If anyone is reading this please tell me whats your favourite month so far this year.

Here are some of the few movies that I have seen which had a great twist (not in any particular order)

1) Psycho : It was the first psychological thriller that I watched and I couldnt guess the ending.

2) Donnie Darko : What would you do if you could see the future?

3) Vanilla Sky : The movie was boring but the ending was kind of twisted.

4) American Beauty : It had one of the sadest endings.

5) A Beautiful Mind : Kind of a wierd but wonderful movie.

6) Fight Club : *Spoiler* One of my favourite movie endings , it was when edward norton kills brad pitt.

7) Matrix Revolutions : *Spoiler* Really couldnt belive that neo died.

8) The Sixth Sense : *Spoiler* I knew that bruce willis was dead halfway throught the movie.It was one of my favourite twists.

9) Saw : Its kind of a sick and a gore movie but the ending was a real twist.

10) Jacobs Ladder : *Spoiler* I knew that Jacob was dead.

11) The Jacket : Similar to donnie darko but a better ending.

12) Memento : It took me a long time to understand this one but this was a great movie.

If you had seen those movies then you must know , they have one thing in common "They explore the subconscious mind".

Anyother movies like this???????

I was the best football player in my school.I didn't play that much football during my college days but I was still good.After two years I played football today but unfortunately I did play against the germans.They play only with their heads and I couldn't even play with my foot properly.I could play only for the first 30 minutes.My entire body is aching now.

The bottom line is never play football with europeans unless you eat , sleep and drink football.
