The Deliverance starts off fairly promising, with a new slant (dash of social realism) for horror films thrown in. Glenn Close (by far the best performance) does a showy turn as the main character's mother. Sadly, it's all downhill after the second half. The pacing very quickly picks up, and it descends into what can only be described as a pastiche of just about every horror movie ever created, topped-off with some very patchy performances from, for example, the exorcist preacher (why on earth does she turn up like Missy Elliot to perform the exorcism?). Mo'Nique is underused, and just plain annoying as the bolshie social worker, and is allowed about 2 minutes to do some real acting lamenting the loss of her own child. I laughed through many of the scenes that were supposed to be either chilling or scary. And this was based (very loosely I imagine) on a true story?

Supacell is a fairly likeable piece of sci-fi. However, there's real issues with some of the plotting, pace, and dialogue. I'm also just wondering why the main baddies are all white? Is it some clunky metaphor for white supremacy? It will be interesting to see where this series goes.

I so wanted to like this album, but sadly I didn't. I won't even bother going into whether this is a country album or not, because that's not the point. There's far too much hyperbole contained within the reviews already here. Suffice to say, it certainly isn't a masterpiece or a work of art, just a pleasant overproduced diversion with Beyoncé straying into a musical sound world that isn't usually her own. The only thing that manages to carry the album off is Beyoncé's vocals which are, of course, great. But my, that cover version of Jolene is pretty dire.
