In times like these, Lunar New Year movies are a welcome sight at the 4 Star, which is bringing back the tradition after not showing any last year. What's cool about this double bill - along with "72 Tenants," there's "All's Well, Ends Well Too 2010" - is that it opens in San Francisco the same week both films open in Hong Kong. [I'm so jealous!]
Jacky Cheung in 2 festive films
HONG KONG - HEAVENLY King Jacky Cheung finds himself in two movies this festive season and says he is as stunned as anyone else.
Cheung, who plays a driver in an SMS flirtation with a pianist (Rene Liu) in the star-laden romance Hot Summer Days, is also in the comedy 72 Tenants Of Prosperity.
Speaking from the sidelines of the premiere of Hot Summer Days on Tuesday night, he said: 'I was doing a Chinese New Year movie and a Valentine's Day movie. How was I to know they would be released together?'
It just so happens that this year, Valentine's Day falls on the first day of Chinese New Year.
He said the two films were different and hoped both would do well at the box office.
Hot Summer Days, directed by first-time film-makers Tony Chan and Wing Shya, also stars Nicholas Tse, Barbie Hsu, Daniel Wu and Vivian Hsu.

Lynn Xiong breaks down over controversial magazine report
The title "Gong Cheng Ba Shi" ostensibly means "Eight tactics to capture a city" but could also be a play on Kwok's Mandarin name and mean "Eight tactics used to capture Aaron Kwok" instead.
