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

‘La bola negra’ Review: A Well-Shot and Delicate Story
If nothing else, this film taught me where the term “blackballing” comes from! “La bola negra” follows three young men in 1932, 1937, and 2017, and how their lives are connected by the work of Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca. Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Penélope Cruz, and Glenn Close all star,…
‘Clayface’ Review: R-Rated Comicbook Flick Gets Under Your (Moldable) Skin
It’s like the old saying goes: if you can’t beat ’em, take a dangerous unregulated drug that allows you to physically resemble them. “Clayface” follows a rising young actor (Tom Rhys Harries) who is disfigured by a mob boss and undergoes an experimental surgery to fix it, only to have mutative side effects.

Jeremy Allen White…
‘Digger’ Review: Tom Cruise Leads a Messy but Ambitious Satire
For as divisive as this film will inevitably be, it’s just nice to see Tom Cruise doing some non-blockbuster acting again. “Digger” follows an oil tycoon (Tom Cruise) who races to control the narrative after one of his rigs causes a global catastrophe. Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons also…
‘Verity’ Review: Latest Colleen Hoover Adaptation Is Neither Campy nor Thrilling Enough
Despite a solid cast, Colleen Hoover’s latest adapter novel fails to deliver gripping thrills or campy elements, resulting in a mediocre viewing experience.
