My Name Is Vendetta(2022)
My Name is Vendetta might have a different name and setting but it eventually gets to the same point Mafia movies have for decades. The genre has seen some admirable innovations in plot & character. Even television has developed the spine to sink its teeth into this enigmatic and charming world of crime and violence. But this Italian film is surely not one of them. For all of its big chasing sequences and killing, My Name is Vendetta cannot escape the legacy or the logistics of Mafia movie tropes.

Her destiny came a full circle and now she will take the family name forward in perhaps the same style. She chose not to take a different path in life and learned that the laws of the game remain the same: kill or be killed. Sofia could never have escaped the mayhem. Domenic though like a father when he took the decision to or though of the possibility to give Sofia a normal life.
It's Christmas Eve for NFL fans, and aside from the latest short-sighted offering from the powers-that-be-named-Goodell (kicking off Draft Day on a Thursday night?!), all is well in the world - unless you're a college girl trying to negotiate a hallway bathroom, public scrutiny and a d-bag STEELERS QB dead-set on making TIGER and JESSE JAMES look good by comparison.
EZ BRYANT and Golden Domer GOLDEN TATE. While Tate's familiarity with New England's offensive scheme, memorized under presumed donut-hoarder CHARLIE WEIS, makes him a tempting pick, if he's gone fans'll have to take solace in the fact that, well..."we already have a young receiver named Tate." Williams is more quick than fast (a seeming requirement for Foxboro wideouts) and carries a reputation for soft hands and big run-after-catch ability. Just pray he's better than the last heralded USC receiver named Williams...
Hollywood Equivalent: Working out of SoCal, similar height and build, a first name that begins with D and ends in N (not to mention a last name that begins with W and ends in S), the choice is obvious: DAMON WAYANS. (It goes without saying that the video provided by the fledgling NFL-er is more compelling than even the least egregious clips from Major Payne or My Wife and Kids.)
First of all, read his name again. If you're a team looking for a hard-nosed presence to stick in the middle of your defense, how do you NOT draft "Brandon Spikes?" Had Hollywood opted to make Major League a football movie instead, is there any doubt the lead character would've been Brandon Spikes? (Sorry for the tangent, but given the time we could've devoted to Sergio Kindle and any number of "Spanish Golfer meets Bill Gates' crappy version of the iPad" riffs, we think you'll agree, you got off easy.) But back to the Gator at hand...
TEDY BRUSCHI's favorite pick comes with an iffy spine that somehow hasn't affected his athletic fluidity. Still, a year-long layoff will likely affect his draft status, which is why there's a decent shot he'll be available here, and possibly beyond. That said, given last year's successful roll of the dice on another bad back - a very good German OL nicknamed "Seabass" - it's not out of the realm of possibility that due diligence (and a slew of 2nd rounders) will provide Bill with the brass ones required to claim this Wildcat. If not - they said, hedging - look for newbie footballer JIMMY GRAHAM here, better known as a power forward for the hoopsters of the U.
