In This Corner…

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, you know who to call. But what if you find yourself 30 years in the past, and your neighborhood doesn’t exist at all? Who can possibly help you then?

Alien vs. Aliens - Flickchart_1253365152869

In This Corner…

The year is 1979, and film audiences are about to discover that in space, no one can hear you scream. Seven years later, the terror returns, and this time – it’s war.

We hope you enjoy the new look, and we’ll be coming back around here more often to keep all of you up to speed on what we’ve got in store for Flickchart.
