DVD/Movie sharing is a good idea. Something to keep in mind is that most DVDs have region codes, which can't be played on certain DVDs. For example, a DVD purchased in the US cannot be played on a DVD player purchased in the Middle East.
My 2 QRs re: 300...artistic, excellent and, although artistic license was used for character embellishment, the story was true to the original Battle of Thermopoli. Yes, it was violent, but it was in the appropriate context. It wasn't gratuitous, it clearly shows the passion and disciplines of the Spartans (true to history) and the excesses of Xerxes (again, true to history)....NOT for children.
Alexander, although mildly entertaining due to the scenery and costumes, had all the intrigue of Kevin Costner in Robin Hood.
But, isn't that what's so great about movies? One person's Dr Zhivago is another person's South Park: Team America!
