Photo: ‘Jiu Jitsu’/Netflix Shoot For The Comets New to Netflix this past weekend is the sci-fi comic book adaptation ‘Jiu Jitsu’ starring Alain Moussi, Frank Grillo, Nicolas Cage, JuJu Chan, and Tony Jaa. The film is directed by Dimitri Logothetis, the filmmaker behind Kickboxer: Vengeance, who also penned the comic the film is based on with co-writer Jim McGrath. The film follows Jake Barnes, played by Moussi, as he goes toe-to-toe with an alien warrior that arrives every six-years when a comet passes over Earth to challenge the human Jiu Jitsu warriors to battle. This film is very ambitious in its production, specifically with its camera and stunt work — unfortunately, when shooting for the stars the film doesn’t always make it. The film has some nuggets of good ideas and potential but overall, has too many aspects that needed improvement for me to be satisfied. Related article: A...

Apparently Bruce Willis was slated to be in this instead of Nicolas Cage… Thank the movie gods we got Cage!
I guess in some circles the career of Nicolas Cage has become somewhat of a “meme”. Yes it can be said that we are a far cry from the Oscar-winning Leaving Las Vegas Cage or the height of his acting clout, 90s Face/Off Cage, but I am of the firm opinion we are in the vintage Cage phase of this damn fine actors career. Also let’s be honest Mandy, Colour Out of Space and Primal are all cracking movies in their own right and these are his latest outings; so you never know, much like Josh Brolin and Matthew McConaughey had their comebacks, we may...

According to George H.W. Bush's longtime chief-of-staff, Jean Becker, the former Potus, 93, held his wife's hand for the entire day before she died.
