...miles of rich cloth. The largest set constructed from scratch since Cleopatra, including a seven-acre palace. Thousands of extras, amongst them children you'd love to take home. A gilded barge gliding through the waters of an enchanted jungle. Well-behaved elephants. All of this headed by the regal, charming, sexy Chow Yun-Fat. Sounds better than the Greatest Show on Earth. However, the shaky basis, unnecessary length and wobbly storyline of Anna and the King denies it a place amongst epic love stories like Ben-Hur and The English Patient...
...However, this is not to say that the sappy amongst us won't sigh and smile at the love between the king and Anna, for Chow Yun-Fat as King Mongkut provides much to sigh and smile at.

Touring chemistry labs by day and stargazing by night, the participants received early exposure to a wide range of facilities and opportunities on campus and in the Boston area. Some of the workshops were geared...
...elders to keep close contact with them while going to classes, going to final club events and so forth. Apparently, most carry the chickens around in boxes that seem to be a little over a foot square. They get jostled around between classes, take up seats (in their boxes) amongst the noisy crowds in the dining halls and are penned-up in student rooms at night (on the floor). They apparently have no time to run free except when trying to escape, and to my knowledge, there is no one giving them proper animal care...
