The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 241

Bluebells and sunny spells! Another retro movie weekend is here which means.... time for some retro movie goodness!

Setting sail into the vast infinity of the deep blue sea, we find ourselves at the simple beginnings of what could quite be the journey of a lifetime. With ration sacks bulging and water receptacles sealed and tight, we slowly begin to drift away from the certainty of the land as we aim our craft into the unknown to take on all that may lay before us. Will we find old and forgotten lands? Will we just end up going in a circle and end up where we began? Let's find out!

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown... Crimbo Special!

In the words of Noddy Holder from Slade....it's CHRIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAS! Well... almost.

With the shopping done (at last!), the family all organised and the tree nicely glistening in the corner, it seems Christmas is here again for another year. What joy! With nothing to do but eat, drink and be merry (what washing up?), we'll spread our Christmas cheer for all to see as we welcome one and all to tuck into our festive feast. With a clinking of glass, a scraping or knife and the snap of a cracker, another year will float past into the night as we ready ourselves for another year ahead. Merry Christmas!

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 147

Soap and water! It's only the weekend....again??

Like a keen car enthusiast takes care of their pride and joy, we're taking care of this weekend's retro movies. With our trusty buckets, mitts and hose, we'll wash away all the weeks grime and woe as we polish up the paint, buff out the shine before standing back to admire our handy work like a classic story trapped in celluloid wonder. We'll fire up the cylinders and drive swiftly through the back road channels, gazing at the movie masterpieces as we pass before locking ourselves safely away and enjoying the small hours of the night with just the light flicker from the screen.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Great Barrier Reef! It's the weekend so soon?! Must be time for another Retro Movie Rundown then huh!

Like an eager and oh-so clever Octopus working it's way around the coral, we're using our cunning and many talents to hunt down some of the coolest and most retro films ever. We'll silently maneuver our way around the brightly coloured other worldly looking plants and rock before targeting in one our unsuspecting prey, launching quick as a flash and grabbing into our favourite films with all eight arms ready to feed our ever-growing hunger for 80s and 90s awesomeness.

Have a happy retro weekend!
