It's finally done! Started working on this in November 2023. Before then, I hadn't been drawing comics since 2014! It's been a long process, getting back into the swing of things.
Netflix's blockbuster action sequel brings back more of the same trademark fluidly choreographed gun violence and mayhem including an impressive unbroken centrepiece sequence set inside a Georgian prison. Chris Hemsworth continues to up his bonafides as a dynamic leading physical presence and action star. However, the very thin story leaves a lot to be desired as more than a partial rehash of the first film's doomed rescue mission with a more personal connection to who Hemworth's Tyler Rake must save this time around.
"Tyler Rake 2 potrebbe avere l'azione, ma manca di sostanza. Una trama sottotono e dialoghi anonimi deludono. Sam Hargrave brilla nella regia delle scene di combattimento, ma non basta a salvare un sequel privo di originalità. #TylerRake2 #CriticaCinemato
Tyler Rake 2 – Quando l’azione non basta
“Tyler Rake 2” viene concepito come diretta conseguenza del successo, forse persino inaspettato, del suo predecessore. Sam Hargrave, regista, e Chris Hemsworth si riconnettono per dare vita a questo secondo capitolo, ancora una volta supportato da Netflix e con la sceneggiatura a firma di Joe Russo. Con un cast artistico e tecnico pressoché immutato e un…
Extraction 2 is a 2023 American action thriller film directed by Sam Hargrave and written by Joe Russo. A sequel to the 2020 film Extraction, the film stars Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, a black ops mercenary who is tasked with rescuing the imprisoned family of a Georgian gangster.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the action sequences and Hemsworth’s performance,…

Movie Reviews:
GenerationofSwine: Tombstone was a different beast, and that sort of overshadows this, given that one tries to be more accurate and the other goes for entertainment.
Take Wyatt Earp as a biopic and it is a superb and fair film. Compare it to Tombstone which was more of a Western and it’s lacking the flair.
However, it ends abruptly, and it is miscast. Cosner (and i am a fan) doesn’t really make a good Earp. Dennis Quaid who I am also a fan of, doesn’t make a good Doc. This was 1994, in the 80s I might have a dif...
As hard as it is to believe, the NFL’s 104th season is edging toward its conclusion with Super Bowl 58 this afternoon. It seems like just yesterday that 32 teams (well realistically like 24-25) had hopes of chasing Super Bowl Glory. Fast forward to February and 30 teams are now pounding their heads against the wall trying to figure out how the fuck they get to this game.
But we’re not here to talk about the 30 teams left wondering “what if”. We’re here to talk about the last two standing. The ones who can practically taste that Lombardi……well assuming they had licked the trophy at some point, which hey, who the hell knows what goes on behind closed doors! The first Super Bowl in Las Vegas features San Francisco vs Kansas City II, with the contractual details of the trilogy conclusion being ironed out as we speak. While the team colors are familiar, both teams have undergone makeovers on par with Spearmint Rhino’s top stripper entering her 40’s. You've no doubt been inundated with Super Bowl analysis for the past two weeks so we’ll cut to the chase and focus on the five matchups that will determine who wins the fucking Super Bowl!
The Trenches
Yes yes yes, it’s a tale as old as time, but it still rings true to this day. The battle is won in the trenches and the line of scrimmage may be the single biggest factor in determining who hits the Craps Tables and who will simply be leaving Las Vegas.
The Chiefs’ D-Line (most notably Chris Jones) will have its opportunity to feast against anyone not named Trent Williams, who is basically the scariest fucking bouncer in history. On the edges, San Francisco will deploy the reunited Ohio State duo of Nick Bosa and Chase Young against the oft-penalized Donovan Smith and Jawaan Taylor. The interior will feature starters Arik Armstead and Javon Hargrave going toe to toe with Creed Humphrey and Nick Allegreti, the latter of which is filling in for the injured All Pro Left Guard Joe Thuney.
Advantage: San Francisco
SF WRs vs KC DBs
Let’s be honest, Kansas City’s lack of talent at Wide Receiver is probably what makes this a fair fight. The fact that the gauntlet of AFC opponents allowed them to make the Super Bowl THIS YEAR is frankly embarrassing, but we won’t belabor that point. The other side of this matchup presents the far more interesting battles.
Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and oft unsung hero Jauan Jennings will face off against All-Pro Cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and hilariously underrated running mate L’Jarius Sneed, who did not yield a single touchdown in coverage in 2023. San Francisco’s receiving corps against Kansas City’s secondary may very well be the most enticing matchup of Super Bowl 58 and frankly, feels like a bit of a wash. But with San Francisco’s issues on the right side of their O-Line (23rd in pass block efficiency per PFF) combined with a Quarterback playing in his first Super Bowl, it’s hard not to lean towards the secondary here.
Advantage: Kansas City
Fred Warner vs Travis Kelce
The intermediate game offers an equally tantalizing matchup as the best Linebacker in the league will be tasked with holding Kansas City’s most prolific receiver, and one of the greatest Tight Ends of all time in Travis Kelce, in check. Few teams would even dare trust a linebacker mono y mono with the likes of Kelce. But Fred Warner is the best coverage linebacker in the league and is essentially a cheat code on Defense.
We may have said this a time or two already (you try doing this after four stiff margaritas), but this matchup could truly define Super Bowl 58, as inability to connect with 87 could frustrate Mahomes and kill drives, while getting Kelce going early could simultaneously drop the 49ers and Taylor Swift’s panties.
Advantage: The Guy with the rings and the most powerful Pop Star on the planet in his corner
CMC vs the World
Christian McCaffrey in all honesty, was the MVP this year. But because it HAS to be a Quarterback award, that title went to a regular season hero in Lamar Jackson. According to the overwhelming majority of NFL analysts, CMC is the reason Brock Purdy even has a job. And with that comes lofty expectations from both the fans and the opposing defense.
Luckily for San Francisco, that opposing Defense is Kansas City’s 31st ranked Outside Zone Defense. While they will undoubtedly be expecting a hefty dose of McCaffrey, history suggests they won’t have many answers in terms of defending it. If only the actual winner of the MVP award had challenged them on the ground more!
Advantage: San Francisco
Purdy vs Mahomes
The most highlighted matchup of Super Bowl 58 may also be its most lopsided as the last pick in the draft squares off against arguably the best Quarterback the league has ever seen. This is the ultimate David vs Goliath story. Except it’s David w/ Cerebral Palsy vs Goliath on a cocktail of angel dust, steroids, and beaver tranquilizer.
Unlike the media writ large, we really don’t think Purdy is a ‘Game Manager’ or a ‘System Quarterback’ or whatever disparaging slur they’ve attributed to him as of late. But as fun as his underdog story is, the simple fact of the matter is Mahomes has racked up a star-studded body count this year that includes his perennial rival Josh Allen, a Miami offense led by his former super weapon Tyreek Hill, & the now two-time MVP Lamar Jackson.
We’re not saying Purdy has no chance of beating him, but Mahomes does tend to just win games he really shouldn’t when you look at the conventional matchups. And if he can do that against some of the best super weapons the league has ever seen, what chance does Mr. Irrelevant actually have?
Advantage: Kansas City
Bonus: Taylor Swift vs Donald Trump
Let us preface this by saying, we have no reason to believe Donald Trump roots for or against either of these teams. We know he loves the Patriots as they were one of the few teams that actually visited him in the White House (minus a key figure or two) and spent the entire Tom Brady era torturing the team he tried and failed to buy a decade ago. So why is the not even slightly controversial former President being brought up in this ridiculous sports article?
Because he’s running again and the presence of one particular Super Star has led to one of the funniest sports conspiracies we’ve ever heard. Bay Area fans turn back now, this section certainly does not favor you. The obviously credible theory perpetuates that Goodell and Co. have scripted another Kansas City victory to ensure Travis Kelce proposes to the the most powerful woman on the planet right before she endorses Joe Biden for the 2024 presidency. There are some variations of this theory that suggest Kelce will celebrate the victory by impregnating Swift on the field for the whole world to see (that’d certainly one-up the Janet Jackson thing).
Obviously, an influx of new voters in the form of the Swifties riding a sleepy Joe endorsement would prove problematic for Trump, which leads to our final point. Taylor Swift net worth: $1.1 Billion. Donald Trump net worth: $2.6 Billion with several axes to grind. Scripts be damned, at the end of the day money talks!
