Today (on the 7th June 1985) one of my all time favourite 80s kids adventure films was first released. Why is it one of my favourites?  Well.... 80’s bad guys Pirates, adventure, BMX’s, laughs or for a start plus it was a story that seemed totally possible when I was a kid.

After seeming this film I’d raid my Gran’s attic desperately searching for a secret hidden clue that would lead my friends and I on an amazing adventure just like the one in The Goonies.  By the way 28 years later, nothing has changed. So with that in mind why don’t I share some hidden gems with you. Here’s five thing you may not have known about this timeless 80’s Pirate adventure flick. Enjoy!

1) Willy’s Secret Pirate Ship

One-Eyed Willie’s pirate ship was a real set that was built to look like Errol Flynn’s ship in The Sea Hawk. While it was being constructed, the kids were not allowed to see it; the ship was hidden on another set behind tarps. Donner was hoping to get a real reaction from the cast for their first take seeing Willie’s ship, but when he rolled the camera and revealed it, the whole gang was so shocked by the sight that they started cursing up a storm, and the scene had to be re-shot. Once production wrapped, the crew tried to find someone who would take the ship, but no one wanted it, and the entire set was scrapped.

2) Sloth wasn’t so Super

We recently ran a literature themed Friday Competition on our Facebookpage to celebrate the arrival of our new Out Of Print T-Shirtsand the response we got was amazing. The question was....

‘If you could create a film from any book that hasn't already had one made, what would it be and WHY?'

We had hundreds of suggestions: some old, some new and some a little strange – The Dictionary and The Phone Book?!! Us bookworms couldn't let this fantastic opportunity go to waste and so we decided to create our very own TruffleShuffle Reading List and thought we would share it with you.

We have something for everyone – funny, sad, horror, thriller, fairy-tale; sadly, we couldn't list them all but there were some firm favourites suggested numerous times and some great write ups, see if any take your fancy!

See if yours made the must read list and see what others have to suggest, our Kindles are now fully loaded with literary delights! :-)

With 9 mentions the book that came out top (and we can't believe we haven't read!) is:

Great news for all you Transformer fans!

The epic Michael Bay movie series is set to hit our screens once again with number 4 next year (June 29, 2014), but this time the bots have been give more than a lick of paint!

Each character as been given an amazing 'transformation' - see what we did, and are looking as ready for business as ever with some million dollar exotics taking the stage and some classic American muscle to back them up.

True hero of the Primes, Optimus will be taking on a slightly more modern look with this custom-built Western Star truck that still adorns the classic flame decals for his iconic look. It was thought that his older look was slightly dated for the new flick but what do you think?

As for the rest of the crew, Bumblebee has taken a look from the past and will now be rocking a classic 1967 Camaro in his signature black and yellow uniform. A slighly older cool look, we love this as it reminds us of some amazing car scenes in classic 70s films. Take a peep!
