The staff at Jackfroot.com is going to start a weekly installment that will feature Asian/ Asian American films from the past and present.

The goal is to expose these great pieces of work and give them the spotlight like no other media platform has done before. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and let Jackfroot…

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!? The Jackfroot staff is, and here’s a little guide to some Asian American players you should keep an eye out for throughout the season. Troy Polamalu – Safety – Pittsburgh Steelers Troy Polamalu is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, safety in the National Football League and is truly the heart of the Steelers defense. With his trademark locks and aggressive style defense, he is definitely a player to look out for this season. Anytime they have Polamalu on their defense, the Steelers will always have a chance at the making…

With Jackie Chan defeating Tony Jaa by a narrow margin and advancing to the next round, we now focus on our last matchup of Round 1. This week we feature two young action stars Johnny Nguyen (The Rebel & Clash) and Ernie Reyes Jr. (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 & The Rundown).
