CookingUp a Storm follows the unravelling of Sarah's marriage to the self-centred Colin and the beginning of her new life at the beautiful estate in Newnham Magna. Her eccentric landlord Kit, gets in over his head with a TV producer and what follows is a gentle and humorous farce which delivers that delicious falling-in-love excitement
8/10 Unexpectedly heartwarming and visually stunning I don't know what "BasicLogic" is talking about in his review. The only thing that makes sense in what he said is the fact that there are unimportant male characters that are "underwhelming", but their role are so small that it doesn't even matter. Also, why comment on script/dialogue when you clearly are from the US and are probably reading someone's subtitles? That is, in my opinion, something particularly dumb. Better to have no opinion at all, than to simply complain about something without rhyme or movie is very well paced.. It didn't feel slow at all and actors in Asian movies tend to talk more quickly anyway. It has a very nice structure even for a "worn out" plot and is far richer than I expected. It is also visually stunning, and the ending was not only packed with emotions, it was very satisfying in the way the main character handled himself. The cast is super likable and well would recommend this to anyone that likes a movie with a bit rivalry and personal growth. I'm quite glad I watched it even after reading it's short summary and that "simple" looking poster. 13 out of 22 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

Permalink Familiar yet unexpectedly poignant and heartwarming, this culinary-themed drama is the year's best Lunar New Year offering 'Cook Up A Storm' may be arriving later than its peers, but it is easily the most satisfying CNY movie we've seen this year. As much as it may be about the rivalry between the Cantonese street cook Sky Ko Nicholas Tse and the French-trained Michelin-starred chef Paul Ahn Jung Yong-hwa, this gastronomic-themed drama is more compellingly about Sky and his father Mountain Ko Anthony Wong, the latter an internationally recognized Chinese chef who had left his son in the care of his buddy Uncle Seven Ge You two decades ago in order to pursue his culinary ambitions worldwide. It isn't hard to guess that the father-son estrangement is where the narrative ultimately leads to meaning therefore that the supposed enmity between Sky and Paul is no more than a red herring, but that doesn't diminish the poignance of their eventual reconciliation, which is also what makes the movie surprisingly formula would have it, the conflicts here between the respective pair of rivals are resolved through cooking competitions. Underlining that between Sky and Paul is the threat an obnoxious land developer Chairman Li Wang Tai Li brandishes about taking back the humble diner Seven if the former loses the International Chef Challenge Competition – although the fact that Chairman Li owns the fine dining restaurant where Paul is head chef at makes the bargain an unfair one to begin with. Incidentally, their clash is also cast as one between tradition and modernity – not only because Seven and the Spring Avenue neighbourhood where it is located are but the only historical vestiges left in the middle of gleaming skyscrapers, but also because of Paul's frequent refrain that Chinese cuisine had stagnated through the centuries. Likewise, the enmity between Sky and Mountain also culminates in a culinary showdown, albeit in a more prestigious World Supreme Chef Competition at Macau's glittering Studio City Event even though the presentation is familiar, the flavours remain just as delightful. It's no secret that the premise is inspired by Nicholas Tse's cooking show 'Chef Nic', and just as that successful food travelogue, the sight of watching professional chefs at work on their craft is truly one to behold. Just as delectable is the showcase of East and West cuisine – the former presented here with a beauty and elegance rarely seen, and the latter exotic and fascinating in and of itself. The filmmakers have here taken to heart an axiom which the sagely Seven imparts – that the mark of a truly successful chef is his or her ability to create a dish that can carry its flavours from the tongue to the heart. Oh yes, more than the tantalizing sight of food is the unexpectedly moving reunion between the father-son pair here, which is guaranteed to leave you these characters are played by Nicholas Tse and Anthony Wong also makes their on screen relationship even more compelling, the latter in particular injecting gravitas into a supporting role that could have ended up as mere caricature in the hands of a lesser actor. Not forgetting of course the wonderful Ge You, whose presence alone brings class and dignity to an underwritten part that could have been better developed to illustrate the surrogate relationship between Sky and Seven. Indeed, some of the most memorable scenes are constructed between and around these veterans as they trade barbs and jibes at one another, leaving the rest of the performers either shrill such as Jim Chim's sycophantic right-hand man to Chairman Li or just bland such as Seven's restaurant manager Uni Tiffany Tang and Paul's girlfriend cum culinary associate Mayo Bai Bing.Truth be told, 'Cook Up A Storm' serves up a recipe that local viewers will no doubt recognize from past CNY offerings such as 'Let's Eat!' and Stephen Chow's classic 'God of Cookery'. But there is every intention on director Raymond Yip and his writer Manfred Wong's part for their latest to be comfort food over the CNY holiday, just like the familiar but nevertheless joyous dishes we often partake over reunion dinners and with the crucial ingredient of family togetherness. In that regard, there is much reason to embrace the joy, warmth and exuberance of this familiar yet heartwarming movie – and like we said at the start, it may have arrived later than its peers, but this is also easily the most enjoyable Spring Festival movie this year. 7 out of 14 found this helpful.

It was my fondness of the Asian cinema that made me pick up "Cook Up a Storm" aka "Jue zhan shi shen" the moment I found it, and I had never heard about the movie prior to finding it. I had no idea what it was about, aside from something revolving around a food theme, based on the movie's cover. And I didn't even know who was in the it was actually a nice surprise to see that Anthony Chau-Sang Wong and Nicholas Tse were in this movie. But that was essentially the extend of anything even remotely good about the storyline in was so weak and almost non-existing that it was excruciatingly boring to sit through the movie. Granted, I gave up about after about around 45 minutes of watching the movie. I just couldn't take anymore of it of the sheer and utter boredom that was trotting on in a very monotone pace on the movie is about pretentious chefs and their lust to prepare equally pretentious dishes that no one cares about. It made for the most pointless and inadequate of story lines that I have seen in a long, long time in an Asian movie. And the characters in the movie don't have an ounce of likability about them, so you don't really care about their struggles, victories and personal is the appeal about watching two pretentious chefs preparing dishes that no one cares about on the screen? And even more so, why did it have to be made into a movie? Wouldn't it be sufficient to just turn on the TV and watch any of the numerous cooking TV shows that mar the prime time?"Cook Up a Storm" is not a movie that I will return to finish at any time in the future, because it offered nothing of any worth, value or found no enjoyment in the storyline concocted by writers Jingling Li, Yi Liu, Manfred Wong and presented by director Wai Man Yip. Not every single Asian movie is going to be a fantastic movie, and "Cook Up a Storm" proves that sometimes Asian cinema throws a wide swing and an even bigger miss. 6 out of 27 found this helpful.

Permalink 8/10 Basically Chinese live action of Shokugeki no Soma "Cook Up a Storm" is basically a Chinese live-action of the anime Shokugeki no Soma! The beginning of this movie was amazing with beautiful dishes, artistic effects, and perfect footage. The casting and acting and dialogue was also great. The main character Sky Ko is a lot like Soma who is determined to be a chef and runs a small family restaurant while his rival, Paul Ahn is a French-trained chef. The two are rivals and end up competing and trying to out cook each would give the first half of this movie 10/10 because it was near perfect but unfortunately the end of the film seemed really rushed/unsatisfying. The second half of the movie seemed like they lost the budget ie. food was a lot sloppier, rushed ending. However, I would still recommend this movie to Shokugeki no Soma fans - it's essentially the exact same story with AWESOME visual effects! 4 out of 10 found this helpful. Was this review helpful?

Permalink 5/10 Typical Chinese comedy Warning Spoilers COOK UP A STORM is a typical lighthearted comedy from China about a couple of rival chefs and their battles in a cook-off contest. A lot of the goodwill arising from it comes from the presence of the likeable Nicholas Tse in the lead role, and the way his volatile relationship with his father played by a more-than-welcome Anthony Wong pans out is probably the most interesting part of it. The battle-of-skills style comedy is quite predictable, although there's a lot of admittedly well-shot 'food porn' on display so foodies will enjoy it. 1 out of 4 found this helpful.

The usual problems that the Chinese movie script writers and their directors could never improve Lousy and child movie ideas and concept, weak and childish plots and scenarios, bad and pretentious dialog writing, terrible, weak, talent-less, unnecessary supporting actors, bad costumes and make-up skills, over the top and overkill of the dishes in this lame film are simply beautiful and amazing, but in the end, you would find out those western cuisines are so pretentious, not as good as a stir-fried dish. The young Chinese chef was nicely and naturally performed, others, were simply ruined by the childish and pretentious screen-play. All the supporting characters, especially some those male ones, were so obviously without any acting talents and were further ruined by the ridiculous script and dialog. This film is just a bit better tolerable than the stupidest film of the decade The Great Wall. 4 out of 42 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

"Cook Up a Storm" is a Comedy - Drama movie in which we watch two chefs, a Cantonese street cook and a French-trained Michelin-starred chef preparing for a very famous cooking competition. Soon they figure out that they have more in common than what they enjoyed this movie because it had a very interesting plot and contained some very clever plot twists that I did not expect. The direction which was made by Wai-Man Yip it was good and he succeeded on presenting his main characters very well, something that helped the audience follow their story, better understanding them and even relate to them. In addition to this, the interpretations of both Nicholas Tse who played as Gao Tian Ci and Yong-hwa Jung who played as Paul were very good and the differences of their characters created a nice result. All in all, I have to say that "Cook Up a Storm" is a nice movie and I recommend everyone to watch it. 0 out of 0 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

Burna Boy makes history here, becoming the first African artist to headline a UK stadium. The Grammy award-winning, Nigeria-born artist has popularised Afro-fusion – the blending of Afrobeats with pop, dancehall, hip-hop and R&B influences – for more than a decade and, long cherished by Britain’s African and Caribbean communities, has edged into the UK mainstream with starry collaborations Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Jorja Smith and summer 2023’s ubiquitous Top 5 solo single Last Last. Embodying sonic influences that shape an entire continent, this show affirms African music’s place as a staple in British talking drums, saxophone licks and expressive moves from a captivating white-clad troupe of dancers pre-empt Burna’s arrival. The stage set is a fairground – dubbed the Love, Damini Fair after his most recent album – complete with a golden merry-go-round that turns to reveal the man himself in a bold orange jumpsuit blowing in the breeze. Kickstarting a two-hour set, it’s clear that the star’s swagger – his wide grin and explosive movements in tandem with a vivacious band – rests on gratitude, articulated in generic but affectingly heartfelt overtures to the crowd “Words can’t explain my emotions right now … there’s nothing else I’d dreamed more of.”He starts with a series of early releases including Don Gorgon and Tonight, showing what led to this moment. It wasn’t until 2018’s Outside that he became more broadly famous, and the tracks seem to go over the majority of the crowd’s heads, so he sings directly to those who recognise this early work; through Burna Boy’s buoyancy – charismatically skipping across the stage – the rest of the audience warms up few issues arise, out of his control, such as poor sound quality which occasionally makes crowd murmurings louder than the performance itself, and a fight breaking out in the golden circle. Unfettered, that buoyant energy re-engages the crowd again and again, and theatrics continue as pole dancers assist him for Secret. By the standout track, It’s Plenty, he is truly in his groove, and begins the song suspended in the air beside a table of cakes which recall the Love, Damini album cover. As he sings the opening verse a cappella, the audience takes over and Burna is clearly taken aback, that swagger overcome by … J Hus, left, and Burna Boy. Photograph Burak Çıngı/RedfernsJ Hus appears live for the first time in years to co-perform Play Play and Sekkle Down; Dave and Stormzy also each belt out their collaborative hits. The final guest, Jamaican vocalist Popcaan, brings a second wind to the set, and the duo’s obvious chemistry affirms the fact that Black music is borderless, echoing the words of Burna’s mother from the 2019 BET awards “You were Africans before you became anything else.” Closing out the night is Last Last, Burna Boy brazenly jumping through smoke cannons as the whole stadium mixes English and Yoruba on the hook, in a joyously debauched call for weed and alcohol “I need igbo and shayo!”Burna Boy successfully unifies the diaspora and wider British community for an evening. His kaleidoscopic setlist bursts with pride in his heritage, fanbase and collaborators, making for a warm and communal confirmation of star status.

CN121.9 million (China) [1] US$18.1 million (worldwide) Cook Up a Storm ( Chinese: 决战食神 lit: Clash of the Culinary Gods) is a 2017 Hong Kong-Chinese culinary drama film directed by Raymond Yip and starring Nicholas Tse, Jung Yong-hwa, Ge You, Tiffany Tang, Michelle Bai and Anthony Wong. It was released in China on 10 February 2017.
Cook Up a Storm 決戰食神 is a Hong Kong movie specially catered to premiere during Lunar Chinese New Year early this year 2017. The comedy film comprise of various actors from different country and Chinese regions. We have actor Nicholas Tse from Hong Kong, Jung Yong Hwa of CNBLUE from South Korea, Ge You and Tiffany Tang from China. It has been a long time since I have watched a Hong Kong movie. They haven’t made many quality movies or dramas, and hence, we broke up. If it weren’t for Jung Yong Hwa and his disappearance from the screen for almost 3 years, I wouldn’t be bothered. Besides, from the preview trailer, the show didn’t look that bad… PLOT Paul Ahn Jung Yong Hwa is a Korean-Chinese chef who excels in French cuisine. He decided to take up an offer as the executive chef in a newly open French restaurant in Hong Kong. His girlfriend/assistant chef Mi Yu Michelle Bai also follows. Opposite Paul’s restaurant is a 30 years old Chinese restaurant owned by Uncle Qi Ge You, but currently run by his student, Gao Tian Ci Nicholas Tse. Paul and Tian Ci’s rivalry began on the day they first met at the fish market, and it worsen when customers from both sides hinder each others’ businesses. At the very same time, the neighbourhood is undergoing redevelopment, the old shops and restaurants are threathened to relocate, including Qi Restaurant. Both Paul and Tian Ci coincidentally join a cooking contest, hence it was decided that the winner gets to stay and loser must pack their bags and close the restaurant. However, Tian Ci had another reason for joining the contest; he wanted to prove himself to his father, Gao Feng Anthony Wong, the 2 consecutive winner and holder of the title, Culinary God. COMMENTS The good First off, so glad to see Yong Hwa on screen acting again after The Three Musketeers. More good news is looks like he will return with a 12 episodes drama, The Package, to be air on jTBC. It’s pre-produced; he and his co-stars have already completed filming so let’s hope the show get an air date soon. 🙂 The not-so-great and the bad parts After not watching any Hong Kong movies for over 10 years, I kind of wish they would give me something new and refreshing. That didn’t happen. The execution of the plot is very typical and the only solution the scriptwriter can come up with solving the problem is—let’s have both chefs do a one-on-one on knife skills in the middle of the street. Like really? It’s sooo…I don’t know, gangster style? It reminds me of Young & Dangerous where all characters in it can’t sit down and communicate, everything must be solved with a fist and knife. In this instance, there was no fighting between the chefs, but the people around them would have and behave just like thugs. I am hardly convinced a well-educated man and a 3-stars chef would agree to showcase his skills on a middle of the street. Surely Paul has more class than this! I wonder if Yong Hwa is cursed in his acting career. In the beginning of his projects, his characters seem equally as important as the leading actor, but when we reach the latter half, his presence or character’s story diminished and his screen time reduced. It’s the same for this movie, too. It would have been more interesting if Paul and Tian Ci inspire each other and work together to create a fusion of Chinese-French cuisine, and prove themselves against those who betray or look down on them. I didn’t mind they added the father and son’s story, but shift in focus in the end to the whole father and son’s contest was ridiculous. One of the problems with Hong Kong movies is their obsession in always making their main lead look cool’ that they forget in certain scenarios, there are other aspects more important that one must uphold a professional chef should show his professionalism, respect and good ethics. Tian Ci walked off the stage twice in two separate contests. He should have been disqualified on the account of disrespecting his fellow opponenets, the panel judges, the cooking contest organisation and audiences. Even though this is a show’, I can’t overlook the director’s execution of both these scenes. The attempt of looking cool actually makes his character comes off offensively impolite. CONCLUSION There is no lasting strong impression in the acting department. The script lacks depth and innovation. But it’s actually not that bad of a movie, and it’s a no brainer sort of entertainment good for relaxing and winding down an exhausting day. But it’s just not a movie where you would go away feeling Wow, that’s awesome’ and want to go back for more. It was forgettable. I do, however, like the presentation of the food—Chinese or French, either way, I wouldn’t mind be the judges on the panel. Source Mtime

I watched it on a plane to China, and everything, from the story to the characters to the visuals and music, arrested my attention- personally, I like watching food shows, so that was most of the reason I clicked on this drama, but the characters quickly became my favorite part of the movie. My only complaint is that it's too short! It's not that original an idea, and it's not that shocking of an execution, but between the visuals and the characters' interactions, I think you'd be hard-pressed to say this movie moves slowly or isn't interesting. It's definitely worth a watch, even if you're just looking to kill an hour and a half! Read More Was this review helpful to you? Completed Adeuxalice2 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value This movie is fast food The premise of this movie is very simple. East vs. West - whose food can truly be considered best? One of the many East-West dichotomy movies to come out in recent years with the main goal of proving that Eastern culture is just as good or in some aspects superior to Western culture. So let's get the biggest problem with this movie out of the way first The writing is absolutely atrocious. So much so that I genuinely had to pause the movie more than once to take a second to take in just how badly written those scenes were. Did anyone try to read this script out loud before subjecting the poor cast to this? It reads as if the writers had about two days to put together one of the most generic, over-the-top and cheesy cooking rivalry movies I've ever seen. The main two actors are really doing their most to turn this into something, anything at all, but not even the admittedly charming rivalry/ friendship between the two main cooks can save this script from its sheer stupidity. The worst offenders by far are the flashback scenes that get sprinkled in here and there that are also accompanied by some of the most generic violin pieces that give me "googled royalty free sad music" energy. But with all that being said, despite the massive script problems and the lacklustre everything else, this movie is extremely entertaining. I wasn't bored once while watching it. The movie gets you to genuinely root for the protagonist, admittedly by using cheap and lazy bad guy stereotypes instead of genuine character development, but it does its job. The cinematography is also at some points genuinely beautiful. I'm pretty sure half the movie's budget was used up only on the orgasmic food porn scenes that make up about half the movie. They're gorgeous to look at. This and the charming performance of the main actors make rescue this movie from being simply shit and catapult it into "terrible but I can't stop watching" territory. So basically, this is the McDonald's Combo Meal of movies. Read More Was this review helpful to you?

CookUp A Storm isn't bad, but it isn't good either. It's definitely a visual treat, with its extreme close-ups of spices sizzling in the kitchen, and the chefs' adept movements as they swiftly debone and toss a whole fillet around. But it really stops there. The film progresses and ends as predictably as expected.

Kevin Seifert, ESPN Staff WriterJun 8, 2023, 1004 AM ETCloseKevin Seifert is a staff writer who covers the Minnesota Vikings and the NFL at ESPN. Kevin has covered the NFL for over 20 years, joining ESPN in 2008. He was previously a beat reporter for the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Washington Times. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia. You can follow him via Twitter Vikings released Dalvin Cook on Friday, ending the running back's six-year tenure in had made one more effort to trade Cook, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday, before processing his Miami Dolphins are expected to have an interest in signing Cook, sources told Schefter. Cook can sign with any team after 401 ET who turns 28 in August, was set to take up $ million in cap space for 2023 and was due to earn $11 million if he spent the season with the Vikings. Those are big numbers for an aging running back who surpassed 1,500 touches in his career last Vikings owe Cook $2 million, but by releasing him after June 1, they save $9 million in cap space while taking on $ million in dead money on their 2023 cap."I hold Dalvin in the highest regard and am grateful for his contributions on and off the field," coach Kevin O'Connell said in a statement. "Dalvin is a tough, dynamic player and a respected leader by his teammates, which was evident by his multiple seasons as a team captain. As a finalist for the 2022 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, Dalvin's approach to the game and his commitment to sportsmanship is clearly respected across the league. We appreciate Dalvin's positivity, energy and leadership and will be pulling for him in the future."Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel declined to comment about Cook's availability when asked Thursday and complimented his current group of running backs, which includes veterans Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Myles Gaskin and rookie Devon Achane."Overall, very happy with the way they've practiced, very happy with their competitive camaraderie," McDaniel said. "They are all trying to be the best, but they're not doing it in spite of each other and they recognize that each one of them can help them get better, so it's been a cool camp for them."The long-rumored split seemed certain after the Vikings re-signed Cook's longtime backup, Alexander Mattison, to a contract that included $ million in full guarantees over the next few seasons. Given multiple opportunities after that move, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah refused to speculate on whether Cook would be on the Vikings' 2023 roster."Dalvin has been an incredible leader for this organization for years, and I quickly noticed how respected he is among everyone in our building," Adofo-Mensah said in a statement. "I'm fortunate to have been around such an enjoyable, talented and hardworking person like him over the last year."Mattison is expected to take over as the team's primary tailback, with 2022 backups Kene Nwangwu and Ty Chandler - and possibly rookie DeWayne McBride - competing for the No. 2 role. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said last month during organized team activities that Mattison has been demonstrating "that all-three-down kind of ownership that he's been capable of for a long time."Cook, a second-round draft pick in 2017, struggled to stay on the field for much of the early part of his career in Minnesota. His rookie season ended after four games because of a torn ACL, and an assortment of other injuries cost him between two and five games in each of the next four seasons. A chronic shoulder injury ultimately forced him to wear a harness for long stretches of his nevertheless managed to produce four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons from 2019 to 2022 and scored a combined 29 rushing touchdowns during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. He also proved to be an effective receiver, averaging 42 receptions per season after his rookie managed to start every game in 2022 for the first time in his career, even after separating his shoulder in Week 3. But he finished with an average of touches and 86 yards from scrimmage per game in O'Connell's new scheme - both the lowest since he became a full-time player in did knock off two of the six longest runs of his career in 2022 a 53-yard score in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins and an 81-yard touchdown in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills. On the latter, he recorded a top speed of mph, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, the seventh-fastest speed of any ball carrier in his efficiency numbers, which measure the frequency of carries that produce a positive outcome, dipped noticeably. He led the NFL with 62 carries that either lost or did not gain a yard. And as ESPN's Bill Barnwell noted, only of his carries gained a positive total of yards over expectation in Next Gen Stats' model, the second-lowest rate among running backs with at least 200 carries in underwent shoulder surgery Feb. 14 in hopes of avoiding the chronic separations he has had. At the time, the Vikings said he would be fully recovered in time for the regular season. He had not been participating in the voluntary portion of the Vikings' offseason program, and the timing of his departure means there will be no clash over whether he reports for mandatory minicamp later this month.

Completed Adeuxalice2 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value This movie is fast food The premise of this movie is very simple. East vs. West - whose food can truly be considered best? One of the many East-West dichotomy movies to come out in recent years with the main goal of proving that Eastern culture is just as good or in some aspects superior to Western culture. So let's get the biggest problem with this movie out of the way first The writing is absolutely atrocious. So much so that I genuinely had to pause the movie more than once to take a second to take in just how badly written those scenes were. Did anyone try to read this script out loud before subjecting the poor cast to this? It reads as if the writers had about two days to put together one of the most generic, over-the-top and cheesy cooking rivalry movies I've ever seen. The main two actors are really doing their most to turn this into something, anything at all, but not even the admittedly charming rivalry/ friendship between the two main cooks can save this script from its sheer stupidity. The worst offenders by far are the flashback scenes that get sprinkled in here and there that are also accompanied by some of the most generic violin pieces that give me "googled royalty free sad music" energy. But with all that being said, despite the massive script problems and the lacklustre everything else, this movie is extremely entertaining. I wasn't bored once while watching it. The movie gets you to genuinely root for the protagonist, admittedly by using cheap and lazy bad guy stereotypes instead of genuine character development, but it does its job. The cinematography is also at some points genuinely beautiful. I'm pretty sure half the movie's budget was used up only on the orgasmic food porn scenes that make up about half the movie. They're gorgeous to look at. This and the charming performance of the main actors make rescue this movie from being simply shit and catapult it into "terrible but I can't stop watching" territory. So basically, this is the McDonald's Combo Meal of movies. Read More Was this review helpful to you? .
