While September has had no shortage of films to offer, October actually has good-to-great films available for audiences to see... and Venom . The Tom Hardy anti-superhero flick is certainly something to behold, and his committed work isn't bad, but the film leaves a lot to be desired. Meanwhile, A Star is Born  is pretty great all-around, mainly because of the lead performances. The Hate U Give   begins in limited release and is easily the best film to arrive in theaters this week. There are other reviews too, including a home release and an early take on Bad Times at the El Royale . Also, I was officially welcomed into the Online Film Critics Society , so there's a link to that too. Lastly, enjoy all the cool podcast episodes we put out as well. Thanks for reading!
