Just what the Internet needs: another effin’ movie site!
But Flick Attack is different: No news. No scoops. No rumors. No set reports. No fanboys hiding behind fake names. Just one kick-ass review a day, Monday through Friday (more or less), with the occasional article on Saturday and/or Sunday to make your weekend that much awesomer.
Yep, that’s right: Every day (mood depending), you get one review, so take it or leave it. While everyone else pees their pants over the latest and soon-to-be-latest multiplex releases, we’re gonna dig through our archives and toss out something that’s most likely not playing a theater near you. Maybe you’ve heard of it; maybe you haven’t; maybe it’s easy to find; maybe it’s not — doesn’t matter, and we don’t care. You will read it, and you will like it.
So if you like discovering cinematic trash-terpieces, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got horror, sci-fi, action, kung fu, comedy and sex. But no drama. If it’s tears you want, we’ll be more than happy to kick you in the shin.
