Following on from my review of Jennifer Reeder’s Knives and Skin from earlier this week, I got a chance to sit down with the writer and director herself to talk all things film. We talk the Berlinale, her inspirations, her next projects and what are Jennifer’s favourite three films… 4/11/2018 STN November 2018 column. Taken from the Syston Town News monthly column – by Adam Ray Palmer
Jeez, we’re into single digit weeks until Christmas now – where has 2018 gone? We’ve had many-a-top films this annum, but now we are in the ‘luxury end’ of the year as I like to call it. This is when all the Oscar-baiting movies drop, and the chat shows are crammed full of film talent campaigning for those golden statuettes. This month though, I don’t have too many hotly-tipped Academy Award potentials so… erm… what an awkward segue… we’ll wait until next month I guess!  By Lorna Baker
Following on from our review of the fascinatingly dark and suspenseful indie ‘Prowler’, we sat down with the trio behind the great Tractorni Productions’ debut feature film: Producer David Stock, Writer/Director Ignacio Maiso and Director of Photography Tim Jolly. Let’s kick things off with an easy question… right?  Sometimes, films just stick with you. A lot of the time it’s a specific plot, or a cast member, or even a killer scene that is simply mesmerising.
This feature is inspired by those majestic scenes, but more importantly because of the music over top that gives the finishing touch. When I think of certain films, sequences and soundtracks – there’s three films and symphonies that come straight to mind. What’s interesting, the three I mention below are within the last decade, clearly showing my age. But also, all three films are from the sci-fi genre. Clearly, the bellowing orchestral and electronic music leaves an impression on science-fiction dramas. 11/2/2018 Ever-evolving cinema: YouTube By Adam Ray Palmer
I thought I would share an opinion piece with you, something that I’ve been meaning to talk about for a while but I’ve not found the time to pull myself away from that YouTube platform long enough. If you haven’t guessed it from the obvious title, I want to discuss the way filmmaking is evolving, how movies are being distributed and how YouTube is impacting cinema.  By Adam Ray Palmer
For the fourth year in a row, Cineroom is back with our prediction for the blockbuster films that will draw the most cash in 2018. Last year, we got two out of five right, which isn’t the best. However, we were close with the others, but no cigar as someone apparently says. Let’s just hope at least five films topple that much-wanted number, else this opinion-piece is down and out!  What a year 2017 was. We had Brexit talk, we had Trump crap and we had La La Land win the Oscar’s Best Picture… oh wait. FYI – that still hurts.
But this feature is about facts, no fake news here. Below, we sieve through all the records that happened in 2017… so basically… you don’t have to!  By Adam Ray Palmer
Look! It’s 2018 guys! That means one thing… it’s the end of the world because of the ‘big buttons’ on those two egotistical blokes’ desks and all that jazz!

Please leave comments below if you agree, disagree or even to list your top eight, or 10 or whatever…  Glasgow Film Festival 2018 will open on 21 February with the UK premiere of Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs.

With the release of War for the Planet of the Apes in cinemas, it was time for a new battle! After the futile reboot of the series in 2001, the Apes series finally got fresh life thrown into it in 2011. Since then, it’s gone from strength to strength, aided of course by some spectacular CGI apes. Let the battle commence!  By Lorna Baker
It’s finally here, episode four of the Battle of the Sequels! This time around, I take on a franchise that has been around for nearly 15, yes 15, years. In anticipation of the fifth film in the long-running series Pirates of the Caribbean; I’ve decided to rank the previous four in quality. So, it’s time for a dive into the swashbuckling antics of a certain pirate: Captain Jack Sparrow! (Played by the brilliant Johnny Depp).  By Adam Ray Palmer
A few days ago, I attended the UK Blog Awards 2017 on behalf of Cineroom – I am the editor-in-chief after all! Cineroom were nominated in the ‘Arts and Culture’ category alongside seven other phenomenal blogs that were all vying for our specific gong. This blog serves as a recap to the big night and how it all unfolded... 7/4/2017 Films That Made Me. By Adam Ray Palmer
I’ve wanted to do this feature for a while and finally, I have sat down and had the chance to get on with it. This article is near enough a substantial diary entry of my personal film history, throughout my entire life. I thought I would share with you all six films that shaped my film passion. I’m hoping to get more people to tell their film history on Cineroom soon, but for now, here’s mine… |
