It makes me feel bad for criticizing his acting - though I'm sure that whatever is said on this site won't keep him up at night. Hi Kim, I did get a photo of Michelle with her new hairdo, but it's rather blurry. To see what she looks like, you should look here: http://tinyurl.com/lpfu2k Just scroll down a little. I like both Nick and Nic but I do think Nick was better in Beast Stalker. I cannot comment on the hotness of either.

He is very interesting on film ("charasmatic"); is hotness required to be good and talented?

I don't know why people like Nick Cheung that much since he neither has the talent, nor the charisma nor the looks but to me he is like this person who is in the films because the good and talented ones didn't want those roles. (I'm aware that this is irrational but this is the way I feel) Leon can not really act but the man has a calming aura and is inexplicably attractive. This pics and captions are hillarious though, thanks Kozo. Nice update, you should do this more often :)

With the exception of "A Fighter's Blues" for His Lordship Lau (and possibly "Divergence" for Kwokkers), I can't re-call a single time when facial hair has 'worked' on the 4 Sky Kings. Next question: when will see the now-matured Ekin Cheng sporting some theatrical bumfluff? Or will we have to settle for "Forest of Death"?

Part of a director's job (if he does it well) is to communicate to the actors exactly what he wants them to do and to help them do it when they need guidance. Tse's Beast Stalker meltdown therefore should be (in a perfect world) exactly what Lam intended. If not, then Lam gaffed by not getting some kind of professional help (e.g. an acting coach) in there to stop the madness. Either way, I'm now a little more inclined to blame Lam for the cheesiness, especially since it fits right in with Beast Stalker's stereotype storyline and one-dimensional characters (the action was awesome!!; all the rest was frankly...ehhhh...). I'm not defending Tse because I am non-committal about him. I'm just saying, since the director is responsible for controlling the emotional volume of a scene and of a whole film, then I think I have to cut Tse some slack and put some of the blame on Lam.
