Call Dr Legg it has to be the blinking Weekend!

So as we dramatically slow motion walk towards our fighter jet, helmet in one hand. So we can coolly but casually adjust our aviator shades let us be your heroic, slick back haired, F-16 Tom-Cat Pilot. As we hit a montage of us high fiving our wingman for retro movie greatness, we’ll take off and tail spin for cinematic awesomeness before an aerial assault of celluloid magnificence.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Anyone who's anyone has seen and LOVED the classic Jurassic Park (no rhyme intended) movies from back in our youth...or what we like to call the glory days of films. Not that we're biased at all!

These films are still some of our all-time favourites and we're pretty sure will still be as much loved by us when we're kicking it in the nursing homes as they were back when we thought the Sega was the pinnacle of gaming. Actually we kind of still do :)

Because of recent troubles with the Pirates of the Caribbean film, which is being delayed while writers wrestle with the screenplay, it seems this has created some time and space for Colin Trevorrow, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver to set to work on the next Jurassic Park script! Woop!

But it's back with a twist! Yep Universal Pictures has announced the next instalment will carry the title of Jurassic Word instead of its classic title. New title or not, this film comes our way a whopping 14 years after the last release, Jurassic Park III, and 22 years after the original in 1993.

Jurassic World will hit cinemas in June 2015 and while Steven Spielberg will sadly not be directing, he'll be an executive producer so something to hold onto there. The film’s new 2015 release comes in a pretty darn competitive year for blockbuster films too, with the new Batman-Superman combo film, the next installment of the Star Wars franchise from Disney and of course the new Avengers: Age of Ultron all due for release. What a year!

Now in just hearing that news, you're probably feeling like a bit of a dinosaur already huh...you're not alone! We couldn't believe our eyes and ears when we discovered that  amazing 20 years ago (ahh stop mentioning it!) Jurassic Park first hit our screens and roared it's way into our hearts, minds and collection.

Now some movies are well known, some are huge, and a select few are just monstrous! Jurassic Park certainly falls in this latter category as it blitzed all other competition at the time and was a simply mammoth success leaving it's muddy footprint in the movie world forever (spotted the dino references yet? Keep up!).

For those not in the know, the story follows a select crew as they visit a remote island where a wealthy entrepreneurs' scientists have begun breeding dinosaurs from the stored blood in preserved insects. Harmless fun so far right? One of the parks' own workers (the annoying geeky guy) attempts to steal the dinosaur embryos for his own gain, and has to shut down critical security systems in the process, essentially allowing all the creatures to escape and create havoc over the entire island! It's then a fight for survival.

Still want to know more? Check out some cool Jurassic Park facts we recently found that you might not have known...

Bears in jumpers! Is it the weekend?

So, as the sun descends over the dusty planes of old wild west, where herds of cattle graze freely on the lush vegetation, let us be your band of sun-kissed, dirt covered cowboys as we attempt to drive this cattle train over fields of retro movie greatness, across rivers of mega cinematic awesomeness and through valleys of celluloid amazement. Yeeehaw!

Have a happy retro weekend :-)
