The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 104
Lucha Libre! is it the weekend?
So on the side of a lush green sunny hill amongst the boroughs and beside a few oddly looking trees. Let us be your colony of mischievous wild rabbits as we go bouncing and bounding about for retro movie magic we'll dig many holes looking for the cinematic greatness before we get all tuckered out and curl up in a soft fluffy ball of celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Mamma Mia! 10 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About... Mario!
In honour of the absolutely amazing eighth instalment of the Mario Kart series and our fab new Mario T-Shirts, we have decided to pay tribute to Nintendo's finest icon. As a long time gamer since the NES days myself, I am very proud to present to you '10 things you (probably) didn't know about Mario!'
1 - Mario's first appearance was in the game Donkey Kong but he was originally named Jumpman. Nintendo must have realised their hero was deserving of something better and his name was changed because of an uncanny resemblance to the landlord of Nintendoâs US office, Mario Segale, who had been busy chasing Nintendo for rent money!
2 - Donkey Kong was originally intended to be a Popeye game but Nintendo couldn't secure the rights so had to create their own cast of characters. Popeye was replaced with Mario (or Jumpman), Olive Oyl with Pauline (the damsel in distress) and Bluto with Donkey Kong, a legacy was born!
3 - Mario was originally a carpenter when he appeared in Donkey Kong. Since then he became better known as a plumber but has also been a doctor, kart racer, archaeologist, referee, golfer, tennis star, typing tutor and many others. Has he no ends to his talents!
New Transformers Tees? It's Autobo(u)t Time!

We sure are which is why we just jumped at the chance to get designing our very own and oh-so exclusive Transformers T-Shirts featuring the main man Optimus Prime himself!
.
The film begins after an epic battle that left a great city torn, but with the world saved. As humanity picks up the pieces, a shadowy group reveals itself in an attempt to control the direction of history... while an ancient, powerful new menace sets Earth in its crosshairs. With help from a new cast of humans, Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) and the Autobots rise to meet their most fearsome challenge yet. In an incredible adventure, they are swept up in a war of good and evil, ultimately leading to a climactic battle across the world.
