The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 179
Great wall of China! Another weekend? Sure why not!
Like an eagerly anticipating nominee for a big award, we find ourselves once again faced with a huge amount of opportunity before us like a long list of top retro films. A single decision will determine a great expanse of our lives (usually 90-120 minutes) and could just quite possibly take us to far and distant lands with some of the most colourful characters ever to hit the screen. We'll sit patently with a belly full of butterflies before the big title is revealed and the fate of our evenings will be defined.
Have a happy retro weekend!

TruffleShuffle Takes A Trip To The Harry Potter Studios!
For those of you who perhaps don't know a whole lot about the people at TruffleShuffle, we're all HUGE Harry Potter fans! Getting to think up, design and ultimately create our very own exclusive and official range of Harry Potter clothing is somewhat of a real dream and accomplishment for us. Seeing other fans loving them too is just about as cool as it gets too!
As such big fans of this wizardry phenomenon, naturally the films have been a massive part of our movie going lives and have more than secured their place in our DVD collections forever.
Just a few days ago now, this lucky TruffleShuffler had the chance to take a trip to the very place where a huge part of these spectacular films were created and visit the Warner Bros. Studio - The Making of Harry Potter Tour!
To give you a glimpse of what went down and what there is to see, we thought e would pop something together on our blog you you can all take a quick peep at some of the snaps I managed to capture along the way - Those of you who want to visit yourself with box fresh eyes, you might want to look away now.
From the first glimpse of the entrance, we could tell this place would be special. From the get go you're treated to one of the flying Ford Anglias that feature in The Chamber of Secrets hanging from the rafters and the super cool centerpiece from Hogwarts Astronomy Tower...
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? Wellâ¦. it turns out a whoooooole lot.
Take a peep at some of our top films to watch out for in 2016â¦.
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.
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 178
Land ahoy! It's the ruddy weekend again! Must be time for the first Retro Movie Rundown of 2016!
Like an amateur and eager model boat enthusiast, we find ourselves on the banks of our local marine pond with our trusty craft, batteries full of charge and a head full of excitement. We'll get the propellers spinning to simply mind-boggling speeds as we skip and dance our way around the pond surface. Twisting and turning like a gazelle looking to out run a Cheetah, we'll hum along until our time is up and our power is all used up....which is hopefully somewhere near the edge.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Our Top Films Turning 20 in 2016!
With another year of epic films gone and certainly plenty in the year ahead to look forward to, we thought we would take a quick trip down memory lane and remember some pretty familiar films that will be turning a cool 20 years old! Scary we know.
Now, some of these might shock, amaze or perhaps just make you realise how old things (and you are). We certainly fall in the latter category!
So! Take a little trip down memory lane with us and take a peep at some of our favourite films that were released way back in 1996 which is weirdly not only ten years ago despite what our mind like to make us think sometimes. Enjoy!
