King of Queens

Advantages: Funny, good characters
Disadvantages: None

...King of Queens is an American sitcom set in New York. The King in question is Doug Heffernan and the Queens they relate to is actually the suburb of New York he lives in with his wife Carrie. I think this title is a really clever play on words and sets the scene for quite a funny sitcom in my opinion. Doug and Carrie are the main couple in this sitcom and it?s really them that the whole show revolves around. They have a nice relationship but bicker like most couples and they really play on each others stereotypes to get the laughs out of the audience. For example Doug is rather fat and so they definitely play this up on the show. He is generally always eating my Carrie facilitates this by buying him or making him his favourite foods. Doug is played by the very funny Kevin James who has been in movies such as Hitch, I Now Pronounce You...

The King Of Buffets

Advantages: Nice atmosphere, tasty food
Disadvantages: Not that many vegetarian choices

...I had heard many people rave about Buffet King but had never managed to visit it myself. When I had a friend staying I decided that a buffet would be a great place for a meal as you can guarantee that there will be something that we both liked there and it would be informal and reasonably priced. Situated in Carnegie Drive, the restaurant is just a minutes walk from the bus station and there is also ample parking in the council owned car parks across the road. It?s easy to see the appeal of a buffet, you get to fill your plate with as many tasty morsels as your stomach can hold but I have found that the quality varies greatly, lets see how Buffet King measures up. The restaurant was fairly quiet on the Sunday evening we visited which surprised me given how many people have told me about how great it is. We were seated straight away...

The King Of Gaming!

Advantages: Lots Of Games And Different Prizes To Choose From, Well Laid Out Site
Disadvantages: King.com Take A Fairly Big Cut

...I joined King.com about two years ago. I was previously a member of the itbox site which was similar but no where near as good and was closed down. When it closed down I had to look for a new a new site of this type and found King.com very high up in Google results by typing something like 'skill games for money'. What Is King.com? King.com is, as mentioned above, a website offering a range of skill games which can be played for money. Basically you choose from the very extensive list of games and then choose a stake and you then play that game and your score is compared to someone else's, the higher score of the two wins the cash prize. You don't have to play for money, all the games can also be played just for fun and then you will just earn jewels if you win, I will explain jewels later. As they offer true skill games, it...

The king of burgers?

Advantages: Good food, quality
Disadvantages: Price, urban myths

...I admit that for some reason, I seem to be addicted to everything that I shouldn't be. I have tried & failed to have an addiction to fruit and vegetables, so I have settled for my addiction to chocolate and junk food, and convince myself that when I go to somewhere like Burger King, because of the lettuce etc on burgers, it is actually healthy! Burger King is possibly the only chain restaurant where I have found the taste of products to be consistent. Every Burger King I've been in, apart from one in Scotland, has tasted the same, which I like, as I know then what I'm getting when I order it! Burger King is slightly more expensive than other similar fast food places, but in my opinion, slightly better. a meal costs aprox £4, but there is the options to have meals as regular, large or supersize, which comes with what looks like...

King Kong

Advantages: Excellent graphics, some good acting
Disadvantages: Old news, some not-so-good acting

...Having seen this film being advertised to come on television recently, I could not pass on the opportunity to watch it. I had missed the chance to see it at the cinema, but as some of you will know, our screen is just about big enough to make the film experience special. I had heard a lot about this film when it was released. While the story was well known, the advertisements had given me the impression it would still be an amazing film. The graphics already looked quite good, but that alone is never enough. I know that a number of my friends had seen it and been quite disappointed, wondering what all the fuss was about. Perhaps it had been overrated, but I still wanted the chance to see it for myself, so I could decide. Story To be honest, it's a shame if it takes this review for you to know the story of King Kong, but I...

King of the Stage

Advantages: Stunning, ingenious costumes and visuals, classic musical numbers well-performed.
Disadvantages: New songs and scenes are noticeably weaker.

...A stage performer is doubtless expected to be pretty versatile, and to be able to inhabit a variety of roles - nonetheless, the challenge facing the producers of the Lion King musical - of bringing the whole of the African Savannah convincingly to the stage - must have been a daunting one. If the prospect of bringing together a cast of anthropomorphic Lions, Hyenas, Elephants, Giraffes and the like is one you struggle to visualise, you should try to avoid seeing anything of the show before going, as the first scene is a spectacle like little else in theatre. To the famous strains of The Circle of Life, the potential of the set design is immediately realised as a half-moon panel in the floor slides open and, with the centre of the stage rotating, Pride Rock rises up until it stands tall over the gathering creatures below. Each new...

The Last King of Scotland

Advantages: Great acting, story to be told
Disadvantages: Gruesome

...The Last King of Scotland is a story, inspired by real people and events about the life of the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. The film came out in 2006 and was one that I really enjoyed. In my opinion it's well portrayed, beautifully acted, tense and gripping and one you really have to watch. Idi Amin is played by Forest Whitaker and he gives a truly haunting portrail. He's really quite scary in this film at the same time as being really captivating and interesting and it's no coincidence that people fall for his charms. I think he actually bears a little resembalance to the dictator himself and so this definitely made the look and character more believeable. In fact, it's not jsut me who thinks Forest did a great job. He won the Best Actor award at the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild and the BAFTAs for his role...

The Scorpion King

Advantages: Cool action, nice soundtrack, good characters and acting
Disadvantages: Unoriginal story

...The Scorpion King Story Set in around 3000 BC, the scorpion king follows the story of Mathayus, an Akkadian assassin and one of three brothers who are the last of their kind, who is hired to kill a sorcerer who works for an evil king called Memnon and allows him to rule by predicting the outcome of every battle. They find the sorcerer, who is not what they were expecting and is actually a sorceress, but are caught in her tent by Memnon's men. Mathayus's brothers are killed but he is able to escape through the sorcereress's help as well as the aid of a hose thief called Arpid. He then begins a one-man campaign to kill Memnon and avenge his brother's deaths. MY OPINION The story was well written, there were a lot of twists in it and it wasn't linear which is always a bonus. For a historian like me, there were too many...

A Schoolteacher and a King

Advantages: A lovely characters and overall story.
Disadvantages: Lengthy and too much going on!

...Hello fellow Ciaoers! I've been away for a while now but I'm back and ready to write! My next review is on one of my favourite films: Anna and the King. I have always loved this film and there have been many makes and re-makes of this film but this latest crack at it, is by far my favourite! As always I shall include a couple of quotes for your amusment from the critics!! "A richly satisfying mix of history, drama and romance." Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS "Holds its own against the beloved 1956 musical The King and I." Steve Murray, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION "Even folks familiar with the original accounts will find much to enjoy in the new one." Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER I personally would agree with every last quote here! Well that's done, now on to the boring gritty bits! ***TECHIE STUFF...

King of the Games

Advantages: Extensive games list
Disadvantages: Addictive!

...I was recommended King.com whilst on another site and as I have often had extreme moments of boredom, I thought that I may as well give it a try and I am glad to say that I was not disappointed in the slightest. ******Main Overview****** King.com boasts to be one of the largest and best skill gaming sites in the world with more than 40 million games played in January ?06. Statistics since then can not be found, but I assume that it is the smae or even better since the site is always busy no matter what time fo the day you log on. The site hosts over 50 unique (although some not so unique) skill games all seperated in various categories to make searching and navigation extremely easy. More about this later in the review. Amongst other aspects which I will go into more detail later in this review, there are two main sign...
