The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 152
Captain's hat! It's only the bloomin' weekend again!
Boarding passes and passports at the ready, we find ourselves in a departure lounge ready and waiting to be launched to far and distant lands with our fellow passengers. We'll check in our heavy bags before lining up to eagerly board our flight, find our seat and buckle up. We'll pay close attention to the safety briefing like catching a pinnacle moment in a top action film. Just like some of our favourite titles, we'll be quickly blasted into another world where anything is possible and we can escape the low lights of our old lives, if just for a moment.

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 144
Thor's Hammer! It's only the weekend again??!
Like most superheroes in the land, we once again find ourselves donning the Lycra as we prepare ourselves for battle against evil, the forces of nature and of course some pesky weekend boredom. We'll pull our laces up extra tight, adjust our cape before heading off into the sky with lightning speed to face any number of perils while the rest of civilization does their uppermost to capture our heroic deeds onto celluloid wonder for the world to see and unmask our identity.
Have a happy retro weekend!

EXCLUSIVE New David Bowie Live At The Marquee Club T-Shirts!
Calling all you Bowie fans! We've got a real treat for you here. Working hard once again, we've been super busy designing some amazing new Bowie Tees for all you fans out there to snap up and we've come up with a real cracker featuring the place that helped to make Bowie just who he is...The Marquee Club.
.
The Marquee Club is a real legend of the streets of London and has seen a whole host of the biggest names and bands ever to take to the stage. Often defined as "the most important venue in the history of modern pop music", this venue is just about as cool as they come and has seen more styles and genres develop that almost any other.
This iconic stage was first opened back on April the 19th 1958 at 165 Oxford Street, London (now at 90 Wardour Street, Soho). Since then is has seen the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Who, Status Quo, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, Joy Division, The Clash, The Cure, The Police, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Sex Pistols and of course... David Bowie!

80s Classic Flick Labryinth Turns 28 Years Old Today! + Facebook Comp!
Can you believe it! Henson meets Bowie (Jareth) classic Labyrinth was first released in the US today back in 1986! Scary to think!
This cult icon well known for those trousers it's quirky story line and of course classic characters has been a firm favourite for many 80s kids and of course generations after and it's not hard to see why!
Although initially this flick was seen as a commercial hiccup, not even grossing half of it's $25million budget in the cinemas, Labyrinth gained a strong cult following and has been widely known as one of the best films from the 80s ever since.
A staggering 28 tears on (oh how old do we feel!) this film is still going strong in the eyes of many and is certainly still in all of our top lists.
The classic story follows 15 years old Sarah accidentally wishes her baby half-brother, Toby, away to the Goblin King Jareth (David Bowie). Jareth tells Sarah that he will give back her brother if she can solve his super high-tech and oh-so 80s Labyrinth within just thirteen hours. He then whisks them both off to the Labyrinth, leaving Sarah there to start her quest.
She quickly meets Hoggle, a grumpy and obstinate dwarf who initially refuses to help her. Soon after Sarah has trapped herself in an oubliette. Jareth sends Hoggle into the oubliette to free Sarah and sneakily misdirect her back to the beginning of the labyrinth. However, Sarah makes a trade with Hoggle while in the oubliette, and convinces him to take her as far as he can through the Labyrinth instead.
