The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 128
Toasted marshmallows! It's only the bloomin weekend!
Setting up camp in a picturesque clearing in the deep Canadian woods, we'll be pitching out retro movie canvas just as the light begins to fade. We'll hustle a fire together and sit looking over the flickering flames as we ponder all the cinematic greatness before zipping up for the night and dreaming of what possible greatness we could capture onto celluloid wonder in the next light.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Cheese and crackers! Is it really the weekend. Let's celebrate in style!
With all the finest of guests adorning some of the very classiest attire, we'll schmooze our way around the cocktail party, chatting to some of the great and good of the local area.
Heading to the bar, we'll check our pocket watch and adjust our tie before tipping the bar keep for his hard work and experience in creating our latest creation of only the finest spirits and mixers. We'll sip our drink slowly before heading to the floor to capture even more of the nights greatness like a camera capturing a movies celluloid magic.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Cheese and crackers! It's only the weekend again!
Like like back in the day in the good old US or A, the weekend sees us cruising our way to the Drive In cinema with our oh-so lucky date for the night. We'll pick up our big box of popcorn and soda on the way to finding our spot in front of the big and bright screen that will soon whisk us off to far and distant lands with it's celluloid wonder and tinny sounding speakers.
Have a happy retro weekend!

2) Home Alone: In the scene where chief bad guy played by Joe Pesci bites Kevin's finger, he actually bit harder than expected and left Macaulay with a scar he has to this day.
