Captain America: Civil War Out This Week - Are You Ready??
Oh how our geeky senses are trembling! With the release of the action-packed new Captain America film Civil War just a few days away *eeeeeep!*, Truffle Towers is a buzz with anticipation of the epic new addition to our already quickly growing superhero movie faves and it's not hard to see why.
Packed with more superheroes than a kid's toy box, this amazing new adventure is sure to feed even the most hungry hero lover out there with amazing special effects, combat and some good old fashioned hero cheesiness. What's not to love right?
So what's it all about?
This big new adventure finds Captain America leading an Avengers team that includes Iron Man, Black Widow, Falcon, Winter Soldier, War Machine, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man and Spider-Man. Following a major attack which results in huge collateral damage and the loss of civilian lives, political pressure mounts as the government seeks more accountability and regulation on their actions.
This sparks a divide in the Avengers with The Captain seeking to remain free from such control and the usually wayward rogue Iron Man who believes the team should work with the officials. Members of the team pick a side and are forced to fight for what they believe. That can only go well...
See for yourself! Take a peep at this official trailer for a glimpse at the action....
The weekly retro movie rundown 5!
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.

Stargate (1994) ITV4 2:45pm-5:10pm (2 hours 25 minutes)

Another Stakeout (1993) Film4 6:45pm-9:00pm (2 hours 15 minutes)
The weekly retro movie rundown 2!
This week on the retro weekend movie rundown, it all seems a bit Superhero heavy, most likely due to the release of the Avengers movie in cinemas this week (anyone planning on leaving their sofa to watch that by the way?)
Despite that - there are still a few old school corkers in there so plenty of excuses not to leave your house all weekend in the name of your retro movie education!
Iâve done my best to include some classic movies I think you should watch, a few movies from that boy wizard we all know and love and one guilty pleasure - Iâll let you guess which one that is (Whatever!)
Enjoy and have a happy weekend of retro movie watching TruffleShufflers.....
SATURDAY 28th APRIL
