Welcome to The Reel Deal: movie reviews and happening from the mind of David Palmer.

‘The Bride’ Review: A New Spin on Old Tale Is Largely Style Over Substance
“The Bride!” offers a unique take on the Frankenstein mythos, featuring Jessie Buckley as the titular character revived by a scientist in 1930s Chicago. While visually appealing and ambitious, the film struggles with its narrative coherence and leaves several threads unresolved, resulting in mixed results.
‘Scream 7’ Review: Some Fun, but Many Missed Opportunities
It’s like they say in “The Dark Knight:” you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the sort of film your franchise set out to make fun of. “Scream 7” is the seventh installment of the 30-year-old slasher franchise, and follows a new Ghostface killer targeting the family of Sidney…

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande reprise their roles as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda…
‘Die My Love’ Review: A Deranged Glimpse into Parenthood
Well that sure was… something! “Die My Love” follows a new mother (Jennifer Lawrence) who seems to slowly slip into madness alongside her husband (Robert Pattinson) in their isolated Montana home. 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…
