Blu-ray Review: Abigail (2019)

Abigail (Tinatin Dalakishvili) has grown up in a city surrounded by a thick border constructed to keep a mysterious illness at bay… an illness so severe that if you show any signs of having it the government just hauls your ass away (as they did with Abigail’s own father). The problem with this is, the disease doesn’t exist. In fact, Abigail’s city has been overtaken by dark magic users who have attempted to erase all knowledge of magic in a city once full of it, and dig this; the people hauled away are those suspected of being able to possess magic ability. This of course sets Abigail off on a journey to find her father while learning to control her own burgeoning magical abilities while becoming a hero to the downtrodden… all in a days work for our scrappy heroine! The first thing you will doubtless notice about Abigail is that this film is absolutely a visual wonder. Every detail

A Radio Station Is Under Attack In ‘Feedback’ – From The Producer Of ‘The Shallows’

In the film, “Jarvis Dolan (Eddie Marsan) is the star journalist of the successful London radio nightclub The Grim Reality. At the beginning of his program, some hooded macabre burst into the studio, taking control at gunpoint. They are there to bring to light a scandal that could be the end of Jarvis. Obliged to continue with the program, live, following the script of the assailants, the night will become a nightmare.” Paul Anderson, Ivana Baquero, and Richard Brake also star in the film co-written by Alonso and Alberto Marini.

Why You Absolutely Should Be Watching Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.

Saturday (June 13th) was the premiere of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell on BBC America, and if you didn’t watch it, you definitely should have. Why? Because it’s awesome, and because I said so. . .what are you still doing here? Why aren’t you checking to see if it’s On-Demand or something? Oh fine, if you won’t just take my word for it I guess I’ll try and explain why it’s awesome, and why you should be watching it. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is based on the Hugo Award-winning novel of the same name, written by Susanna Clarke. Never having read the book, I can’t speak to the television series’ quality as an adaptation, but as someone who does watch a butt-load of television, I can speak to its quality as an excellent TV show. The series is extremely original and innovative, exploring territory that is very rarely explored in either movies or television, alternate history. Hold on, before
