The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 279
Knock knock, who's there? Retro. Retro who? Retro movie weekend that who! (okay terrible we know).
Swinging it's way towards us like a Howler monkey in the jungle dancing from tree to tree, another retro movie weekend has appeared and is bearing a whole host of movie fruits for us to snack on over the next few says. Some sweet, some tough and other that just slip down almost far to easy. Let's take a look at what we've got!
SATURDAY 24th MARCH
Anastasia (1997) Film4 11:00am-1:00pm (2 hours)

Great Gatsby! Another retro movie filled weekend is here folks. Time for adventure, mystery and of course a full helping of action. Let's go!
Climbing the steep, cold and grainy steps up towards the top board, we find our excitement and nerves increasing evermore with each step. Reaching the heights of the wide, long and solid top board, we slowly make our way to the edge before peeping over to see the blue depths that lurk below. Taking a deep breath, we'll leap into the air seemly weightless for a moment, before gravity kicks in and launches us into the cold blue depths.

Mop our brow and pour us a drink! It's only another sunny retro movie weekend!
Like an over excited weekender heading to the nearest beach , we find ourselves faced with another few days of adventure, comedy and perhaps a bit or romance as we set up base in the sand for another retro movie extravaganza! With sandy sandwiches and our trusty bucket and spade, we'll wind away the sunny afternoon with the gentle breeze and sound of the crashing waves. With more layers of sun cream on than there are layers on a gob stopper, we'll soak up some Sun before dashing the the ice cream van to grab more treats than we know we probably should. Good times.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Cakes on a plane! It's the weekend...again?!
Preheating the oven to a steaming 180 degrees, we'll be donning our trusty aprons with battle scars from previous attempts as we get busy measuring, mixing, cracking and greasing our way to cakey goodness. We'll safely leave on the side to cool before spreading a much icing on as it each layer can handle, as we prepare our creation for its candle laden ceremony where it will make even the wildest dreams come true with one single puff.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Alphabetti Spaghetti! Looks like the Weekend to me!
Once Upon a cloudy sky. Amongst a thick hazy Forrest, sat hunched over on a hollowed out log, gazing wearily over a steaming boggy marsh. Let us be your be-shaggled woodland Troll as we dribble, droll and blow snot bubbles in anticipation of something slimy and squidgy or boney and crunchy to eat. We'll be poised and ready to pounce onto some cinematic greatness, we'll prepare our nasty nosh with herbs and sprinkles of movie magic before we devoir the whole thing in one single gulp and belch out some celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!
