"They mostly come out at night, mostly" Hey hey tartan feature folk John here, so the other night I went to see "Aliens: The Directors cut" in the IMAX. First off I love this movie, it's my 2nd favorite movie of all time (the first is ghostbusters) I'm not lying when I say it's eye watering on the IMAX.

Attitude and Ideas: Year Zero Tartan Features 2017 Review “Great art always comes from attitude and ideas” so said the Gang of Four. This is also true of film but with the important addition of tenacity. The Cambridge dictionary defines tenacity as ”the determination to continue what you are doing” Ideas alone are just not enough when making, promoting and distributing independent films on your own – something we learned when we started in 2013. Attitude is great if you have

Heyohhhhh! John here, so last night I went to see "The Road to civil war: marvel renascence". No it had nothing to do with the up and coming Marvel "Civil War" movie. The documentary directed by Philippe Guedj and Philippe Roure , is described by the Frenchmen as a letter of love. Both these guys grew up reading comic books and when they found out there was a marvel story that had not been told they jumped on it. The documentary covers the fall and rise of Marvel, some peop
