This is certainly a late review when it comes to the Oscars, but an on-time one when it comes getting people to the theatres to see it. As you may know by now, Parasite is a multi-Oscar-winning film that picked up the big three of Original Screenplay, Best Director and the coveted Best Picture award. Let’s be honest, the above sentence is surely enough to make you go see it… 15/2/2020 Weekend Reviews episode #3 By Adam Ray Palmer
This feature does exactly what it says in the title. Some reviews of films, from over the weekend – basically. No matter the genre, nor the year… I basically watch a streaming service, or a DVD, and do a little bite-sized reviews for you to agree or disagree to. Out of the three, let me know which film you prefer! 10/2/2020 Uncut Gems film review. By Adam Ray Palmer
The Safdie brothers, a writing/directing pair, are back in 2020 with their sixth feature film as a collaboration for the online giants, Netflix. After a couple of weeks in cinemas, Uncut Gems made its way onto the streaming service last weekend and everyone around the world could enjoy the same cinematic anxiety together. Let me explain…  The last decade has seen a lot of things. Things that the world is definitely proud of, and certainly others that we are not so.
One thing that in the last decade that has been a constant joy is the making of many great movies. And as it is now 2020, we didn’t think we could allow the 2010s to leave us without a little celebration… 26/1/2020 Weekend Reviews episode #2 By Adam Ray Palmer

Arguably 1917 will be the war film of the year, and to be honest, it is certainly the best this decade so far… Sam Mendes brings the world a military epic of seismic magnitude. The technical pieces, the acting and the soundtrack are just three of the outstanding components. Let’s not waste time, I am writing this review in one single take (maybe three or four *hint hint) … 11/1/2020 The Irishman film review. By Adam Ray Palmer
Having digested this movie over the last few weeks, thinking deeply about Scorsese’s latest epic, I thought I’d finally share some thoughts. It’s been three years since Marty’s last feature, and The Irishman couldn’t be more different to Silence in narrative. But when Scorsese called up his mates, they couldn’t turn down a reunion… 5/1/2020 Tell Me Who I Am review. By Adam Ray Palmer
Every now and then, I look for a good documentary to do either one of two things… learn about a certain subject I am unfamiliar with, or to feel something that you do not feel often, good or bad. Tell Me Who I Am kind of does both the above, you follow a 20-year narrative that’s hard to witness but you also learn about yourself.  By Adam Ray Palmer
Two Oscar-winning actors. One Oscar-winning director. One Oscar-winning writer/producer. This surely means The Laundromat has the recipe to be a masterpiece. Well, on day five at #Venezia76, I had the opportunity to find out what the latest movie from Netflix’s production line had to offer. 31/8/2019 Venezia76: Joker film review. By Adam Ray Palmer
It’s finally here, the review I couldn’t wait to write before the festival began. And now, after seeing Joker this morning, I am even more ecstatic to be penning this. Directed by Hollywood veteran Todd Phillips from his script, also co-written with Scott Silver; Joker stars the consistently remarkable Joaquin Phoenix alongside the legend Robert De Niro and the up and coming Zazie Beetz. |
