Playa Dorado - Movie Theater

Probably not for the guy down here for just a few days trying to get as many women under the belt as possible, but for those whole live down here or spend a few weeks at a time here going to the movies can be a nice change of pace and something the girls seam to like a lot.

The Movie theater is in Playa Dorado in the little mall where Pizza Hut, Hemingway's & other little stores are located. It is on the 2nd floor and is nicer then I had originally expected. At 100 pesos a piece it is a good deal.

Recently I have seen Hitch, Be Cool, Star Wars III(released same day as in the states), Miss Congeniality 2, The Boogeyman, Constantine, etc. Movies are in English with Spanish subtitles so both you and your Novia can understand.

Only 100 pesos to see a movie and snacks are cheap as well.

Thanks! I knew of the theatre at Playa Dorada, but I had never read anything about it. I usually head to the Megacentro or The Palacio (Ave. Venezuela) theatres in the evenings w/ a couple of chicas, when I'm in Santo Domingo, but my next DR visit will probably be up North.

BTW: Is this a tourist movie theatre or a Dominican movie theatre. In Santo Domingo, you won't see tourists. Also, some of these girls are illiterate, so Spanish subtitles aren't going to help (I'm surprised that Miss Congeniality 2 was not dubbed in Spanish, many comedies are, and I saw Star Wars III in Spanish when I was in SD in May.)

Thanks,

It is a Mix of Tourists and Dominicans at the Theater, I would say an equal amount of both which is kind of nice.

As for some of the girls being Illiterate I don't think it matters much. They just like going and probably have seen many movies on tv in english they have not understood, but still enjoy.

I've been to the movies in Santo Domingo about 12 times in the last 8 months and I think it does matter. For students, it's not a big deal, whether the movie is dubbed or not, but putas can looked lost (w/ the exception of slapstick comedies) and somewhat frustrated if they can't read what's on the screen.

A lot of the cable movie stations that are broadcast in the DR, have been dubbed. And I have yet to see a chica stop on a channel that was in English.

I like the change of pace activites. Movies are one of my favorites, especially if your with novia for the night and don't want to see the inside of a club

If I am in DR for less than 2 weeks, I can pass on movies. They are out for usually a month in the NY area.

Jimmy I think your not telling the truth. If your here for only 4-5 days and me and MAV want to go, you may very well tag along. Back in town by midnight, still plenty of time to get yourself in trouble.
