Villaggio Cinema

Erasmus
By Erasmus

Does anyone hae any updates or ideas when the cinema in Villagio will open (or any new cinema at that)?

There's signs saying "opening soon" around Villagio, but that ambiguous at best. I'm really itching to watch a good movie!

Went to see "Beyond Reasonable Doubt". Pretty good entertainment. Evening spoilt somewhat by visiting gents after the movie. I have never seen such an appalling condition for a "newly opened" toilet. Strewn used tissue paper all over the place, no hand towels, no toilet rolls and puddles of water (I hope!) all over the place - absolutely unacceptable and certainly not a good message to send the football supporters back home with.

There is no excuse for this mess - simply disgusting!

Just saw "inglorious basterds" - good movie about German occupation of France during world war 2 and the terror campaign against Jews living there. In this movie the Jews are one up on the Germans

As mentioned saw Surrogates there on Thursday night.

The movie was ok, but the seating is tiered so your kids' view won't be blocked by people in front.

The screens are good, seats comfortable, and the place is still clean, ( give it a few weeks though!)

Not all the cinemas are being used currently, just wish they weren't so behind in the movies they showed.

Still, I live in Al-Waab an have been waiting for a while, am very happy the have finally opened!

No more laps around City Centre car park!!

Saw Surrogates this evening, movie was ok, but it was great since I live near by and not have to drive around for 20 minutes in City Centre looking for a parking spot.

Its been a while since i last watch a movie on an imax theater, i remember that time when they shown superman in 3D, and you need to make reservation first, knowing that the showing date is still two weeks ahead...cant wait here..

What happened to Gulf Cinema? Doesn't anyone watch movies over there now???

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.

Kids will be kids, and that's where parents are supposed to step in. I'm not about to start a big diatribe about the parenting style we see here in Doha...

However, the parents who stick their kids in the car with the driver and despatch them unaccompanied to the cinema usually seem to send them to Landmark, The Mall and Royal Plaza.

The upside is that you can predict which cinema is more likely to be full of kids who get up throughout the movie to go back to the candy bar, and who talk throughout the movie and who will make the experience a terrible one for the rest of the patrons.

There is a difference between good kids, and kids who do what they want running around free without being told otherwise , ofcourse - I just meant that these kids can be in any of the cinemas.

By novita77• 3 Jul 2009 15:02
novita77

I defenitely agree kids are kids. But there are different btwn 'good kids' and 'spoiled brats' ...

By chmb• 3 Jul 2009 14:53

It doesn't matter what cinema you go to - kids are kids, and you can't control which ones would go to which cinema. The type of kids doesn't depend on the cinema.

Each cinema has it's ups n downs, I've been to royal plaza, when its been nice and empty, and other times when it's full and you'll get people on the phone talking etc, just like i have seen at cinema at CC and elsewhere - can't control the people who go to cinema at the end of the day. CC, sometimes as well, can be full, and other times it's been empty.

By novita77• 3 Jul 2009 14:42

fubar, i like the most cinema in CC ... but parking is always a pain ...

no more movies for me, will just rent/buy the DVD and watch it at home.

besides ... i am out of here shortly, so I can stop whinning about Doha :o)

By fubar• 3 Jul 2009 14:39

I agree Novita. The kids at Royal Plaza are much more insolent and disruptive than the ones at City Center.

But... it is better than Landmark and the Mall, and with the parking situation at City Center so awful, I still end up seeing most movies at Royal Plaza.

And as for the Villagio cinema, who knows.

Best not to believe any hype about when things are supposed to open (new airport, the Pearl, new hotels, Barwa housing, new roads etc). We only get told BS.

CC on the weekend to watch a movie.....This translates to inflicting personal punishment on ones self. Getting to the parking is dramatic enough, then one needs to hunt down a parking space. This is followed by the possibility of having a twit next to you that's hand manages to slide under the armrest and end up on the side of your thigh........ Ugh.... will stick to The Mall and Royal Plaza...... Let's see how Villagio ones pan out when they open....creepy hands wise....

By Vegas• 4 May 2009 21:51

I'll just go to Royal Plaza and Villagio...

vegas, parking at CC becomes worse day after day...

Once i was looking for the parking spot for 35 minutes... on WEDNESDAY in the middle of the working day!!

eventually I gave up and drove away. I said i will never go back to CC, go to hell ...

poor people who enrolled into the new GYM there.. where the hell they suppose to park???

Villagio parking is much better than City Centre especially if you park at the back.. Really never knew there was going to be a new cinema at Villagio.
