[Spoilers] The ending is often the let-down with horror movies, and here we have another example. This movie sets the scene, maintains an eerie vibe for quite some time, and also has some surprises, but having a two-year kill people isn't scary, it's closer to comedic. Therefore, the final act is mostly a miss.

[SPOILERS] As the synopsis mentions, an overweight, unhappy cook gets some joy in his life when a beautiful young lady named Callie (Liv Tyler) starts working at his mother's restaurant. This kept me interested, but I didn't feel like it went anywhere. His mother died, and he didn't tell anyone... That didn't really matter. The fact that she was gone leading to him having more responsibility with the business didn't really come into play. His weight concerns didn't end up mattering. Then there is the ending with him meeting someone. What happened previously that made that happen? Was there character development that allowed him to meet a woman? I didn't see it. I don't know if this was the intention, but at times when he was with Callie, the music was intense and the mood created made it seem like something wild was about to happen, only for it never to happen. I also found Victor, the main character, mute like qualities annoying. Speak, Man!!! 2.5-3/5.

I've just listened to Day26's second album, and that is much better, particularly for the high points it has. I gave this a few spins, and nothing really caught my attention. Best Tracks: Don't Fight the Feeling

Day26 are from Diddy's talent search TV show, 'Making the Band'. The 4 boys can sing with one reminding me somewhat of Usher. The opener is helped by its hook to make it worth a listen. 'The Imma Put It on Her' only has the hook going for it. Diddy doesn't help it by 'rapping' a verse using it to advertise and the same can be said for Yung Joc, minus the advertising. The following 'Shawty Wats Up' featuring T-Pain (off course he is here, it was 2008!) is one of the worst songs here. So, this isn't a great start. Thankfully it starts to get better. The gods of R&B production, Tim & Bob, contribute to the ballad, 'Think of Me', that is the best song here. It features a dope chorus and some progression and variety in production throughout the song. 'Stadium Music' amps it back up for some more upbeat R&B and is forgettable. 'Bipolar' doesn't have very exciting verses, but like the first couple of songs, has a fire hook, actually even better than them, so it means it's not bad. 'Perfectly Blind' is the slowest song and doesn't have a catchy hook to save it this time. It's kind of nice and vibey though. Some will enjoy it more than me. Then for much of the remaining songs we are mostly given slow jamz with a number of very good moments that are listed below, again with some dope choruses. The better upbeat tune appears as well thanks to 'Need That' being a toe tapping tune. It's an inconsistent project but the strong moments are very good and it has a number of production touches that take me back the mid-late '00s in R&B. 'Babymaker' has a similar start to Bow Wow's 'Shortie Like Mine' and 'Bipolar' has the same sample as Nas' 'Hero'. Its worth checking out even if there are some skips to be had. Beats: ★★★☆ Singing: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★★ Best Tracks: Think of Me, So Good, Girlfriend, Then There's You, Reminds Me of You

I paused this movie and I was surprised it was only 70 minutes of the way through. For under two hours it drags on. With all of her violent visions at the beginning of the movie I expected some twist, or for her to have actually have been involved in the massacre, but nothing came of it. It came and went in the end.
