10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About…Edward Scissorhands
We're back with another little hop, skip and jump into the inner workings and behind these scenes action of another classic film!
This time, we've been looking into some amazing facts from none other than 1990, Johnny Depp classic Edward Scissorhands!
Possibly one of Depp's best performances, this cult icon really showed us his amazing skill to portray so many emotions using as fewer words as a movie dares. Simply amazing stuff! Take a peep at some of our 10 Things You Didn't Know About Edward Scissorhands!
1) According to the director Tim Burton, Edward's suit was made of (among other things) latex, leather, the old sofa in his first apartment and tape.
2) Johnny Depp only says a total of 169 words through the whole film. Easy script or what!

Gin and tonic! Is it the weekend already?!?!
Just like a master cocktail maker, we'll find ourselves looking over the huge list of enticing movie names, picking out a few with just the right ingredients and then setting to work mixing up the array or juices, ice, limes and liqueurs as we shake together the concoction, leaving us with a sweet and strong glass of movie magic. We'll gaze at the wonderful colours and paper umbrellas, not before snapping our wonderful delights to be forever captured onto celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Amazing Thunderbirds Behind the Scenes Piccys!
5....4....3....2....1....Thunderbirds are GO!
We can still remember it now, the opening titles, the excitement of getting to see what the heroes of Tracey Island would be up to next and what catastrophe or evil villain they had to deal with, all taken in their bouncy, puppety stride.
For as long as we can remember, we've been the biggest fans of Thunderbirds along with a whole line of kids from its humble beginnings back on September 30th, 1965 (nearly 49 years ago!).
It had everything, the characters, the gadgets, the cars, the planes and of course....its own Island! Not only that, but at every moment you found yourself trying to spot the strings (which wasn't tricky) and also when they had used someone's hand....probably the tea boy's, but all the while trying to believe it was all real. Simply magical!
Now, hopefully some of these won't act as a spoiler and perhaps young fans eyes should look away, but we've been busy digging out some of our favourite pictures of the creative geniuses putting together this iconic show for you all to see. Take a peep at our amazing 'string' of classic behind the plasti-scenes pictures (not even sorry) :) Enjoy!

Hey You Guys! Exclusive New Goonies T-Shirts Now In...
If like us you were born in one of the best decades ever (not that we're biased of course), you fell instantly in love with Mikey, Chunk, Mouth and Data when they hit the scene and took us on one of the best adventures ever way back in 1985.
Since the very first car chase scene and introductions to these iconic characters, we were hooked. We all had our favourites and all wanted to go for a quick explore in the loft to see what treasure we could find to start our very own adventures. Who knows what's up there other then a box of Christmas decorations and and old hoover right?!
