The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 160
Holy sweet potato! It's only gone and been the weekend again!
Like a keen armature artists with a fresh new canvas and set of paints, we find ourselves with nothing but inspiration in front of us and a whole world of possibilities. Carefully selecting the right brush, the right colours and techniques, we'll create something which will capture our imagination and with each brush stroke become something more magnificent like a classic thriller slowly revealing its plot before our eyes. Taking pride of place on our wall, our creation will sit proud for all to see and aim to only inspire and encourage all future work to come.
Have a happy retro weekend.

Bubblewrap and boxes! It's the weekend all over again and it's time for another installment of our retro movie rundown!
Like two eager and determined house hunters, we find ourselves searching each and every avenue in the hunt for that perfect property that will tick all the right boxes, give us that warm feeling and become our brand a brand new home. We'll fill it with all our worldly possessions, set everything just so and capture the whole adventure onto celluloid wonder ready to rediscover in years to come and say....look how young we looked!
Have a happy retro weekend.

Soap and water! It's only the weekend....again??
Like a keen car enthusiast takes care of their pride and joy, we're taking care of this weekend's retro movies. With our trusty buckets, mitts and hose, we'll wash away all the weeks grime and woe as we polish up the paint, buff out the shine before standing back to admire our handy work like a classic story trapped in celluloid wonder. We'll fire up the cylinders and drive swiftly through the back road channels, gazing at the movie masterpieces as we pass before locking ourselves safely away and enjoying the small hours of the night with just the light flicker from the screen.
Have a happy retro weekend!

10 Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About… Star Trek!
Calling all you Star Trek fans!! We've just drummed up a little treat for you to get stuck into!
Like many fans in the land, we LOVE getting to dig our way into the weird and wonderful worlds of some of our very favourite movies and TV shows which is why we've been busting out some amazing 10 Things You (Probably) Didnât Know About⦠posts over our long and varied blogging career.
Well! Inspired by some of our very latest Star Trek T-Shirts, we decided to crack on with some serious research and share some of our latest discoveries of this iconic series with you guys.
Sit back and enjoy our 10 Things You (Probably) Didnât Know About⦠Star Trek!
1 - The late Leonard Nimoy is the only actor to appear in all 80s episodes (including the pilot!) of the original series. Legend!
2 - The actor who played "Scotty" James Doohan took part in D-Day during WW2....and was shot six times by 'friendly' fire! Although often covered, you can sometimes spot his missing finger which was a sad result of his wounds.
