The review on God Father Rather than concentrating on everything that is great about The Godfather‚ a much easier way for me to judge its quality is on what is bad about it. Almost every film has something that I don’t like about it‚ but I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change anything about The Godfather. There is nothing weak about it and nothing that stands out as bad. That’s why it gets ten out of ten. This is one of those films that made me wonder why I hadn’t seen it earlier

Cats are better then dogs All of my childhood‚ I grew up with dogs.” A dog is man’s best friend.” That common saying may contain some truth‚ but dogs are not the only animal friend companionship people enjoy.

FERAL CATS IN AUSTRALIA Domestic cats originated from an ancestral wild species‚ the European and African Wild Cat‚ Felis silvestris.
