Chefs Anne Burrell and Jeff Mauro are teaming up once again for “Worst Cooks in America: Love at First Bite.” The romantically themed Food Network will spotlight eligible singles specializing in the tastes of love and is set to premiere Aug. 6.
The eight-episode season will follow Burrell and Mauro as they lead their own team of chefs through a culinary bootcamp. But this time around, most of the challenges have to do with romance. Think French pastries, perfect date night cuisine and a series of dating-inspired challenges such as the Cupid Games, the Bagel-orette and the Inferno Zone. By the series’ end, the most improved chef will be awarded a $25,000 grand prize as well as bragging rights for their mentor.

For those who don’t remember the original, “The Lion Roars 2” is a sequel to the 2002 Hong Kong hit, continuing the period comedy wackiness after a break of some 10 years. The Mainland production sees director Joe Ma (“Love Undercover”) returning along with actress Cecilia Cheung, comedian Xiao Shenyang (“Just Call Me Nobody”) replacing Louis Koo in the male lead role. With support from Xiao Shenyang’s mentor Zhao Benshan, Hui Siu Hung (“I Love Hong Kong 2012”), Victor Huang (“Nightmare”), and Zhang Xinyu (“Flying Swords of Dragon Gate”), the film mixes comedy, romance and Three Kingdoms intrigue in an attempt to serve up more of what made the first film so popular. Cecilia Cheung again plays Ying, a woman disliked in her village for her outspoken and bad-tempered behaviour, not to mention her habit of beating up men who take concubines or cheat on their wives. With her poor father...

“Nightmare” is a film immediately of interest as one of the rare horror efforts to emerge from Mainland China, where pretty much anything even vaguely supernatural is frowned upon by the notoriously strict censors. Trying to serve up the scares despite the rules and regulations is veteran Hong Kong genre director Yip Wai Ying, responsible for several entries in the lengthy “Troublesome Night” series, with a cast that includes actress Zhou Xianxin (“Gao Kao 1977”), Victor Huang, Wu Jianfei (“The Prince of Tennis 2”) and Twins’ Gillian Chung (“The Fantastic Water Babies”) along with fellow popstar Kenny Kwan of Boy’z fame. Zhou Xianxin takes the lead as a young doctor called Fang Lei, who suffers from violent dreams and suspects that she might be a sleepwalker, haunted by memories of her parents’ deaths and stalked by the usual creepy long haired ghost girl. Things in her life get more complicated when...

The previously posted teasers didn’t reveal too much, but I’ve gotta say that the latest trailer for director Zhang Qi’s “The Devil Inside Me” certainly paints a more vivid picture. And while I’ve haven’t been able to locate a proper synopsis for the film — if you know of one, feel free to let me know — the aforementioned clip should give you enough information to form a formidable amount of excitement. Assuming, of course, you enjoy the work of Tony Leung Ka-Fai, which I most certainly do.The film, which also stars Kelly Lin, Anya, Victor Huang, and Ying Da, is scheduled to hit Hong Kong later this year.

The Devil Inside Me
Directed by Zhang Qi
China, 2011
The Devil Inside Me is either one of the all-time, comically bad attempts at a dramatic thriller, or one of the best tongue-in-cheek B-melodrama this side of John Waters. Unfortunately for director Zhang Qi, all signs, including the serious way that the subject matter is handled, point to the former.
The plot would make William Castle proud. Unstable doctor Jiang Mu (Tony Leung) has performed a heart transplant on Lin Yan (Kelly Lin). Little does she know that Jiang has also performed a “memory transplant” giving her the memories and emotions of the donor. As she investigates the cause of her donor’s death, Lin meets Ma Benke (Victor Huang), the deceased’s boyfriend. As both Ma and Jiang fall for Lin her visions of another life become increasing violent and troubling.
The melodramatic twists and turns pile needlessly on top...
