The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 82!
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!

What the Dickens! The weekend is here!
So in a dense tropical forest a mere sixty five point five million years ago. During the Cretaceous period amongst the fauna and flora of giant rich wild green conifers and blooming white magnolia's. Let us be your magnificent three horned beast the Triceratops as we stomp triumphantly around for mega cinematic greatness forage for retro movie awesomeness and fight off a Tyrannosaurus Rex for celluloid glory.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Skinny Pete and Badger too! It has to be the Weekend!
So, deep beneath the oceans swell amongst the blue and yellow angel fish who swim merrily among the coral and seaweed, where lies the wreckage of the old Hispaniola. Deep inside lurks a devilishly curious octopus who's made its self at home. Intriguingly let us be your bikini-shell clad mermaid as we search for shiny pearls of movie greatness, look under pebbles for retro cinematic awesomeness and chase orange and white clown fish for celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend! :-)
