Omar Khan's? It's OK

Advantages: Good central location, pleasant surroundings, tasty food at good prices
Disadvantages: Service a little slow at times, average for Bradford

...Omar Khan's is a fairly traditional Indian restaurant situated in the centre of Bradford. We were in town for a weekend of curry and had eaten lunch that day at a very modern establishment so I wanted to go for the more traditional British "curry house" in the evening. I found Omar Khan's listed on the Visit Bradford website and a look at the restaurants own website was encouraging. The restaurant is situated on the south side of the city centre, beside the national Television and Media Museum and the Alhambra Theatre. The restaurant has a small car-park but there are other car-parks nearby and it's a five minute walk to the train and bus stations at Bradford Interchange. It wasn't immediately obvious where the main entrance was as we approached the building from the side and climbed up a small flight of steep steps. The initial...

Review of Omar Khan's Restaurant, Bradford

Here I am Omar, have you got something for me ?

Advantages: Just about the nicest chocolate bar out there.
Disadvantages: Send Oldchem a bit strange in the head it would seem

...Met Sally moment here). Imagine yourself dressed as those 60's models were, like a member of an Eastern harem waiting for Omar Sharif! (Oh all right, I suppose that is taking it a bit too far - divulging my fantasies now!)) See enclosed photo This little rectangle of exotic loveliness is not even THAT naughty for a once in a while treat. Each bar contains 185 calories and 3.6g of fat (I just won't mention the fact that one of these bars represents 36% of your recommended daily sugar allowance!) They are 92% fat free, and 60% less fat than most chocolate bars though! There are other varieties of chocolate covered Turkish Delight bars out there, even one from Cadbury's, but none have managed to rich the high standard that Frys has. As I said initially I don't indulge too often in chocolate, but if anyone is looking for me, I...

Review of Fry's Turkish Delight

Omar God! A great sequel

Advantages: Fleetingly Brilliant - Open Ended - Great Story
Disadvantages: Not a patch on the original - 'Dumbed Down'

..., frustrated with its perceived lacklustre strategy of the The Order. Highest on its list of priorities is seeing an outright ban on human enhancement; a ?Return to Purity?. The Omar: - Essentially a black market arms dealer. An uber-enhanced race of people, their members are so heavily infused with Nanites that their appearance has been altered beyond recognition. Subsequently, they wear strange apparatus to hide and compliment this. Due to their massive reliance on technology, their members also possess a shared consciousness, in order to pass information on customers instantly. Essentially, the game is based on with whom you decide to pledge your allegiance. Throughout the game, you will be contacted by each group, keen to utilise your exceptional powers to their own advantage. Each party is as persuasive as the other, often leaving you in...

Review of Deus Ex: Invisible War (Xbox)

There's real gold on that thar dome

Advantages: Visually satisfying
Disadvantages: none

...You cannot miss the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque in the centre of Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. It is a beautiful white building with a wonderful golden real goldleaf dome. I think this is the nicest mosque I have seen. I was told that the architect was British - I'm not sure if this is true, but maybe he somehow made it more visually accessible to a British eye. It was built in 1958, and named after the present Sultan's father. It is reported to have cost US$5 million at that time. It's set in grounds with an artificial lagoon complete with concrete boat. You cannot go on this but you can walk round the grounds. It is acceptible for visitors to go inside at certain times - visiting is closed or limited on Thursdays and Fridays and you'd need to check out other times - you can't go in during prayer times. All this is if you...

The Great Gold hunt

Advantages: Great action scenes and a very interesting story line...
Disadvantages: Not many

...This was a Super pana vision film released in 70mm wide screen, an action packed Western melodrama based on a folklore of the Ancient American Indians. MacKenna's Gold is a lavish film, and quite an entertaining one too. Shot in 1968, it boasts of some excellent color photography with wonderful panoramic visuals.. It had some of the biggest stars of those days like Gregory peck, Omar Sheriff ,Telly Savales, Eli Wallaich, Anthony Gale, Camilla Sparv among a host of othres... The Film MecKennas Gold is the story of a group of people looking for a legendary valley of Gold and how the lure of gold corrupts .The opening song 'Old Turkey Buzzard ' which recurs through the film was sung by José Feliciano and was composed by Quincy Jones with lyrics by Freddie Douglas. The film opens with a narration by Victor Jory about an Apache legend...

Review of MacKenna's Gold (DVD)

Juice Film Review

Advantages: Acting, Pacing
Disadvantages: Story may be overly-familiar for some

...Ernest R. Dickerson makes his directorial debut with Juice, a story of four black youths living in a world of Hip-Hop and violence. For them, music and the dangers of gunplay are coincided. The two leads in the film are best friends, but have contradicting ambitions. Q (Omar Epps) has a passion to develop his turntable skills in the world, while Bishop (Tupac Shakur) is becoming tired of the harassment on the streets by the local gangsters that he goes in search of a weapon to earn respect. The story is well paced by Dickerson: The character development is sufficient as it provokes a reaction from the viewer in regards to the glamorization of violence within the urban lifestyle. We notice the real struggles and consequences of being young, black and poor. When the characters feel the need to obtain a gun, there's a sense...

Review of Juice (DVD)

An Explosive Film

Advantages: Don Cheadle, well written story, brilliantly gripping
Disadvantages: None

...Samir Horn is an ex-US Army officer and also used to work for US Special Forces too, so it's a surprise when he appears to be linked with a terrorist group intent on blowing up bombs across America in revenge for their people. FBI Agent Roy Clayton is investigating the suspected terrorist group, and together with his colleague Max Archer, the pair have to put together the pieces and work out how Samir is involved. Is he really turning against his country and being led by his religion? Will Omar be able to trust Samir fully when he shows signs of getting cold feet? Since watching Body of Lies, both my fiance and I have been into somewhat grittier films than we would usually watch together. I spent ages on Amazon looking for something that would suit, and then I stumbled across Traitor. I really like Don Cheadle as an actor, so that...

Review of Traitor (DVD)

hmmmm

Advantages: all round good entertainment
Disadvantages: is it a comedy or a horror?

...Scream 2 follows the same basic formula as the first but isn't, in my opinion, as good as the first was, that is not to put down this film because it was very good on it's own merits, but no compared to the first. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) is now in college and is once again the target of a bloodthirsty mask-wearing, knife-wielding, psychotic killer. However this time the body count is higher and the deaths are more outrageous and elaborate, which are the traits of a sequel, as noted by one of the victims. Also starring Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Jamie Kenedy and Omar Epps. The Scream films as a whole are comedy type horrors and this is not disappointing as a comedy, it had me and my friends rolling around in laughter (mainly at Dewy, Arquette) as well as hiding in fear. Rated 18...

Review of Scream 2 (DVD)

AKA Terror on the Britannic

Advantages: Great cast, very gripping
Disadvantages: Shows its age sadly

...Richard Harris plays Fallon, a bomb disposal expert. A man weary of his job, his world and his life. He lives on the edge where every second on the job may be his last so he does as he pleases. This is Harris playing himself as hard living, hard drinking and on the edge of today - not caring whether tomorrow comes or not. A bunch of bombs are discovered on a luxury cruise ship, the bomber is a man calling himself Juggernaut who demands half a million pounds (hey, it was a lot of money in the 1970's!) but they fly in Fallon and his team, parachuting out of a Hercules looking just like Action Man as this was made before the SAS stormed the Iranian Embassy so no-one really knew about the SAS at the time so Commandos were the most exciting things available then. The ship is commanded by screen legend Omar Shariff and has his loyal helpful...
