October Releases

October Releases



Fall's in full swing, and this month's practically bursting with box office potential, along with a slew of new shows to please homebodies parked on the couch.  Two big features right out the gate are Venom, Sony's virgin step into the Marvel movie enterprise headed by everyone's favorite toothy anti-hero; and The Hate U Give, the big screen adaptation of writer Angela Thomas' pointed debut novel about a a young woman forced to confront the realities of police racial profiling, and the terrible consequences it rains down upon everyone.  One last high-profile premiere at the end of the month is the (supposed) final chapter of the Halloween horror franchise, which sees Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her iconic role as she suits up for one final showdown with the legendary Michael Myers.

On the small screen, Amy Poehler's back, flashing her signature comedic brilliance with the new series I feel Bad, an NBC comedy following the trials and turbulence of Emet, the"perfect" boss, wife and mother who turns out to be anything but.  Meanwhile, Disney's flexing its Star Wars muscles on the boob-tube with Star Wars Resistance, an animated prequel to The Force Awakens that is likely to inspire as much angry turd-flinging from the franchise faithful as the beleaguered sequel trilogy it's attached to.

Meanwhile, Capcom's releasing Mega Man 11 the latest addition to the wildly popular franchise, while fighting game powerhouse Namco will unleash number VI of its second fighting flagship title, Soul Caliber.  Here's hoping it'll be less contentious than the storm that was Tekken 7.
