Chilli and rice! It's another extra long retro movie filled weekend?! Well....if we must!

So like one of the most talented and determined ice sculptors in the land, we find ourselves faced with a big block pure and clean ice acting as our blank canvas. With our mind racing with the possibilities, we'll begin to chip and chisel away at the super cooled goodness as we create one of our finest pieces. We'll rub and scrape our work into everything we imagined fully in the knowledge of it's impending doom. While it might melt and disappear in front of our eyes like each and every retro movie weekend, what will remain are the memories and experience of what once was. So how will you shape your ice?

Have a happy retro weekend!

We're back again folks! Yep every once in a little while we dive head-first into a fact finding mission as we pick out one of our favourite things to uncover and share on our little corner of the internet. Think of it as like school but only learning stuff you really want to know, and with less tests.

This time we're taking a trip back to Andy's bedroom back in 1995 as we sniff out some amazing and perhaps little known facts about the movie masterpiece Toy Story!

So! Without further ado, sit back and enjoy some of out top Toy Story facts you didn't not know before you now know....wait what?

1.The first movie was originally supposed to be called “You Are A Toy.” Not sure it has the same ring to it huh.

2. Toy Story 2 is one of just three Disney movies to win a Golden Globe for Best Picture. The other two are Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. Classics!

Oh how our geeky senses are trembling! With the release of the action-packed new Captain America film Civil War just a few days away *eeeeeep!*, Truffle Towers is a buzz with anticipation of the epic new addition to our already quickly growing superhero movie faves and it's not hard to see why.

Packed with more superheroes than a kid's toy box, this amazing new adventure is sure to feed even the most hungry hero lover out there with amazing special effects, combat and some good old fashioned hero cheesiness. What's not to love right?

So what's it all about?

This big new adventure finds Captain America leading an Avengers team that includes Iron Man, Black Widow, Falcon, Winter Soldier, War Machine, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man and Spider-Man. Following a major attack which results in huge collateral damage and the loss of civilian lives, political pressure mounts as the government seeks more accountability and regulation on their actions.

This sparks a divide in the Avengers with The Captain seeking to remain free from such control and the usually wayward rogue Iron Man who believes the team should work with the officials. Members of the team pick a side and are forced to fight for what they believe. That can only go well...

See for yourself! Take a peep at this official trailer for a glimpse at the action....

Perhaps one of theeee biggest shows to hit our screen in recent years in both popularity and all out budget, effects and awesomeness (which is a real word.....maybe), Game of Thrones has become so much more than another series you should probably set your telly to record, it's become a screening event!

With more goings on than a Pokemon speed dating night, Game of Thrones gives us a weekly healthy dose of drama, fighting, power struggles, politics, history *ahem* and suspense all with a Dragon or three thrown in for good measure. Basically, it's just about as amazing and complete as things can get.

So what might be in store for season 6??

Well....following the frankly pretty shocking goings on of the end of Season 5, including the fate of Jon Snow at the hands of the Night's Watch, Daenerys’ moment of action at the fighting pits of Meereen, and Cersei’s public shocking humiliation in the streets of King’s Landing, survivors from all parts of Westeros and Essos regroup to press forward towards their uncertain fates. We'll see some pretty familiar faces begin to forge new alliances, while a host of new characters will hit the screen only to challenge the balance of power throughout the kingdoms. Pretty much business as usual then huh.

Take a peep at this little trailer for some insight into the next chapter...

Tickle my brain and sharpen my pencil! It's only another retro movie filled weekend!

So like one of the top local quiz teams who are fully clued up and ready to rock, we find ourselves once again sat, ready in anticipation for an evening of the unknown challenges await us. We'll fend off even the most strange of far afield questions like a top retro movie hero does their enemies before sitting back to enjoy a brief moment after a job well done. Will we be victorious? Only time will tell....but first let's get another round in.

Have a happy retro weekend!
