AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Kingsman: The Secret Service.  Colin Firth, Matthew Vaughn, and Samuel L. Jackson ought to come together to bring you a fantastic Uber-Bond spy film, but we'll let you know if they pull it off.  Is this worth seeing, or should you break down and see 50 Shades? We'll also answer listener questions,...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Jupiter Ascending.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Horrible Bosses 2 and Foxcatcher. Expectations for Horrible Bosses 2 will rightfully be all over the place, but Foxcatcher has managed a lot of interesting reactions from festival screenings.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Nightcrawler and Horns.  The Halloween season is a little different this year, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Daniel Radcliffe not only aren't names you're used to associating with the holiday, but they don't play characters that seem like the run of the mill scarers either. But, do these movies have anyt...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review John Wick. Coming out of nowhere, from a screenwriter with very little under his belt, and a director you've never heard of, John Wick has shot out of the gates and landed with an 86% Freshness rating on RottenTomatoes.com. That's a new level of movie-world unexpectedness for the Keanu Reeves actio...

The Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf war film hit this weekend, and we'll let you know if it's worth your time.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The Judge.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Gone Girl, The Equalizer, and The Boxtrolls.
