c.d. opens with two stories about The Killer…Jerry Lee Lewis and segues into 2 films. First Cosmopolis…too much navel gazing…he walked out.  Then a film he is still mesmerized with a few days after seeing it…The Master.

c.d. opens with grief for Kyle and Beck.  Then the review starts with Sleepwalk With Me…he was looking for laughs and got a smirk.  The second film he dealt with was the sitcomish…For A Good Time, Call. No laughs here either maybe a chuckle.

The Maven takes a few seconds to tip his hat to Kyle for his interview with Amiee Mann, Karen Bergquest and Joe Henry. Then to “Compliance”…a beautifully depicted film…but would it creep you out?

c.d. begins with the blues and his social life…Then segues to a documentary… “worth seeing” …Bill W. about Bill Wilson…the founder of AA.   Next…no dingbat movie…Celeste & Jesse Forever…a comedy that’s a cut above.

c.d. opens our discussion by preaching on why you should get Bob Dylan.  Then he turns his attention to a documentary with a certain charm…that deals with the rich being different than us…The Queen Of Versailles.

c.d. opens on the topic of White Castles and the late night rock & roll experience.  Then reels himself in with The Campaign featuring Will Ferrel and Zach Galifianakis…humorously nasty and no more absurd than real life politics. Then he touches on the cut above…shooting and chases of The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz.

c.d. begins articulating how Sarah Polley…who has acted in 55 films…is better behind the camera directing Take This Waltz…with Michelle Williams, Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman…another Indy film making this summer season so interesting.  Total Recall…not so much…all chases…a needless remake.

In his own words…c.d.k. was stunned by the emotional film-making in Beasts Of The Southern Wild.  His highest hopes were actually surpassed.
