The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 93
Thar she blows! It can only be the Weekend!
So like a mid eighteenth century Whaling vessel let us be your sea hardened, weather beaten, bearded captain with a stern but fair persona. As we sail hard heartedly across vast oceans of retro movie mayhem, we'll peer one eyed through our brass telescope for the elusive humped back of cinematic greatness before we thrust our long and rusty harpoons into the salty meaty flesh of celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

So as we stand ever so magnificently in the centre of a 20 X 20 Wrestling ring shimmering in our sequined spandex tights. Let us be your greased up, mullet headed, 80âs pro wrestler. As we prepare to lay the smack down on retro movie mayhem. Weâll stomp mud holes and walk them dry all over cinematic greatness before hitting our glorious finishing move we like to call celluloid wonder, for the three count and the victory. Oooooh yeah!

Truly outrageous news.... There's a Jem And The Holograms movie on the way! #jemthemovie
All of glitter and gold filled dreams just came true!
We'd been given a nod by our friends at Hasbro that some BIG Jem news was on the way and here it is....
Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon M. Chu and Paranormal Activity producer Jason Blum announced via YouTube that they're working on modern day, live action reinvention of the 1980s Hasbro classic....
For the film, the trio are aiming to crowd-source crucial elements from casting to costume design. 'It's sort of like Kickstarter,' says Mr Chu, 'but instead of asking for your money, we're asking for your creativity.'
Fans can upload videos and photos to YouTube or Tumblr explaining what they love best about the original Jem with the hashtag #JemTheMovie.
PLUS They're put out an open casting call, asking people who can sing, dance and act to upload a two-minute video showcasing their talents for a chance to be involved.

Grab your bill and tip well as we you marvel in our classic 80s celluloid wonder.

Certainly one of the greatest chick flicks of the 90's, Clueless too the world by storm as we entered the weird and wonderful world of Cher, Tai and Dionne. This cult classic was a lively adaptation of 1816 Jane Austen novel 'Emma' and featured the lives of the ultra-rich at Beverly Hills high school.
