About the Flipside

Launched in 2000, Flipside Movie Emporium featured reviews and commentary on new movies and DVDs. In addition to the usual Hollywood, art-house, and international fare, the site also covered micro-budget indies and under-the-radar films from the fringes -- the ones completely invisible to the mainstream media (like SOV horror movies).

Then it disappeared without a trace.

Until now.

FlipsideArchive.com collects Flipside Movie Emporium's entire archive of nearly 1,000 movie reviews and articles from 2000 to 2008, exactly as they originally appeared. For better or worse, even the site design is mostly the same, aside from some slight modifications to make it a bit more mobile-friendly. The main difference is the address because domain squatters swooped in and nabbed flipsidemovies.com during a brief expiration window, then kindly asked if we would like to pay thousands of dollars to get it back. No thanks.

FlipsideArchive.com brought everything back in 2014.

Anyway, Zap2it.com called our reviews "sensible, intelligent, gutsy" and Fantagraphics said we were cool. See what others said about us (only the good stuff, of course), and check out some of the books we are mentioned in or cited by.
