I had a rather fun weekend at the cinema with some friends - we decided to pull off a brief cinema marathon and went to see Star Trek and Angels & Demons back to back. I enjoyed both movies, but what's worth mentioning is that because the shows we had gone for were so busy, we decided to go for the ' VIP' seating for better viewing.

Now let me just explain what 'VIP seating' at Dubai cinemas means. You get to sit on the very last row of the cinema, against the back wall - this is supposedly a 'premium viewing angle'. The seats recline back, but you have to keep your back pushed into the seat so that it stays reclined and doesn't catapult you four rows into the front. And that is pretty much the end of the VIP experience - you still have to wait in bloody long queues at the concession stand, and you still get loud-mouthed retards who sit next to you.

Truly, worth every penny that we paid.
