Alice Ke currently sports a simple and slightly drab image for her down-to-earth character of Shen Xing Ren in the drama Office Girls. She’s about to show a completely different side to herself in the movie Bear It (熊熊爱上你) with Dylan Kuo (who I call Taiwan’s version of Hayami Mokomichi) that will finally be released next month. The director of … Continue reading →
Director Doze Niu‘s pet project LOVE the movie has finally released it’s official full trailer as it prepares for a Valentine’s Day premiere across Asia. The movie looks fabulous, a Chinese version of Love Actually with a smaller scope and cast. I pretty much like every single actor in this movie, and watching them love, fight, and make out in … Continue reading →
On my list of top mangas of all time (around 30 or so currently reside on said list) is Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story (るろうに剣心 -明治剣客浪漫譚). It’s one of the rare shonen mangas that I love without reservation, with great storytelling, illustrations, and a gut wrenching story at the core of all the battles and lighthearted moments. Kenshin is about … Continue reading →
Vic Zhou and Ella continue their seemingly interminable promotional tour for their movie Perfect Two, which opens in 3 weeks in Taiwan and Mainland China. If this movie tanks at the box office, it won’t be for the lack of trying. Clearly Zai Zai continues to exhibit all signs that he’s been abducted by an alien (or an Ella) and … Continue reading →
It’s official. Every moody actor on the planet simply must star opposite Ella. It’s better than getting therapy. The woman famously turned Taiwan’s surliest hot shot Jerry Yan into a smiling, laughing, giddy man-boy on the set of Down With Love. Now she’s turned serious and sensitive Vic Zhou into a complete clown. I love it. Ella and Zai Zai … Continue reading →
Not only is Zai Zai looking more and more like Tony Leung, he’s also healthier and happier than I have seen him in years. Seeing Vic Zhou along with Yang Mi and Ella hitting the Chinese variety show circuit to promote their movie Perfect Two (minus Xiao Xiao Bin who is back in Taiwan), I suddenly discovered a ZaiMi craving … Continue reading →
Led by Director Doze Niu, the leads of the upcoming romantic movie LOVE were in Shanghai today to unveil the latest poster for the movie and continue with their steady promotional activities for the movie which premieres in February. Present were Ethan Ruan, Vicky Zhao, Amber Kuo, Eddie Peng, and Ivy Chen, with Mark Chao and Shu Qi absent due to scheduling … Continue reading →
Wonderful Radio with Lee Min Jung and Lee Jung Jin released it’s full length movie trailer this week. I still find it underwhelming solely based on the trailer, even if the cast seems like it’s having fun and creating great chemistry. While this is not Lee Min Jung’s fault, but her character comes as as annoyingly screechy from the trailer … Continue reading →
Get this. Vic Zhou’s upcoming movie Perfect Two with Ella will be going almost head-to-head with Mark Chao’s Black & White: Dawn of the First Assault. Is there some sort of karma god in this world that loves to mind frak everyone, because this can’t be a coincidence (not sure which side plotted it). B&W premieres one week before Perfect … Continue reading →
The upcoming Korean heist movie Thieves has a seriously mind boggling cast of Lee Jung Jae, Jeon Ji Hyun, Kim Hye Soo, Kim Yoon Seok (the undisputed box office winner of this Fall season with Wandeuki), and Kim Soo Hyun. I provided a synopsis earlier here, but now the first official stills are out. It’s nothing eye-catching, but merely provides … Continue reading →
I’m sure everyone’s like “didn’t you just post about this a few days ago?” The answer is no, because a few days ago Vic Zhou was not wearing all black and Xiao Xiao Bin was missing his bright red boy cape. So those two spot-the-difference moments are enough for me to post another round of pictures of Zai Zai and … Continue reading →
What a difference a shave and a few pounds make. Vic Zhou is back in Taiwan after wrapping his period epic movie Saving General Yang, arriving just in time to attend the Golden Horse Awards with Ella to start promotions for their new movie Perfect Two (Chinese title Destiny’s Pair). It’s so good to see my Zai Zai so cheerful … Continue reading →
You can call me a hater, or just annoyed my Zai Zai isn’t in this thing so I’m slapping on the pre-release critical eye, but I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m one of the biggest fans of Black & White the drama out there. So when every little tidbit I’ve seen about the upcoming B&W movie makes me … Continue reading →
