Movie Reviews of Caligula [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: a great exploitation flim based on reality, blu ray version
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a movie about caligula which meant little boots in latin.
He was the son of the great prince and general Germanicus and he was Romes third emporer. He started out ok and then began to push the boundries into the realm of either insanity or just selfish evil. His life was [...] , you can't tell about Caligula unless you tell about how he made the wives of senators into whores. He was driven to sexual excesses that were shocking to the Romans. His cruelty was legendary and finally they assassinated him. This movie depicts him in all his monstrous excesses. And it does a great job doing it too. Malcolm Mcdowell really portrays the essence of the man. Was he insane? or was he the ultimate spoiled young man who is allowed to do whatever he wanted? Did he actually believe that he was a god or did he just want to get away with anything he could? An interesting fact is that he was killed as he attempted to put his statue on the Temple Mount in Jerusalum. This was seen as a act of god. And perhaps he should be in the bible as a lesson that NO man shall become a god. after all he was contemporary with peter, paul and the other biblical figures. Sure the movie has lots of sex in it but it still tells one of histories most bizaare stories ,ok, the bad news is that they did not remaster this movie, there are terrible defects in the print. There was no excuse for not removing lines from it. unfortunately this movie has been hacked to pieces in the past so they made this version from what remains. A better version of this on blu ray cleaned up and color restored is needed. The colors look faded, and like 'black christmas' and many others no attempt has been made to restore color,
BUT, this blu ray version is the best you are going to get probably for a long time if not forever sadly. It looks better on blu ray than it did on dvd but this still needs work just like other flicks that were not cleaned up. However will they ever do it? so if you want this movie you want the blu ray version it's the best one so far.
Movie Review: Greatest Porno Ever Made
Summary: 4 Stars
Let's just call and spade a spade. This is a pornographic film. But damn if it isn't the best one ever made. The sets are amazing. The production design is amazing. To hell with Vivid Video's 'Pirates' and the like. Buy this instead. Wonderfully excessive!Movie Review: Hardcore and gore
Summary: 4 Stars
My title say's it all. But I think the the movie is worth having a look at! It is hard to believe this is how life was once unless you see it with your own eyes.Movie Review: brings back the memories

Sorry this Imperial edition of Caligula though somewhat improved does not look blue ray quality. The blue ray designation is somewhat misleading.
