The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 111
Heavens above! It must be the weekend!
Rising higher and higher by the minute with more and more extensions, wings and rooms, let us be your busy little workers as we tower together box after box and create a fort the likes of which have never been seen. Withstanding attacks from imaginary enemies, great floods and internal power struggles, we'll conquer all on our quest for greatness and capturing even more celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Thar she blows! It can only be the Weekend!
So like a mid eighteenth century Whaling vessel let us be your sea hardened, weather beaten, bearded captain with a stern but fair persona. As we sail hard heartedly across vast oceans of retro movie mayhem, we'll peer one eyed through our brass telescope for the elusive humped back of cinematic greatness before we thrust our long and rusty harpoons into the salty meaty flesh of celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 22!
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah! It smells like the weekend is upon us! After two whole weeks of movie fasting through attempting to paint and decorate the "Olds" house, utilising my man skills of hanging wallpaper, drinking tea and eating biscuits (I recommend a chocolatey digestive) I am fully in the mood for some awesomely 80's movies. So like a rocketship full of retro fuel and nostalgic cinematic glory, strap yourself in tight as we stare up at the man in the moon and wonder if he's really made of cheese before we blast off at supersonic speed into deep dark space.
Have a happy retro weekend :-)
