The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 39!
Tony the Frosties Tiger! let the weekend begin!
So like your the toy box of childhood dreams stuffed to the edges with bric-a-brac - little green army men, fuzzy felts and a raggedy teddy bear with one eye, let us sift through the jumble of stickle bricks, multi-coloured marbles and the wobbly dog on wheels to bring you eagle eyed retro movie action, springy masses of cinematic greatness and kaleidoscopic celluloid wonderment!
Have a happy retro weekend :-)

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Home Alone
Being such huuuuge fans of retro movies, we of course love nothing more than to kick back in our very own Home Alone T-Shirts, put our feet up and watch one of our all time favourite kids films Home Alone.
Every kid wanted to be him, cheeky, lovable, and the ability to effortlessly get one over any meddling adult who put him to the test. To help spread the Home Alone love, we thought we would share some fab little facts we recently discovered out this cult kids film. Take a peek!
Kevin's classic retro toy The Talkboy was originally created as a non-working prop for use in the film. Later in 1993 it was made into a retail version, brought on by a massive letter-writing campaign by young fans of the film who wanted the real thing.
John Candy amazingly filmed his part in just 1 day, a very long 23-hour day that is! The story about having once forgotten his son at a funeral home was entirely improvised. His part is obviously inspired by the character he played in Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
Daniel Stern agreed to have the tarantula put on his face for exactly one take. He had to mime screaming because the noise would have scared the spider, and the scream was dubbed in later.
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 38!
Aunt Bessieâs Roasters! Weekend frolics are up on us!
So like a band of sea weary, storm weathered pirates searching in the wide open blue sea aboard a masterful galleon for riches beyond their very desires, let us be your haggard but slightly dashing, bearded, one eyed, wooden legged, hook for a hand captain, as we navigate you through storms of awesome movie magnitude, tidal waves of retro cinematic colossusness and do battle with sea beasties of gargantuan celluloid magic.
Have a happy retro weekend :-)
