Air tanks and flippers! It's time for another retro movie filled weekend.

Like an experienced and battle scarred shark diver, we find ourselves dipping our feet once again into troublesome water full of majestic and wild beasts. After checking all our gear and steadying our nerves, we'll push off and dive down into the big blue, home to our creatures of interest. With a perfect balance of tranquillity and awe-inspiring power, we'll swim with some of the most feared and respected beings on the planet as they quietly and curiously inspect our presence.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Sky at night! It's only the weekend!

With our trusty CE sunglasses making us look cooler than ever, we'll gaze up at our big, bright burning star as we watch the cold dusty moon slowly creep it's way across into view. We'll watch as the sky starts to darken and mouths start to widen before reaching for our ever ready cameras and capturing this moment in astronomy forever onto celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Macaulay Culkin's scream! It's only the weekend already!

With a house rigged up to the teeth with traps, spikes, ice and the odd red hot handle, we're ready and waiting for the weekend to hit and bring with is all the mischief that's been building up during the last school week. We'll let the paint cans fly, our BB gun fire and spiders free as we take on all that the weekend can throw at us while doing our best to take in all the celluloid wonder that it brings with it.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Mr Cadbury’s Parrot! Weekend time is here again already?!

So amongst the breaking waves off the Hawaiian coastline.  Let us be your bronzed, Bermuda short clad surfing legend as with grace and ease we ride the waves of mega movie awesomeness, we’ll hang ten for cinematic greatness and glide through the curve of a barrel before wiping out with celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro Weekend!

Calling all fans of The Wizard Of Oz - have we got the perfect accessory for you!

Never mind witches wands and brave lions, designer Dominic Wilcox has decided to use GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to create the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

Just like Dorothy's ruby slippers - when she clicked them together three times, they returned her safely home to Kansas - these new super shoes have an inbuilt compass and flashing arrows in the left shoe to guide the wearer, and the right show has a gauge to measure how far the walker still has to go!

British designer Dominic Wilcox states the “No Place Like Home GPS Shoes”are programmed to guide you back to your abode “no matter where you are in the world.”

Sadly, the technology is currently wired into a single pair of bespoke leather shoes and, as such, are just a concept. Still, we can dream :-)
