The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 230

Great volcano! Another weekend, another time for retro movie rundown!

With the trees blowing and the tops of puddles shuffling, the cold winter winds are finally here. Braving the elements, we'll grab our trusty, if not sometimes tangled kite and head for the hills. With a might leap, we'll throw our plastic hero up into the... well not clouds but pretty high. Tugging at the lifeline of string, we'll watch our kite dance, duck and dive in the air before stopping to capture this moment forever on celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 229

Sweet honey and pancakes! Must be time for another retro movie weekend!

With a swish and a swoosh, we're making quick work of the almost herculean task of freshly painting a black canvas of a room (we said almost). Starting at one corner, we'll watch the fresh, bright new colour explode outwards with each new stroke of the brush as we breathe a whole new character to a once tired and uninspiring space. With the smell of newness and change in the air, we'll step back from our work to admire our new creation before taking a moment to capture our achievements onto celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 203

Cheese and crackers! It's only another retro movie weekend full of nostalgia, fun and plenty of dodgy effects! Yep....believe it.

In a world of ever increasing screen revolutions, gigidybits, brandywidths and not forgetting those RAMs.....whatever they are, we find ourselves looking back to the past to remember the simpler times where you simply knocked on a door, popped outside to see who was 'out' and perhaps...for the braver of people, rang the landline *shiver*. Back then life wasn't through a profile or being constantly captured for people to see (thankfully!) but instead we created our very own fun. Invented games in the street, hung out in the coolest parents house (who would let us) and of course....wreaked havoc! Good times.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 196

Chicken in a basket! It's another retro movie filled weekend again? So soon? But how the....?

Like a super keen runner who has been in the depths of a training routine for longer than they can remember, we find ourselves just days away from our goal....the next local 10k run. We've worked hard, been rained on, and blown from left to right by the great British Spring weather and now it's the real challenge. Will we beat our previous efforts? Will we be overtaken again by the IT guy who thought training was only something that happened on the railways? Only time, will tell.

Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 182

Great balls of fire! Another weekend, another amazing chance to catch some top retro films!

Trekking our way through the jungle like a khaki wearing explorer, we find ourselves totally and completely surrounded with classic movie wilderness. Each turn will lead to previously unseen territory where we could learn more around the worth around us, find new lands and discover something completely new. Like this weekend's top picks for retro goodness, there are no wrong turns, just new adventures.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Our Top Films To Watch in 2016!

Can you believe it's time for another one of these?! Each year just flies past quicker than the last, but each year we gain even more amazing films to add to our collection and we sure hope the fun never ends!

As big movie lovers (does our huge range of Movie Merchandise make that pretty obvious? Darn!) we really love getting to see some of the best characters ever created once again hit the big screen in always bigger, more exciting and of course more and more detailed and realistic effects than ever before.

2016 is quickly shaping up to be yet another amazing year with some really breath taking and massively anticipated films being released into the wild. So what can we expect from 2016? Well…. it turns out a whoooooole lot.

Take a peep at some of our top films to watch out for in 2016….

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Pretty much as good as life gets! Certainly not your average action-packed superhero film (if there is such a thing?), 2016 will of course bring us this huuuugely anticipated and debated Batman v Superman film! Now those of you who caught the epic 2013 Man of Steel would have perhaps noticed just how much carnage Superman caused, well it seems this sort of chaos certainly caught the eye of Batman himself. Fearing Superman may be out of control, Batman steps in to put it to a stop causing mankind to begin to decide just what sort of hero has a place in our world. With a new and very real threat from Lex Luthor, can Superman and Batman put aside their differences to save the world once again? - Coming March 25th.
