Hasbro has announced it will work to bring Magic: The Gathering to screens everywhere.

The Hollywood Reporter says Hasbro is working with Legendary Entertainment to create a shared Magic: The Gathering universe that will include both movies and TV shows, with the movie the first priority.

“We pride ourselves on being thoughtful caretakers of singular, beloved IP, and no property better fits that description than Magic: The Gathering,” says Legendary’s chairman of worldwide production. The studio is behind such films as Dune and the western Godzilla movies like Godzilla vs Kong, and Detective Pikachu.

While it’s not totally clear, based on the report it sounds like the movie and TV adaptations at Legendary are going to be unrelated to the Magic: The Gathering animated series announced for Netflix. Though it could also mean that plans have changed and the animated series is now part of this larger shared universe.

Magic: The Gathering is a card game created by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 and has since grown to become one of the most popular trading card games in the world. Wizards of the Coast was acquired by Hasbro in 1999.

Hasbro is no stranger to creating movie adaptations of its products, which range from G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Dungeons and Dragons. The company has several projects already in the works including new G.I. Joe movies, a new Power Rangers film, and even a Beyblade movie.

Ahead of Valentine's Day, Amazon has just dropped the price of the latest model 10th gen Apple iPad to $279 shipped. Currently all colors including Blue, Silver, Pink, and Yellow are discounted. Although this price is about $20 higher than what we saw during Black Friday, This is the best price we've seen so far this year for the 10th gen iPad, and a really great Valentine's Day gift idea.

Apple iPad 10.9" 10th Gen for $279

For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. This model has significant improvements over its predecessor. For starters, it boasts a larger 10.9" screen without adding to the overall dimensions thanks to a slimmer bezel. It also has a faster A14 Bionic chip, which is a 20% increase in CPU performance and a 10% increase in GPU performance over the A13. It's now compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard so you can convert it into a mini laptop for better workflow (making it one of the best iPads for students). Other practical upgrades include the transition to a universal USB Type-C port, a better camera, and an updated Wi-Fi 6 protocol.

The model on sale right now is equipped with 64GB of internal storage and Wi-Fi (not LTE) connectivity. All color options (Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow) are discounted and should ship out before Valentine's Day, which lands on February 14. Go with the base model; choosing one with more storage or cellular connectivity will cost you a lot more.

If you're not sure which iPad is best for you, we have an iPad guide which details which iPad is ideal for which use case. If you intend want to get an iPad for schoolwork, we have an iPad guide for students as well. If you're looking for options outside of iOS, check out the best Android tablets of 2025.

The Nintendo Switch 2 looks mighty familiar, but Nintendo seems to have saved all of its biggest changes for the Joy-Cons as shown by some new patents.

While we still don’t have an official confirmation from Nintendo, reports came out saying the Switch 2 Joy-Cons would now attach magnetically and could even be used like a computer mouse. These changes are now all but confirmed thanks to a series of patents filed by Nintendo that detail the magnetic attachments and mouse-like features.

According to the patent, “This game controller is detachably mounted to a body device that has a recess, that comprises a first magnet and a second magnet at the bottom of the recess, and that can execute game processing.”

The patent also details how there are two buttons that must be pressed to detach the Joy-Cons from the Switch 2 body. “The first button and the second button are provided in the longitudinal direction in the top surface of the protrusion,” the patent says. ‘The first button and the second button are to be pressed by a user. The first button is attracted to the first magnet by a magnetic force. The second button is attracted to the second magnet by a magnetic force.”

The patent also includes illustrations of the Joy-Cons being used as a mouse with the player holding the controller railside down and treating the shoulder buttons like a mouse button. The R1 and R2 buttons act like the left and right mouse button respectively, and there might be some kind of scrolling function when using the joysticks.

Further illustrations show that this mouse-like function can be used in a combination of ways whether as a dual mouse configuration, or the player using one controller like a mouse and the second Joy-Con like a standard game controller.

The magnetic attachments for the Joy-Cons were one of the earliest leaks to come out of the Switch 2. The mouse-like function came out a bit later and still hasn’t been officially confirmed. But the teaser released earlier in January showed the Joy-Cons gliding across a surface like a computer mouse which was a subtle nod to the feature from Nintendo.

For everything we know so far about the Nintendo Switch 2 check out our breakdown here. Nintendo is planning a Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, 2025 so stay tuned for all the official details then.

The first wave of 2025 prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards are now available for purchase. Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, Adorama, and B&H Photo all have fresh listings up on their sites starting today. If you're looking for a complete system equipped with one of these current generation GPUs, this will be your best opportunity to get one for a while, or at least until the big OEM manufacturers like Dell (Alienware), HP (Omen), and Lenovo (Legion) release their own systems towards the end of Q1.

If you're looking for a standalone GPU instead of a prebuilt, you've come to the wrong page: Check out our complete RTX 5090 and 5080 preorder guide to see which retailers are likely to have them. Keep in mind that the launch-day stock of GPUs has a good chance of being sold out within hours or even minutes. Retailers have already warned about inventory shortages, and recent Nvidia GPU launches have been marred by bots that buy up mass quantities of GPUs with the intention of reselling at an extremely marked-up rate.

Best Buy

Entertainment has hit critical mass over the last decade, with more shows and movies being produced and released than ever before. It’s impossible to keep up with everything hitting the digital space, whether it be Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) or a traditional streaming network. With that in mind, we figured it was well past time for us to whip up a little something to help you keep up (and catch up) with all there is to watch in the big, wide world of digital viewing. And thus, the Streaming Rewind was born!

We’ll update this list at the end of each week so you can check out what you may have missed, and what’s coming up on the weekend. We’ll keep it a mix of popular releases and noteworthy lesser-known titles to help you find what’s worth taking the risk on as well as dive into a few things that we loved and why we loved ‘em, or just break down a show or movie that left us with some opinions. Sometimes, we’ll even have guest entries from other members of the IGN staff. If you’re not interested in all that and just want to see a bulleted list of what’s out there, pop on down to the New and Noteworthy and ICYMI sections.

Severance Asks Big Questions (ongoing, Apple TV+)

Apple TV+’s psychological drama/mystery series is pushing towards the middle of its second season, and it's bringing big themes with it. This week’s Severance, while light on goats, explores questions of autonomy between innies and outies in major ways, but it doesn’t quite reconcile those questions just yet. It’s not out of character, given that Severance has always been more of a slow-burn kind of series, but it’s definitely an episode of television that will leave you screaming at the characters to use their words. We spoke to stars Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, and Tramell Tillman as well as creator Dan Erickson about Season 2, Episode 4’s big twist, so be sure to check that out once the episode drops on Friday.

Invincible Is Back (February 6, Prime Video)

Invincible is back, this time with a normal gap between seasons and a reasonable release schedule that doesn’t leave fans wondering where the heck the rest of the story is. In Season 3, Mark (Steven Yeun) is going to be forced to reconcile not just with his past, but with his future as well. Definitely not an ominous synopsis for a character who also happens to be desperately trying to balance his life as a hero and a person. The first three episodes of Season 3 drop on February 6, with the remainder of the season coming weekly thereafter. Take a look at our piece on the most important new Invincible characters to expect in Season 3 before you dive into the new season.

It’s the Big Game! (February 9, Fox)

Football isn’t really something we talk about often on IGN dot com (although raise your hand if you remember IGN Sports from back in the day), but plenty of us nerds also happen to be pretty big fans. Shout out to the two cities who are happy with this year’s outcome while the rest of us are forced to watch the exact same Super Bowl we did last year. We’re definitely not bitter*. But, while two cities go to war, the rest of us will at least have good snacks while we root for both teams to lose**. Also, the trailers! Speaking of which, why not check out our breakdowns on the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer and Jurassic World Rebirth trailer.

*I am a Lions fan, I am very bitter.

**Go birds.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is still set for release in fall 2025, parent company Take-Two has insisted.

Reporting its third quarter ending December 31, 2024 financial results, the Rockstar owner listed GTA 6 for fall 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. It means that for now at least, GTA 6 is still on track for its previously announced release window and has not been delayed.

Speaking to IGN ahead of the release of its financial report, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that while "there's always a risk of slippage," the company "feel really good about it [fall 2025]."

"Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things," Zelnick responded when IGN asked how confident he was that Rockstar will hit fall 2025 for GTA 6. "So we feel really good about it."

When asked for an update on how development on GTA 6 is going, Zelnick kept his cards close to his chest.

"Look, I think the game is eagerly anticipated both internally and externally," he said. "We know that Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs. I'm fond of saying arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we're all running scared and looking over our shoulders and we know that the competition is not asleep. Our whole organization is super excited."

The GTA 6 release date is one of the hottest topics in all of entertainment, with rival publishers waiting with bated breath for Rockstar to make its announcement. Earlier this week, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said he was willing to delay the new Battlefield out of the next fiscal year depending on the release timing of its competitors’ games, a thinly veiled nod to the behemoth that is GTA 6.

While its release window remains firm, GTA 6's much-wanted Trailer 2 has yet to materialize. We're now over a year since Trailer 1's release, a gap that has caused plenty of feverish fan speculation. While you wait to find out, IGN has much more on GTA 6 to check out, including an ex-Rockstar dev who says the studio probably won’t be able to decide whether GTA 6 is delayed until May 2025, Zelnick's coy response on whether GTA 6 is coming to PC, and the expert opinion on whether the PS5 Pro will run GTA 6 at 60 frames per second.

Speaking generally about Rockstar, Take-Two said Grand Theft Auto 5 has now sold-in an incredible 210 million units worldwide. GTA Online had a “strong” quarter, led by the Agents of Sabotage update. GTA+ memberships increased 10% year-over-year in the quarter.

Red Dead Redemption 2, meanwhile, has sold-in more than 70 million copies. Take-Two noted it is currently seeing its highest level of concurrent players on Steam.

Take-Two has a busy 2025, with the just-released Civilization 7 from Firaxis, PGA Tour 2K25 and WWE 2K25 in March, Mafia: The Old Country in the summer, GTA 6 in the fall, and Gearbox’s Borderlands 4 before year-end.

“We are exceedingly optimistic about the commercial potential of our titles and believe that they will have a transformative effect on our business – and our industry – over the long term,” Take-Two said, before adding it remains “highly confident” it will achieve “sequential increases in, and record levels of, net bookings in fiscal 2026 and 2027.”

Four years since its launch in 2021, the Botanical Collection has become one of LEGO's most successful lines. Targeted at a growing adult audience, the LEGO Botanical Collection features buildable flowers and plants that are, from a distance, indistinguishable from the real ones.

That's the point of them – to be LEGO sets for adults. Rather than collecting dust, forgotten, on a random shelf, they can hang up on a wall. Or sit on a window sill. Or be placed in a vase as a table centerpiece. This is LEGO as a lifestyle, to be decorative rather than interactive, and they make for great gifts for your loved ones.

Featured in this article

Below we've laid out allof the details of our 10 favorite LEGO Plants and Flowers sets you can buy right now. Most of the flower LEGO bouquets we've featured can be placed in a vase, while the LEGO Plant sets come with a buildable base or pot.

The Shrek movie universe is a fantastical and comedic world filled with fairy tale characters and charmingly quirky inhabitants. It centers around the lovable ogre Shrek, his feisty princess-turned-ogre-wife Fiona, and their loyal friends Donkey and Puss in Boots – a character which has earned his own series of films within this universe. The franchise combines humor, adventure, and heartwarming messages, exploring themes of acceptance, self-discovery, and the power of true love. With its memorable characters, witty dialogue, and clever adaptations of fairy tale tropes, Shrek series is full of animated classics beloved by audiences of all ages.

With Shrek 5 in the early stages of pre-production, there’s no way to tell when it will be released but at least there’s always the classics available to stream online.

Where to Watch the Shrek Movies Online

What if superheroes weren’t always… good? This seemed to be the primary question coming out of the 2010s era of MCU superhero movies. While a show like The Boys took to hyper-realistic live-action gore, Prime Video's Invincible depicts the "moral complications" of superheroes while keeping the animation's art style true to its comic book roots. The result is an equally gruesome depiction of superhero life featuring bold characters, complicated powers, and some of the best writing in adult animation.

After a smaller-than-usual break between seasons, Season 3 of Invincible is hitting streaming just a year after the release of Season 2. If you're wondering where to stream Season 3 of Invincible or want to start the show for the first time, check out the details below.

Where to Stream Invincible Season 3

Season 3 of Invincible picks up where Season 2 left off, with Mark Grayson growing into his superhero identity while navigating his social life and the existing hierarchy of heroes, villains, and people who could arguably be both. For anyone new to Invincible who isn’t quite ready for spoilers, here’s the official synopsis for the show, based on the comics by Robert Kirkman:

When Is Invincible Season 4?

Invincible has already been greenlit for a fourth season. The renewal came pretty soon after the Season 2 finale, back at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con. While Season 2 and 3 have aired relatively close to one another, there’s no word on when to expect a fourth season. With recent feedback on breaks between seasons, one can hope Invincible Season 4 arrives at some point in 2026.

Invincible Season 3 Voice Cast

Invincible was created by Robert Kirkman based on his own comics, which were created alongside Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. Simon Racioppa serves as the showrunner. With a little bit of care taken to prevent spoilers, here’s some of the voice cast that stars in Invincible:

• Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson/Invincible
• J.K. Simmons as Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man
• Sandra Oh as Debra Grayson
• Gillian Jacobs as Samantha Eve Wilkins/Atom Eve
• Ross Marquand and Zachary Quinto as Rudy/Robot
• Jason Mantzoukas as Rex-Splode
• Malese Jow as Dupli-Kate
• Grey Griffin as Shrinking Rae
• Grey Griffin and Kevin Michael Richardson as Monster Girl
• Khary Payton as Black Samson
• Jay Pharoah as Bulletproof
• Ben Schwartz as The Shapesmith
• Mark Hamill as Art
• Seth Rogen as Allen the Alien

Additionally, per Deadline, Prime Video has announced that Aaron Paul, Simu Liu, Jonathan Banks, Kate Mara, Xolo Maridueña, John DiMaggio, Tzi Ma, Doug Bradley, and Christian Convery will be joining the cast of Invincible Season 3.

If you love this series, you may also want to check out the Invincible board game we reviewed just last year. It's a Hero-Building game that brings the characters from the series to the tabletop.

Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford has said Troy Baker playing the beloved character in video game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is proof "you don't need artificial intelligence to steal my soul."

Ford discussed alleviating control of Indy with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, saying he was very happy with the performance of The Last of Us actor Baker.

"You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul," Ford said. "You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."

The Great Circle arrived in December as an "authentic" but maybe not canonical entry in the long running series, which received its first new film in a long time in 2023 with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

This wasn't well received at all, however, while the game was, so the creatives behind the franchise might be inclined to go in this new direction instead of having Ford put the hat back on.

The legendary actor of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and soon Marvel fame is one of many creatives to criticize the use of AI in films and other forms of media, with the likes of Tim Burton calling AI generated art "very disturbing" and Nicolas Cage calling it a "dead end."

Several voice actors have rallied against it too, including Grand Theft Auto 5's Ned Luke who called out a chatbot which used his voice. The Witcher voice actor Doug Cockle also told IGN that AI was "inevitable" but "dangerous", sharing in Luke's assessment that chatbots and similar uses are "effectively robbing [voice actors] of income."

Sonic the Hedgehog toys get all the hype from fans of all ages. Some Sonic toys are easier to find, while others are so rare they cost a small fortune on eBay. However, one type of Sonic toy is extra special: plushies.

Tons of plushies of Sonic and friends (or enemies) are out in the world, waiting to be added to your growing collection of Sonic merch, from most common to ultra rare. For the sake of your wallet, we've narrowed it down to five Super Sonic, super-soft options. Here are the best types of Sonic plushies we found in 2025.

Tails Squishmallow

Squishmallows are the most popular brand of plushies and Sonic and his friends have been mallow-fied to perfection. However, of all the Sonic characters in the collection, we’re nominating Tails for best Sonic Squishmallow. What makes the Tails Squishmallow design even better than the rest is he actually has his signature twin tails. While the Tails version is our favorite, you can also get Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow as a Squishmallow. The latest Shadow version is a great option if you just finished watching the latest movie.

Sonic the Hedgehog 7-inch Sonic Plush Figure

This 7-inch Sonic the Hedgehog plushie is the cutest plush you could ever get a kid. This Classic Sonic design is made with a premium, super-soft fabric that can withstand every play session and outing it's brought along to. This plush is great for kids and adults who are kids at heart, including yours truly. It's small enough to take wherever you go, or place it on your desk to look at or squeeze when you need to relieve stress at work.

Shadow the Hedgehog 12-inch Great Eastern Entertainment Plush

The Shadow the Hedgehog plush from Great Eastern Entertainment is the most accurately designed Shadow plush you can find on the market. The curves on his spiky hair stand upright as they would when he’s idle, and his air shoes are incredibly detailed, down to the last hole in the soles. In addition to being an excellent plush for anyone’s Sonic toy collection, you can take this Shadow plush to any anime convention, or just sit him on your couch to watch Sonic 3.

Hero Chao Plush 6-inch Great Eastern Entertainment

The large Hero Chao plush from the Sonic Adventure 2 line of plushies has become a rare and expensive item for Sonic fans to get their hands on, but Great Eastern Entertainment has you covered with the smaller 6-inch Hero Chao plush. This plush is designed after the Hero Chao model on the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle cover art, with its arms folded together in front, and has a string that you can hang from anywhere for easy display.

Club Mocchi-Mocchi- Sonic the Hedgehog Plush

Show off the Sonic the Hedgehog's giant head with the Club Mocchi-Mocchi- Sonic the Hedgehog plush. Mocchi-Mocchi- are plush pillow heads originating from Japan that are designed to be twice as soft, squishy, and huggable as Squishmallows are. The only difference is that Sonic’s facial features and his trademark hairdo are designed with a little more accuracy to his features in-game. Use it as your pillow at night and have sweet dreams of running through Green Hill Zone.

Where Is the Best Place to Buy Sonic Plushies?

Unlike Pokemon plush toys, three isn't a Sonic-specific retailer where you can buy all of the various plushies available. Because of that, the overall best place to buy Sonic the Hedgehog plushies online is through Amazon. You can also find Sonic plushies for sale at Target, Walmart, and even GameStop, but the lowest prices and greatest variety appears to be on Amazon in 2025.

Mitsuhiro Arita is no stranger to card games. He's the artist responsible for the paintings on innumerable cards from the original release of the Pokemon Trading Card Game, including the highly saught after Charizard - but now he's painting a different kind of dragon thanks to a Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drop, and we've got the first look at all four cards from it.

Flip through the gallery below to see all the cards in Arita's Secret Lair:

This isn't the first time Arita has painted a Magic card, but his previous addition was a single, borderless art version of Lumra, Bellow of the Woods from last year's Bloomburrow set. So to get four new cards all at once shortly after that is a big jump.

In addition to that, the inclusions all see some sort of play accross different formats. The iconic Lighting Bolt is played pretty much everywhere it is allowed, and Murktide Regent has been a powerful card in both Modern and Legacy since its release in Modern Horizons 2 in 2021. Meanwhile, Light-Paws is a well-loved Commander on its own, and Shorikai has both found a comfy home for itself in many Vintage Cubes and is currently the 20th most popular Commander overall according to EDHRec.

Wizards of the Coast describes this drop on its store page as such: "With nearly 30 years of experience creating beloved art for trading card games, Mitsuhiro Arita’s work has become some of the most recognizable in the world. His first collaboration with Magic: The Gathering was on a borderless Lumra, Bellow of the Woods released in 2024’s Bloomburrow, which quickly became a fan-favorite. In this Secret Lair Drop, the legendary artist returns to showcase his iconic creature design across four remarkable cards."

As usual with Secret Lair drops, this one will be available on the Secret Lair website in non-foil for $29.99 and foil for $39.99, with both only being made available while supplies last starting on Monday, February 10 at 9am PT. Secret Lairs can tend to sell out fast these days, a point of irration within the community since WOTC switched from a timed print-to-order system last year, so if you're looking to snag them you'll want to be there as soon as they go live.

For more on Magic, you can learn more about its death race set, Aetherdrift, which launches in the next week, check out past Secret Lairs we've revealed like Chucky and Monty Python, or read about how WOTC aims to set Magic up for long-term success.

Love Hurts opens in theaters Friday, February 7.

Love Hurts is what rock critics used to call a “bastard love child.” Mate the mayhem of John Wick with the boogie of Quentin Tarantino and out pops an annoyingly quirky offspring. David Leitch, the former stuntman who produced this labored action-comedy, dabbled in such designer breeding a few years ago in his flashy IMAX caper Bullet Train, spiking a shallow gene pool of Pulp Fiction knockoffs with some kung-fu choreography. Love Hurts is like a runt from the same litter – shorter, a little gentler, but possessed of matching dominant traits. You can, once again, expect the hitmen to trade banal chitchat when not engaged in brutal, acrobatic, hand-to-hand combat.

As in Nobody, the 2021 Leitch concoction starring Bob Odenkirk as an unassuming ex-hit man, a wolf comes in sheep’s clothing. He is Marvin Gable (Ke Huy Quan), a relentlessly upbeat realtor securing dream homes for happy couples in a conspicuously Canadian stretch of American suburbia. (The film was shot in Winnipeg, but it’s set nowhere in particular.) First seen removing heart-shaped cookies from the oven, Marvin floats through his days on a cloud of positivity and professional satisfaction. What his coworkers don’t know is that this softie is secretly a Wickian badass – a reformed killing machine whose old life and bloody career come violently knocking.

This is Quan’s first headlining role since his triumphant comeback in the metaphysical, multiversal Everything Everywhere All at Once – a more imaginative genre pastiche, to put it mildly. In that film, the former child star grounds the reality-jumping lunacy with his vulnerability. Here, he’s stuck playing a walking punchline: the angel of death less interested in moldering bodies than crown moulding. Love Hurts keeps yanking the character into reluctant brawls, like the one where he trades blows with an assassin behind an office’s frosted glass walls, poking his head out between bouts of combat to flash an all-is-well grin. But there’s no actual glimmer of darkness to Marvin; the reveal that he used to kill people for a living doesn’t compute, because Quan plays him like a cuddly wrong man guilelessly dodging blows and blades.

The plotting of this oddly paced, farcical noir of murderous knuckleheads is somehow both convoluted and arbitrary. It involves Marvin getting pulled back, against his will, into the orbit of his brother and former employer, the goofily monikered, boba-craving kingpin Knuckles (Daniel Wu). (He finds a deadly use for his favorite treat’s signature wide straw during one of a few scenes that tips the film’s wonky tonal balance from sweet to sour.) The anchor of Love Hurts, which is opening just in time for Valentine’s Day, is meant to be Marvin’s unconsummated, possibly reciprocated feelings for sultry nightclub dame Rose (Ariana DeBose), who’s reemerged years after he helped her escape the life. But the romance between these recent Oscar winners never sparks, maybe because DeBose – who plays Rose as arch as a quotation mark – overcranks the campy vampiness. Overcompensating for this pointed absence of chemistry, first-time director Jonathan Eusebio supplies both characters with periodic, clunky voice-over narration – a way for them to simply state their feelings and motivations aloud. (“I know I have to face my past to truly be free,” Quan at one point murmurs.)

You get the distinct impression that full passages of Love Hurts were left on the editing-room floor en route to a mercilessly trim 80 minutes. Nevertheless, stunt veteran Eusebio stages the close-quarters showdowns with clarity and verve. But there’s nothing in the action department that we haven’t seen before and better. While Bullet Train pushed the Wick school of mechanically precise gun- and knife-play to a slapstick peak of intentional self-parody, Love Hurts never gets past the supposed hilarity of Marvin dipping out of the crossfire for a second to play smiling realtor again.

If that running gag doesn’t leave you in stitches, maybe the gallery of cartoon lowlifes will. We get Rhys Darby as a mewling Kiwi mob accountant, André Eriksen and former football star Marshawn Lynch as sitcom goons, and Mustafa Shakir as a hired gun whose sensitive poetry – he throws feathered daggers, the pen being mightier than the sword and all – helps him improbably woo Marvin’s harried assistant (Lio Tipton). The movie even finds room for a groan-inducing cameo by one of the Property Brothers. Love Hurts may take its more bruising cues from the school of visceral East-meets-West actioners that Leitch helped popularize, but it’s just as close in spirit to the sardonic crime larks that cropped up like weeds in the aftermath of Pulp Fiction. You know, the kind that made film lovers want to get medieval on Hollywood’s ass.

But Love Hurts doesn’t really step into Tarantino Land until the climax, when the action shifts to the villain’s video-store headquarters, a veritable amusement-park lair of cult memorabilia. Here, the walls are lined with posters for imaginary kung-fu movies, a Mortal Kombat II cabinet flashes and plinks, and a jukebox supplies the inevitable final fight with some ironically sweet Motown accompaniment. Is that Marvin Gaye we hear before horns and whistles create a counterfeit Ennio Morricone vibe? Our hero had to get his name from somewhere, though at least one other unlucky Marvin leaps to mind, too.
