Welcome to The Reel Deal: movie reviews and happening from the mind of David Palmer.
I like movies, like kind of a lot. I’ve been seeing them since 1994 and reviewing them since 2011.
Thanks for reading and I’ll see you at the movies!

’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Review: More of What You (Didn’t) Expect
After last year’s “28 Years Later” turned out to be one of the best surprises of 2025, you think I would have learned to stop going into these things with any expectations; maybe the third time will be the charm. “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” is the sequel to “28 Years Later” and the…
Top 10 Best Films of 2025
After the drop in quality last year thanks to 2023’s Writers and Actors’ strikes, it felt inevitable that we would see a return to form at the movies in 2025. However I don’t think anyone expected it to turn out to be such a great year, with multiple films being touted by different people as…
‘Wicked: For Good’ Review: More of a Political Thriller Than a Bubbly Musical (and That’s for the Better)
Looks like I will once again be spearheading the campaign to give the former Nickelodeon child star an Oscar. “Wicked: For Good” is the sequel to last year’s “Wicked,” and serves as the adaptation of the Broadway play’s second act.

Nick Nolte, Lakeith Stanfield, and Sissy Spacek also star, while Lynne Ramsay directs. 2025 has been a pretty darn good year for movies but it…
‘Bugonia’ Review: An Uncomfortable, Thrilling, and Funny Sign of the Times
At this point, I’d be concerned if Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone made a film together that *wasn’t* unhinged. “Bugonia” is a remake of the 2003 film “Save the Green Planet!,” and follows two conspiracy theorists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) that kidnap a pharmaceutics CEO (Emma Stone), convinced that she is an alien planning…
‘Nuremberg’ Review: An Effective, If Not Uneven, Historical Drama
This film is going to do numbers in high school history classes for years to come. “Nuremberg” is based on the infamous trials of the same name, which tried the Nazi high command following World War II. It follows a military psychiatrist (Rami Malek) who is tasked with determining the competence of German officials, including…
