The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 246
Great white Shark! Another retro movie weekend has appeared and we're here to take it on like a monster from the depths!
Like one of the biggest, oldest and battle-scared Sharks roaming the deep blue, we find ourselves yet again on the hunt for the best and most rewarding retro movies. Sensing even the smallest of action, movement and drama, we'll begin to home in on our next VHS victim (showing our age) as we brace to take them on in style with a leap and a splash. Bellies full of retro awesomeness, we will return to the depths until next time.
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 246
Pinch my arm and slap my knee! Another classic retro movie weekend is here and we're pretty gosh darn excited!
Working away like a wild and determined Beaver, we find ourselves racing the clock to collect all the materials and build something bigger and better than anything before it. Chomping, dragging and swimming our way to dam glory, we'll work night and day to create something we can be proud of that will show the world what a small but eager creature can do before capturing our masterpiece on celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Classic Retro Dads - Where are They Now?
As you maaaay or may not (perhaps!) or spotted, Father's Day 2017 edition is fast approaching and things here at Truffle Towers are starting to get pretty dad-tastic!
With loads of us franticly searching the shops and the cyberweb for the newest, coolest and most perfectest Father's Day Gifts in all the land to really spoil our old man this year, it's safe to say we've had the dad word spinning in our brains. Inspired by all the dad talk and goings on, we thought we would take some time to look back at some of our favourite dads (we've said dad to much already huh) from the big and small screens, see what they've been up to and perhaps find out where they are now.
Let's jump in!
Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery) - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Professor of medieval literature, expert on Grail lore, the father of archaeologist Indiana Jones, we're pretty sure most people will know and love Jones Sr. Somewhat of a .....difficult so and so, it's hard to imagine anyone other than professional Scotsman Sean Connery donning his trusty hat and snatching his faithful umbrella. Now, we're not saying him and Indie had the best father and son relationship to start with, but it's safe to say their adventures together sure bring them closer and all with a touch of whit and good old fashioned competition.
So, what's he be up to? Turns out.... A LOT! Starring in such films as (deep breath); The Hunt for Red October, Just Cause, The Rock, Entrapment, and Finding Forrester. Not bed eh! It's safe to say Sean has had a very fruitful career and is certainly more than a household name. Retired from the big screen, he is currently living in Kranidi, Greece where he can spend time with family and friends including fellow movie star Michael Caine.

Feeling the heat like a dog in front of a roaring fire, we find ourselves panting away the day as we beaver away, creating the most classic, cool and funky creations we possible can. With the fans blowing side to side sending paper everywhere like an impatient child, we'll remain calm, collected and determined to finish the task at hand with the help from ice cool drinks, summer songs and our unwavering desire to be awesome!
Have a happy retro weekend!

Princess Diana of Themyscira Is Back! Our Top Reasons We're Expecting Wonder Woman To Rock!
Ever since Hollywood took a perhaps.. fanatical interest in the weird and wonderful work of superheroes and the butt-kicking movies from DC and Marvel start to really stream out of the studios (10 superhero films planned between 2016 and 2020 alone!), the world has been crying out for our beloved heroine Wonder Woman to get the screen time she truly deserves. When we first heard the new back in late 2014, we knew our pleas had been heard. We knew this would quickly become something of a big deal and it's not safe to say it truly has!
Taking on this movie was we're sure no easy task with fans all over the world craving some serious Wonder Woman action and nothing but the very best would do.
With so much hype surrounding this latest dive into the superhero world already and the UK release just a few hours away (1st June 2017), we thought we would take some time to give you our personal Top 5 Reasons We're Expecting Wonder Woman To Rock! Enjoy...
The Action...
Any superhero films these days needs a pretty decent amount of action and drama right? We're expecting nothing less than all out war sprinkled with slow-motion shots, strong posses and a splash of Lasso of Truth action.

With the sun beaming down on us, we can almost feel the energy drain from us as we sit back, relax and let the sun beam it's fiery rays all around us. Sipping on a cool glass of our favourite tipple, we watch the beads of water chaise each other down the side of the glass as we take some time to enjoy a well earned long break and some peace and quiet. Mooching indoors for a change of scene, we'll turn on the box to enjoy the weekends top rated retro movie wonders as chosen by us. Enjoy!
