Julius Caesar, with or without Cleopatra, was a significant figure both historically (the ruler of Rome) and literary (hero of one of Shakespeare's better plays).
ReplyDeleteNo wonder, there are many films on him, and all of them, totally captivating.
I still remember the naughty version of him in Spartacus epic TV series from the previous decade! Loved that one.
DeleteI've switched over to Amazon video for the time being. It seemed like Netflix hasn't had anything worth watching in over a year.
ReplyDeletethat is too sad. People seem to turning fully to them two and leaving cable and networks
DeleteCable is too expensive here. They wanted to charge hundreds of dollars for crappy channels that we never watched. I prefer to pay less than $15 a month for Netflix and free tv with Amazon Prime and get shows I actually want to watch. Sadly, times are changing and cable is on the way out.
Deletethat's not too much for Netflix. Our cable is about ten bucks a month methinks, all terrible horrible nasty channels, not that I watched any telly in three years or so..
