"I have to say Godfather Part II, because the thing I love about Godfather Part II is Godfather Part I was one incredible story filled with incredible performances, deep psychological examinations of what it’s like to be in that position of authority, and the struggle with that and the conflict of all the stuff we see with most good gangster films, really. You get that in one story in The Godfather Part I. I think in The Godfather Part II, there’s two stories like that. That’s what I love the most about it. It’s two wonderful gangster movies in one, and the richness of that, the way that they flip between those two stories, is something very, very special. It’s like two amazing movies in one movie. It would’ve been Godfather I, but the fact that Godfather II is two great movies in one movie just means it’s an embarrassment of riches. It’s just one of the greatest films of all time."

Book Rating
An average thriller
I havent reviewed anything in a few weeks and this is the first book I've read in a while, and to be honest despite being a thriller, it didn't really thrill me.

The problem with this book is the premise and the fact that the whole plot revolves around a huge secret that you are kept guessing about as long as possible. And whilst the secret wasn't quite what I was expecting, it wasn't particularly shocking either. That paired with a group of main characters that I found myself caring very little about didn't make this story any more enjoyable. Also the writing itself was questionable. It seemed to ramble on in sections and I've never seen any other author use "..." as much as Teresa Driscoll does.

Overall whilst this was bearable to read, I didnt find it hugely enjoyable or particularly memorable. I'm not entirely sure psychological thrillers are for me!

Good Boy Gone Bad
The Hole in the Ground- is a suspenseful movie i give it that, otherwise its just anethor movie about a boy who you think is normal but in reality he's not. I do like the psychological espects in this movie, that it is a plus. Plus the creepyest, the suspense and the horror are all good.

The plot: One night, Sarah's young son disappears into the woods behind their rural home. When he returns, he looks the same, but his behavior grows increasingly disturbing. Sarah begins to believe that the boy who returned may not be her son at all.

Its a intresting take on a boy who seems normal but he's not. Cause like the plot details he gets lost and when he returns he doesn't seem normal, like a different person. Its a intresting movie, but i fell like i have seen this movie/plot before. Otherwise it is a good movie.
