Correct usage with these examples.

a) It is very much a film to be seen, for at its best it hits with a certainty of aim which is as exciting as it is devastating.

Is this not a comma splice, as isn't the conjunction 'for' beginning a new sentence not joining two?



b) Now there’s this vicious competition, they wouldn’t have sat down to learn how to play a card game with their dad.

Is this ok to lose the now that or should you include it as a rule?
