream team crew set out on a seek-and-destroy operation for the new zone, the new trick and the new perspective on the sport. New Zealand, Valdez, B.C., Munich, Tokyo, Jackson Hole and more are in a new light with action that leaves you wondering, how did they do that? Aspiring to bring you closer, the film answers the question why Trice and his friends have poured blood, sweat, tears and soul into a simple thing like snowboarding. Take a look. That's it. That's all.

Darius Goes West (85 minutes, 2007)
http://www.dariusgoeswest.org
Our guests will be Jamie (Darius’s mom) and Barbara (the filmmaker, Logan Smalley’s mom)
In this multi-award-winning documentary, 15 year old Darius Weems and eleven of his best friends set off across America with the ultimate goal of getting his wheelchair customized on MTV’s Pimp My Ride. Before heading west, Darius had never seen mountains, dipped his toes into an ocean, or even left his hometown of Athens, Georgia. The result of the trip is a rarely seen testament to the explosive idealism of today’s youth, as well as a vivid portrayal of adventure, of brotherhood, and of the character and strength it takes to shed light on an uncertain future. Part revolution, part revelation, this film proves to people of all ages how life, even when imperfect, is always worth the ride. Darius Goes West - know about it.
