c.d.’s conversation begins with The Dalai Lama in New Orleans with Allen Toussaint and Dr. John…and then he enlightens us on how he walked out of Star Trek after 90 seconds to see Iron Man 3…with toss-away banter…worth seeing.  He finishes out our time together with the Scottish film…The Angel Share.

Sans any pre-review gabbing…c.d. got right into the details of an important film.  The very difficult to review…The Great Gatsby.  No Iron Man 3, but he also saw two worth seeing movies…Pain & Gain and Mud.

To start, c. d. articulates on The Kentucky Derby and Jazz Fest in New Orleans.  Then his attention turns to…The Company You Keep…full of stunning acting and star power.

c.d. had no complaints about the film he reviewed…The Sapphires…a movie he loved and whole heartedly endorsed.

c.d. opens discussing the stunning Leonard Cohen show…then he expresses surprise that he didn’t see Jack Kerouac’s…On The Road…but he did see the high gloss, low cost…The Call with Halle Berry.

c.d. breaks the ice with Basketball…Basketball…Basketball.  Then opines on…the not your Mom and Dads spring break movie…Spring Breakers…with an award quality performance by James Franco.

CD hits the ground running with a lesson on B movies. Then he dives into Phantom, a delightfully engaging B movie about a Soviet submarine crew.

The birthday Maven begins speaking of senior moments and losing his phone.  He then opines on and turns his attention to…Americana of the highest order…The Oscars.
