there's plenty of dvd rental places. there's one in city center, and another in hayat plaza. The best one is this place at this shopping center next to "the centre"..i forget its name (helpful, aye? :p) it's on the second floor next to this chinese novelty store and they have another branch at al waab petrol station.

i just finished watching "v for vendetta" and would definitely recommend it for anyone who's interested.
