It's a "Star Is Born" world: The rest of us just get to live here occasionally. Bradley Cooper's and Lady Gaga's big musical melodrama dominates the screens this week, but we've got tons of other releases, from the comic book oddity "Venom" to Tamara Jenkins' great "Private Life" to the YA adaptation "The Hate U Give."
And with the baseball playoffs going on, we look at 1989's "Major League" in our reboot section. It's a long one, but a good one.
Timestamps:
6:05 "A Star Is Born"
27:05 "Venom"
43:10 "Private Life"
59:38 "The Hate U Give"
1:06:30 "Major League"
Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.
