Lacking in Hollywood Glamour

Advantages: One of a kind, unique memorabilia
Disadvantages: Overpriced, noisy

...My daughter and I had a trip to London last weekend and decided to try Planet Hollywood. I am neither a fan of fast food or particularly enamoured by Hollywood, but I thought perhaps it would be a spectacle - I had in mind the restaurant that John Travolta and Winona Rider go to in Pulp Fiction. Looking at the website, it looked like it would be busy, especially on a Saturday so we decided to go for an early meal between lunch and dinner and see if we were lucky to get a table. There is only one Planet Hollywood in the UK and it is in Coventry Street, close to Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. For some strange reason Coventry Street wasn't on the map that I had printed out, so I asked at an information booth in Leicester Square. As it turned out, this was a bit of a mistake, as the girl there was not a local (Spanish by...

Review of Planet Hollywood, London

Planet Horrible

Advantages: photographer, decor, music
Disadvantages: poor quality food, high price, bad service

...As you can imagine a day at Disneyland consumes and awful lot of energy, hot dog stalls are hideously pricey and so by the time it gets to evening you'll be keeling over and hallucentating about food. My friends and I had all decided in the morning that we'd eat at Planet Hollywood so we made a beeline for this restaurant which is placed just by the entrance to the parks. Its exterior design is the same as it is everywhere else so it is easily recognizable. I'd never eaten in any of the other restaurants in the chain so I was quite excited to try the food as I'd heard it was good. Much to my dismay I'd heard wrong. The restaurant was heaving, which meant we had to wait for a table. However, the bar was nice, the decor is interesting and gives you something to look at as you are waiting for your table. My friends and I spent our time...

Planet hollywood nyc

Advantages: Interesting things to look at.
Disadvantages: expensive

...I went to planet hollywood twice while in new york once for drinks on the first night and then another night for dinner. We didn't have any wait to be seated and our waiter was very polite and helpful. We did wait a while for him to fetch our beers but he seemed to have to serve half of the resturant alone. Decided on the captain crunch chicken for the appetiser and it was really nice but for the price you only get 3 strips for about $8. For the main course i had the chicken parmagaina it was a ok dish but nothing special. my sister had the vegatarin pasta dish and was happy with her choice. With drinks our bill came to around $70 which for 2 of us seemed very expensive for what we had. Planet Hollywood is the same which ever one you go to be it london, paris ,orlando the displays might be a little differant but the general...

Review of Planet Hollywood, New York

Bollywood/Hollywood - Fairly Average Stuff!

Advantages: Entertaining enough way to kill just over 100 minutes
Disadvantages: You won't want to watch it more than once

...Bollywood Hollywood is a Bollywood style English language film released in 2002 with a 12 certification. Rahul Seth is a millionaire living in Toronto with his widowed mother, paternal grandmother, younger sister Twinky, who?s about to be married and school-aged brother Govind. Rahul has his own bachelor pad but is madly in love with Canadian woman Kimberly who his mother and grandmother wholly disapprove of as they want him to marry an Indian girl preferably from their village back in India. Sadly for Rahul; Kimberly dies in a freak accident and his mother insists that he must at least get engaged before his sister?s wedding or it won?t take place. Twinky admits to her brother that she is pregnant so he has to take drastic action. He meets Sue in a bar and she admits she?s an escort, he assumes she?s Spanish, so he ?hires? her to...

great food and great atmosphere

Advantages: food is good
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

...When I went to Disney last year we pre booked day days meal vouchers for Planet Hollywood in the Disney Village. As we had booked the whole package through a tour operator we booked the vouchers with them. Each voucher cost £13 per person and this was for a 'Pretty Woman' meal voucher which meant that we could have a main meal from a set selection and a desert plus a drink. Considering cost of meals to buy once you are at Disney we decided this would be a good option to have prebooked as it would save us having to spend as much cash whilst there. We were glad we had done this as first of all the food was excellent - a decent amount of choice available to choose form and when we did get our food the portion was pretty big, hence we did not go hungry!! We both had a burger option and they were tasty and served with fries and a side...

Planet Time Square

Advantages: Very decent portions
Disadvantages: Not very New Yorky

...I recently visited New York and our first place of call for eats was Planet Hollywood Time Square. Now entering the place was great, you had all the memorabilia, which was really interesting. You walked up the stairs and into the bar area and up to the further floor. It was all very facinating and even the large black man in the toilet offering hand towels was mildly interesting yet intimidating. Once sat down I felt as though I was in a McDonalds. I had looked at the interesting Terminator Bike and now found myself sat at a chequered table with a music channel playing in the background, surrounded by Baseball pictures and records. At this point I felt as though my time in New York could have been better spent than in a glammed up Maccy D's. But I thought, I'm on holiday lets have fun! The waiter came over and I ordered...

Pig's Planet

Advantages: Easy, cheapish, delivery, choice
Disadvantages: Pig's wishlist is endless

...~~*~~ Pet Planet ~~*~~ What Pig wants, Pig generally gets. The chocolate Labrador with a very small brain is somewhat spoilt but at least she?s a happy puppy. It?s not like she has her own credit card yet (she?s only 2), so nearly all of her ?wish-list? has to be purchased with my money and cos I?m a tight witch, I?ll scour the internet for any bargain going. I first discovered Pet Planet when Pig was only a twinkle in her daddy?s eye and when I naively believed I would soon have a beautiful and delicate puppy called Doughnut (her name change came about primarily because her nostrils grew before the rest of her and she looked remarkably like a pot-bellied piglet). Like any good mother, I wanted my home to be ready for the arrival and because dog stuff ain?t cheap, I had to buy in bits and bats (and because just purchasing...

Hollywood Homicide is a drag

Advantages: Some comedic moments
Disadvantages: Just drags

...I'm not averse to watching a couple of films with negative reviews every now and then, and this is what I experienced with Hollywood Homicide. The film stars Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett as two cops who moonlight as other things and pits them against some bad guys in investigating a multiple homicide. It hasn't received great reviews, and I could see why. The director, Ron Shelton, hasn't really grabbed the bull by the horns with this one. The actors appear uncomfortable and the plot is just too weak. The plot is one that has been used before. Two cops pitted together against their will, the veteran Joe Gavilan (Ford) and the rookie K C Calden (Hartnett), to investigate the murders of four men in a club shooting. They uncover corruption as they worm their way towards a bigger plot that they find themselves caught up in. And...

Off the planet!

Advantages: Nice........................
Disadvantages: but not exciting.

...I've been hearing about these Mars Planets for some time now but had until this week failed to try them, quite shocking really considering how much I enjoy my chocolate snacks especially of the Mars variety when my other half sent me off to locate a mars bar for him during our recent Asda trip I decided to treat myself too ad pick up a packet of Planets, they're lucky I chose them as they were sat right next to the Malteasers, they very nearly didn't make it. Mars Planets- Mars planets, naturally from the mars range, come in the same colour packing as it's cousin the Mars bar, distinctive in black with cream and red writing it is very eye catching, the main difference of course here is that the packaging is more similar in shape to another Mars product I mentioned earlier- Malteasers. Obviously with the planets being little balls...

Review of Mars Planets

You're in Hollywood!

Advantages: Questions, range of extras, game length
Disadvantages: Buzz can get annoying!

...My family and I absolutely love Buzz!! Since the first releases we've collected the games and whenever we have someone over or a party the buzzers come out and the gaming starts. The game says 12+, and I would agree. Some rounds are tougher than others and you need to have a basic knowledge of some Hollywood films. The Game You have 4 buzzers that act like controllers, and these four link up to a USB port on the PS2 (so really, you can have up to eight players if you link up another set of 4 buzzers). There are four coloured buttons and a buzzer, all of which are necessary for the game as they have different roles. On the menu you can select: * Length of game (short/medium/long) * Single or multiplayer * Type of game (Standard, party game etc.) You then move on to choose the numer of players by pressing the red...
