Critics Review Taken from : MSN Singapore Entertainment
http://entertainment.sg.msn.com/movies/fil...P_MediaID=36287

Critics Reviews By Loong Wai Ting

People say that stars shine, burn and die - but for a movie star like Sammo Hung, with all the sensationalised rumours about his death cropping up all the time, just doesn't seem to. The big guy can still jump and kick (and in the case of this movie, chop and grill) without so much as breaking sweat.

For those who are still wondering what's on the menu, "Kung Fu Chefs" is a combination of what general audiences like to see. In short, it has everything under one roof - great presentation of food, action, and of course, comedy. For "Kung Fu Chefs," not only the food captivates but also great showmanship from a cast on full power. It's like going back to the good ol' days when Sammo Hung and Stephen Chow teams up with Jackie Chan to do what they're best at.

If you're thinking that "Kung Fu Chefs" will be have a lot of super-fake or make-believe effects, think again. Sometimes, too much of special effects can be very confusing and unattractive and "Kung Fu Chefs" definitely avoids that by appetisingly serving up something worth watching and appreciating.

For fans of Vanness Wu who are drooling on this paragraph right now, you read it here first that the celebrated member of Taiwanese boy band "JVKV" (formerly known as "F4") has more mature looks now. He looks pretty good too, but somebody better take him off screen before he starts overdoing the new beefy body in front of the camera.

"Kung Fu Chefs" also see many kung fu masters from Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle" and Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" getting together to showcase their fighting skills. You can spot one or two masters in every angle showing off their skills.

All in all, "Kung Fu Chefs" is worth watching over the weekend with some friends. There are a few things you can pick up from watching the movie. Just a word of advice - make sure you don't watch this one on an empty stomach!

Enough with the cooking - Vanness Wu now wants you to listen to his new album and buy his jewellery line

Fight for your right to cook

Martial arts meet Top Chef as singer Vanness Wu turns culinary for his new movie role

In the new action movie Kung Fu Chefs, actor-siner Vanness Wu plays a young cook who can whip up a delicious traditional Szechuan dish Fresh Water Bok-Choy (chinese cabbage).

But in real life, the best dish he can cook is simply an omelette.

The single 31-year-old was in town last week to promote his latest movie in which he plays a promising chef and martial arts fighter who takes part in a cooking competition to compete for the title of Top Chef.

We, who is in wildly popular Taiwanese boyband JVKV (formerly known as F4), tells Life! in a interview at Marina Mandarin Hotel: "The last time I cooked was many years ago. My cooking is not bad but I cook only for myself and have not really cooked for others before."

The Los Angeles-born actor is blase when comparisons about his film are made to Stephen Chow's famous Hong Kong comedy The God of Cookery (1996), which has a similar premise.

He says in his American-accented English: "There will always be comparisons so I won't worry too much about it. Just let it be."

Kung Fu Chefs is just the latest in a long line of movies with the words Kung Fu in its title, including Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle (2004), Jay Chou's Kung Fu Dunk (2008) and Hollywood animated comedy Kung Fu Panda (2008).

Wu thinks the Mandarin movie industry should capitalise on the fact that martial arts is unique to the Chinese: "We should do what we are good at and not shy away from it. If something is unique and good, why stop?"

Sporting long shoulder-length black hair, Wu is dressed in a casual get-up of blue checked shirt and jeans. Although he looks tired, he is relaxed and chatty.

The actor broke into the entertainment scene with popular mange-based pioneer idol drama Meteor Garden (2001) along with fellow bandmates Jerry Yen, Vic Chou and Ken Chu.

He has come a long way from his F4 pretty boy days. Now sporting a more mature unshaven look, he says he wants to break out of his idol status.

He frankly admits that being in a boyband was not the ideal way of breaking into the entertainment scene: "There were too many riles and we had to sell this wholesome, clean-cut pretty boy image because that is what fans want. It was very restrictive and unreal."

However, he is grateful for his big break eight years ago. Now, the star is busy with his third album which will be released in Japan soon and a new unisex jewellery line he has created.

"I have loved drawing since I was young and I am glad that now I have the chance to put my designs into reality."

Even with a new movie, album and jewellery line, the busy man does not forget his fans: "I want to ask them to be careful and look after themselves. I am worried about their safety as some of them are always following me around in vehicles, and I don't want them to get hurt."

Kung Fu Chefs in showing in cinemas now.

Vanness Wu met with a black-hearted stall owner
was sold 150 sticks of satay when he ordered 10 sticks at Singapore Lau Pat Sat

Lately, Vanness Wu and Gabe Lee were in Singapore and fleeced by a satay stall owner. Luckily, another stall owner next door recognised them as celebrities, and helped out.

28 Feb, they were having supper at Lau Pat Sat and ordered 10 sticks of satay set worth NT550 from roadside stall. Unexpectedly, the stall assistant served 150 sticks. After an arguement, the shop assistant gathered 20+ malays around them.
To avoid trouble, Vanness suggested to pay up and leave but Gabe was unhappy at being fleeced and took photos as evidence. Luckily, stall owner next door recognized them and helped to settle the issue. In the end, they took back the satays at a discounted price of NT1590.

Singapore tourism board assisitant manager expressed: "In Singapore, every restaurant or stall will have license, if the public experience similar situations can inform the shop manager or report to the police. It is recommended to record the road name, shop name and photos as evidence and dial 18007362000 between 8am to 9pm to make a complain."

25 February 2009, 3 PM at Marina Mandarin

It’s easy to think of Sammo Hung as the gongfu action star. But as a rapper!?

Indeed, that’s exactly what Vanness Wu managed to get Sammo Hung to do on the set of their latest film together, Kung Fu Chefs- though it did take some studious convincing on his part before Sammo said yes.

In town to promote the movie that he also produced the music for, Vanness Wu spoke excitedly about his successful attempt at getting “Da Gor” (as Sammo is affectionately known) to lend his vocals to one of the songs in the film.

“Terry, my fellow music producer, and I thought ‘Hey wouldn’t it be cool if we got Sammo on a track?’ But when we asked Sammo, he said ‘No, you don’t want me to sing on a song. I’m not a very good singer.’ So we discussed it and in the end, we decided that no matter what, we just had to get him to do the track,” said Vanness.

“So on the last day that Terry (who incidentally hails from Singapore) visited the set in Guangzhou, he brought all his recording equipment and we ambushed Sammo while he was resting between takes.” But after much pleading, Sammo gamely took up the mic and the rest is history. “He (Sammo) heard the finished product, and I think he was really quite happy with it.”

In fact, Vanness Wu has nothing but praise for his co-star. “It was just great working with him. His skill in martial arts, his character as a person- he’s just charming,” he said. “And to watch him fight, to watch him work, was really a great inspiration.”

And rightly so- since it appears that the former F4 member has been working hard at carving out a name for himself as a young, up-and-coming action star. Since the members of the popular boy band began pursuing their solo careers, his big-screen forays have been mostly action flicks such as Star Runner and Dragon Squad.

“I’ve always loved action movies since I was young. I guess because of my background in dancing, I’m more flexible and more limber so most of the roles I get are in action movies,” he said. “But I’d love to change my characters as well so I’m just looking out for the right role to play.”

His role in Kung Fu Chefs also marks somewhat of a change for him- this being his first action comedy. But it seems he is just as comfortable in comedy as he is doing action.

He said: “What’s really great in this movie is how the director just gave me the freedom to do what I wanted, basically to have fun, and I think that’s what made it much easier for me as well.”

But what he found more challenging on the set of Kung Fu Chefs was filming the many cooking scenes. “I like to eat, but I don’t really cook that well,” he said. “In cooking, the hand movements have to be a certain way. And plus if you’re not familiar with the knives, then it’s very easy to get hurt. So cooking is probably a little bit harder for me right now.”

Aside from acting, the versatile star has recently embarked on a new venture- designing his own jewellery line, called 3V07 (which actually reads “LOVE” backwards). In fact, he was also wearing some of the items he created, including a ring adorned with a star and a lightning bolt on it and another meant to be worn on two fingers that’s shaped like a chastity belt.

“I love to draw, and I love to design, so this is actually something that I’ve always wanted to do.” In a surprisingly frank and candid manner, he added: “Now I’m at a different point in my life where I see truth is, I see where I’m at, and I’m able to identify with who I am, and what’s important to me- God, family, friends, fans.”

And certainly that same kind of clarity, coupled with determination, will definitely serve him well. After all, that’s probably the same spirit that convinced Sammo “Da Gor” Hung to take up the microphone in the first place.

Van Ness: Anything for Ang Lee

Does abstinence in real life translate to greater restrictions in reel life? Taiwanese artiste Van Ness Wu, member of Taiwanese pop boy band F4, who has a one-year abstinence plan in place to honour God, distinguishes his work and private life clearly.

In new movie "Kung Fu Chef", his relationship with Kago Ai remained pure and innocent; he said the lack of kissing scenes has nothing to do with abstinence. In fact, he does not resist intimate scenes.

"It's acting and not real." He added that he has not set any restrictions for his onscreen performances, but will select scripts very carefully.
"I think what is most important is the script; the story, direction of the movie and director's vision. I will not easily take on something like 'Lust, Caution'. But if the director is Ang Lee, then it's ok. I'll do it," he laughed.

From his first film "Star Runner" to "Dragon Squad", "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" and most recently "Kung Fu Chef", Wu was unable to detach his onscreen persona with martial arts. However, this was not specially arranged for.

"I do not have a particular direction that I would like to pursue. Any characters that are challenging will interest me."

"Kung Fu Chef" combines martial art and culinary skills; despite their stark differences, Wu see them as a commonality.

"Kung fu is a form of exercise. It trains up one's self-discipline and lets you understand your ability. Cooking is also a form of kung fu. Every dish needs skills; the simpler the dish, the harder it is to create. Knife skills are also part of it," he said.

With an interest in martial arts and habit in frequenting the gym with his friend Jimmy Hong, Wu insisted on engaging in the actions by himself in the movie.
"I did insist on doing some fight scenes by myself; but when I need a stuntman to replace me, I will let the stuntman do it. When we make action films, injuries such as strains and bruises are inevitable. So we have to remember to stretch and warm up," Wu said.

With five movies and seven movies on his portfolio and experiences, come higher expectations. "It should not be hard to breakthrough. There are self-expectations; but what is breakthrough, I don't know. I don't know how to work towards breakthrough. I only know how to do my best in the things I do. I don't think I need to be better than the previous time. It's a learning process, not a competition."

Wu is currently boss of movie production company Smash & Grabs Productions, which he set up with Hong, son of action actor Sammo Hong, where they produce, direct, invest in films and screenplay.

"We have started work in name of the company. Jimmy's script is temporarily named 'Gulliver's Travel'. That is his script so he will be directing," he said. However, Wu refused to reveal or predict when the film will begin shooting or screening. He said, "You'd have to ask him."

F4 are "friends at work"

Since Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Chu and Wu, the quartets of F4, spend most of their time away from each other, developing their individual careers, the areas and density of comparisons among themselves increased; the relationship between each member also naturally becomes a focal point.

Early this year, Chu commented on an interview that the quartets are merely colleagues and not friends. Wu, on the other hand, told us: "Everyone has their own opinion. What do I think? I think we are friends We are friends at work. In private, our personalities are very different, and we are each busy over our own careers."

He was first very certain they are friends but switch quickly to say they are "friends at work". You will have to judge what that means

Tokyo concert last October was the last time that F4 appeared as a group; when asked if the four of them will be working together again, Wu replied without hesitating, "If we are all available, of course we will. (What about in the near future?) We'll wait and see. (So there are no plans yet?) Hmm," he smiled.

Wu also revealed that he will be releasing his third album in the second half of the year. Besides that, he also has a movie and a drama in the pipeline.

Animated TV
Van Ness, the voice Heart-throb ditches F4 to pursue his first love ¡ª manga

HIS long, floppy rebonded hair sparked a trend among Asian guys who couldn¡¯t carry off the look. Best known for being one-quarter of once phenomenally popular Taiwanese boyband F4 (which has since been renamed JVKV), Van Ness Wu ¡ª he¡¯s changed his name from Vanness to Van Ness, the road in his hometown of Los Angeles he was named after ¡ª has long since shed his flowerpower Meteor Garden image in favour of an edgier style.
The 31-year-old, who has dabbled in diverse ventures including music, film and, most recently, jewellery design, stars in LaMB, Animax Asia¡¯s first original animation production. Or at least his voice does. LaMB explores the futuristic world of a harsh desert planet where the inhabitants have perfected ¡°lamination¡±, a system by which criminals are imprisoned in laminated suits to ensure that they remain productive members of society in a system of virtual slavery. ¡°I¡¯m very excited about this project,¡± said Wu over the phone from Taipei. ¡°I¡¯ve been a very big animation buff since I was a kid ... I love the way they¡¯re able to create a different world with so much imagination.¡±
Also starring the voices of Josie Ho and Tanaka Chie, the ambitious project includes music videos, web manga, mobile graphic novels and mobisodes, as well as online and mobile games. In addition, it features songs from The Click Five and Simple Plan, as well as costumes designed by Vivienne Tam. Wu, who counts Ninja Scroll, Appleseed, Akira, Samurai Champloo, Naruto and Finding Nemo among his favourite animations, voices protagonist Dr Jack Griswold, a visiting scientist who debates the ethical implications of lamination and falls in love with a woman serving her sentence in the laminated suit. ¡°I have a lot of inner demons I¡¯m trying to resolve on my own, and I¡¯m trying to get through life living in the past and wondering what the future¡¯s going to hold; trying to find a purpose,¡± he said of his character. ¡°It was really difficult, but it was fun to try to connect with those emotions. It¡¯s too bad I wasn¡¯t able to do it in front of the camera.¡± In fact, the Kung Fu Chefs star may have found his new calling. ¡°I¡¯d definitely love to try new characters and different types of voiceovers. I love doing crazy voices,¡± he said. ¡°And funny voices and high voices and low voices and monster voices.¡±

Catch Part 1 of LaMB on Tuesday and Part 2 on March 31 at 8pm on Animax (StarHub TV Channel 84). Visit www.animax-lamb.com for more online content.

Race invited Vanness to star in a short film for her new song "Bu San Bu Jian", and Philip Ng as executive director. In the short film, Vanness and Race will act as a guy and gal who fell out of love and met each other at a hotel. How will Race thank the 2 guys for their help? Race mischeviously shook Vanness and Philip hand and said she'll treat them to a meal.

Race disclosed that Vanness wakes up at 6am to swim and keep fit.
With regards to the bullet threat addressed to Edison Chen, Vanness expressed it is his 1st time hearing of the news, of coz he feels uncomfortable. If it is a joke, then it has gone too far, everyone hopes to lead a good life, do not look back to the past.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Race will be directing a 15min short film for her new song in her solo album, and invited a good friend Vanness as the male lead for the film. Race praised Vanness for being brave to participate in her 1st solo work, and also not accepting any fees for filming the short film. How will she thank him? Race shook their hands to express her gratitude and said: "They can look for me if they have something to film in future." Will they have any intimate scenes in the film? Vanness expressed there won't be, but it can be added impromptu.
