Well, if the weather keeps up this nice warm summery fuzzy feeling then I donât doubt weâll be spending our time outside enjoying a B.B.Q, playing some frisby and falling asleep in the garden trying not to get burnt. But, as ever if Mother Nature's mood changes and you're compelled to come inside weâve compiled a list of pure Retro Movie Entertainment for your peeping pleasure. Including everyone's favourite bird flipping orangutan, skate boarding caveman, and just because I havenât quite got over how awesome Avengers was the equally awesome Fantastic Four.

If Jem And The Holograms was made into a movie...
We've just come across these amazing photos by the ultra talented darkodark which we couldn't resist sharing with you guys!
He's mocked up a whole host of different celebrities as if they were the cast of a live action Jem And The Holograms movie and don't they all look amazing.
The likes of Rihana, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga look as if they were born to be the various characters - so much so that it seems crazy that a movie hasn't actually been made already.
Anyway - check out the photos below and let us know your thoughts in the comments box!

Guest Post: Bringing the 80s Back with Fydelity Bum Bags! + Comp!
What comes to your mind when you think about the 1980s? The big hair? Mullets? Retro accessories? Tetris? Saved by the Bell? Some of the best films of all time? (The Goonies - hello!) There so much cheese associated with this decade that people just can't seem to let go of - including the fashion... and the music!
In just under one month's time, the 80s will be brought right to the forefront of people's minds once again with the release of one of the most fun-looking musicals-turned-movies of all time - 'Rock of Ages'! Classics such as 'We built this city', 'Don't stop believin'' and 'Can't fight this feeling' (plus much, much more) will be worming their way into our heads thanks to the likes of Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mary J Blige and Russell Brand - the stars of this new film.
And the timing couldn't be better really, as 80s fashion seems to have made a comeback; bodycon dresses, denim jackets, plastic jewellery, bum bags - wait, bum bags?
Yes, that is a leather studded bum bag worn by Julianne Hough, one of the stars of 'Rock of Ages', behind the scenes of the film. Accessorising a denim skirt and cowboy boots, this is definitely 80s rock chick! And she's not the only celeb to be rocking (get it!) this style.
She has definitely been influenced by the era's fashion and has sported a tight perm, oversized blazers, high tops and even shell suit jackets in the past - a fanny pack seemed like the next step! Teamed with double denim, she looks casual, comfortable yet still fab! I've always been a bit unsure of the denim on denim look, but I really like this outfit!
However, this is the 80s we are talking about, so there should be some sort of cool, edgy gimmick.... enter Fydelity and their range of working speaker bags - including the bum bag!
