The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 110
Halley's comet! It's the weekend already?!
Like a proud owner of a shiny new soft top convertible, we'll be donning the driving gloves and sunglasses as we rev up our smooth engine and glide our way through the twisting and turning country roads with the wind in our hair in search for even more retro cinematic greatness and stopping only to gasp at the celluloid wonder they discover on the way.
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 109
Hulkamania! It must be the weekend!
So on a dewy wet morning amongst the weeds on the patio of an older couples cottage, let us be your slimy velocity challenged invertebrate as we sluggishly drag ourselves across paving slabs of retro movie magic. We'll slowly devour your prize petunias with cinematic gusto before we succumb to the ever looming threat of the giant welly that is celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Awesome Behind The Scenes Jaws Piccys To Sink Your Teeth Into...
We can still remember it now. Curled up on the sofa, desperately trying to grab as many pillows as we could get our hands on to hide behind, only peeping through the cracks in our fingers to catch a glimpse and quickly back again. This of course was our first 1975 classic Jaws experience and...well... we loved it!
Every once in a while a film comes along that totally changes the game, whether it's with ultra cool new revolutionary special effects, amazing acting performances, or perhaps all out shocking storylines we'll never forget. These films quickly go down in history and earn themselves the title of a classic or perhaps a retro movie icon, Jaws is certainly one of these films!
Directed by movie legend Steven Spielberg, Jaws (based on the books) follows the story of a small island community called Amity which quickly becomes the hunting ground of a huuge (no really...huge!) Great White Shark. After some odd goings on and an attack on a local boy, the mother of the latest victim put a large bounty on the sea beast's head which soon sends would-be shark hunters on the case to catch their prize, but this is only the start of the Sharks feeding frenzy....

Always wanting to have a little nosy into some of our favourite films, we've been doing a little swimming around the depths of the internet and have discovered some simply amazing behind the scenes shots of the great beast itself and of course the iconic cast and crew. Take a peep at some of our favourite snaps and perhaps put some of those deep blue sea fears to bed :)

Loving Some Retro Inspired Phone-tography!
Hello internet travelers!
Here at Truffle Towers we love pretty much anything old school! Whether it be classic characters, films, gadgets and what not, nothing beats the first game console you had, the first phone you could call your own or even that special toy you had growing up that will always have a place in your hearts somewhere.
Alas! Don't let this fool you though, we're still as techie and geeky as they come and love nothing more than getting stuck into the latest gizmos and TV shows....but what happens when these two worlds collide?
Well! With the help of his trusty smart phone, French photographer François Dourlen has done just this and is able to blend the real world with the scripted one by superimposing television and film characters into his surroundings. Know when we mean? Take a peep below for some of our favourite....
Like…Clueless is Totally 19 years old Today! So where are they now?
Can you believe it! The film that gave us some of the most classic 90s quotes, clothing, names and of course moments turns 19 years old TODAY!
As hard....or perhaps just scary as it is to think, this 90s retro icon was released back in 1995 in the US of A which to us seems like just a few years ago, turns out to be nearly passing the two decades ago mark! EEEP!
So we all know far too much to be healthy about this classic film, but do you know where some of this amazing cast are today?
We'll, in fairness we sure didn't, so we decided to do a little digging and share with you all what we found during out exploration.
Sit back, relax and take a look at our Clueless....
Where are they now?
