Play Dirty

  • Title: Play Dirty (2025)

Not to be confused with the upcoming Shane Black film of the same name, Play Dirty stars Theo Rossi as corrupt Police Detective Frank Grady about to be indicted by Internal Affairs for his partnership with a local crime boss (Ron Perlman). In order to run, Frank needs the money he’s owed. However, Murray (Perlman) offers a condition of only paying out once Frank takes out Murray’s various competition all in one night. However, what’s set up as a near-impossible task turns out to be relatively easy for Frank who makes it through most of the night unscathed (with his only wound coming late in the film) to tell his story to a couple of tweakers.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is a movie set in one corner of The Lord of the Rings Universe. Sadly, it’s not a particularly interesting corner devoid of anyone other than the squabbling humans of Rohan. Providing the storyline of how Helm’s Deep got its name, the story revolves around the pride of men and quest for vengeance that ends badly for all. Honestly, I’m bewildered why anyone thought this was the story to expand the universe of Tolkien beyond The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Red Hulk #1

/ / Comics

Obviously attempting to take advantage of the events of Captain America: Brave New World (despite a mixed critical and fan reaction) as well as laying foundation to rebuild Doctor Doom as a major villain in the Marvel Universe leading into Avengers: Doomsday next year, Red Hulk #1 is more about IP and cross-marketing than interesting storytelling.
