Vic Zhou in His Medical Attire as "Dr. Su Tai Ying" in 1945 Off the SHore

Here are some photos of Vic Zhou in his medical attire.  I would say he really looks great here as a wartime doctor.  Each of the pictures here display his sorrow and doubt as a doctor.

Vic Zhou's "The Other Shore 1945" Drama Screenshots in the Battlefield

Image
Here are some screenshots of Vic Zhou's challenging role as "Dr. Su Tai Ying" in the battlefield.  These screenshots just are marvelously done with him in his uniform. He looks like he's getting shot for betrayal or what? A very confused man in the battlefield? Taking orders perhaps?

Vic Zhou's Role as a Military Doctor His "Toughest Role"?

Image
I have read from Asianfanatics from  this article  that Vic Zhou found the role of a military doctor in "The Other Shore 1945" his most challenging role of the strong and persevering military doctor that required LOTS of drama.  Kinda would remind me of Chin Han's roles or Kenny Bee's roles in older Qiong Yao type dramas.  He said, "In all of my acting career till now, this is the most challenging character, and it was also my first time acting in a war drama."  He was after all able to carry the lead roles in Silence as a dying man and a cop caught in a web in intrigue in Black and White or as a naive man in "The Last Night of Madame Chin", this role may be challenging but I think he's done well.

Some Thoughts on Forbidden Love's Romance

Image
For Forbidden Love, it talks about the story of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan who are actually monsters who can disguise as humans and there's Shi Yeon who despite being a nine-tailed fox, she despises the activities of eating human flesh and all that.  Shi Yeon works as an employee in a history museum by day while she is a monster at night in getting internal organs of humans which the clan feeds on.  Then she falls in love with Kang Min Hoo who has been assigned to track down the organ trafficking trade to feed these monsters.  What happens later is despite the fact that Kang Min Hoo discovers that his girlfriend Shi Yeon was actually a monster, he still loves her.  Of course, it was expected to have a bad ending due to the title beign "Forbidden Love".

Movie Review: The Vampire Effect

Image
If there's any vampire movie I'd say is chock full of hyper action, it's this movie called "The Vampire Effect" which stars Ekin Cheng (as the vampire hunter Reeve), Edison Chen (who is a harmless vampire who can't suck blood, poor fella, named Kazaf), Gillian Chung (as Gypsy, Reeve's new partner after his first one dies as shown in the opening) and Charlene Choi (as Helen the shrill character).  I got to admit for a horror film, it wasn't THAT scary as all the martial arts was there and it certainly showed how a remake of Blade can be done.  So now I'll talk about how nice this film is and it's nice to have Jacky Chan in a cameo.   So what's the real deal behind this?  An evil vampire named Duke Dekotes (played by Swiss martial artist Mickey Hardt, who to my delight trained with Donnie Yen) has been getting the royal blood of the royal vampires, Kazaf being the last he'll never need to open the "Day for Night" which wil...

Takeru Sato in the Rurouni Kenshin Film

Image
While I'm slightly disappointed that Tori Matsuzaka isn't the one acting as Kenshin Himura for the live Rurouni Kenshin film, however it's still a delight to see Takeru Sato do the role as he did his role in Kamen Rider Den-O as the main character pretty well. I wonder if Yasuko Kobayashi herself could do a live series of Rurouni Kenshin?  Hopefully she will while I hope she recovers from her burnout. My closing thoughts maybe it's pretty much pun intended that he got chosen to be Kenshin... maybe while they might have not been able to get Tori Matsuzaka for the role, they got him maybe to pay tribute to Tori Matsuzaka's role as Shinken Red who was also named Takeru.  Then again, Takeru was also the name of Red Mask.  LOL!
