Let me know if the hat inspires your writing:)!<br /><br />@Donna Lee: Thanks so much for stopping by, and thanks for the comment! You'll love Shutter Island!

I love good movies, so I just had to stop by and leave a comment. <br />I'm usually very good with figuring the characters of a movie, and yes, I have to agree some of the movies you mentioned I did not see the ending cominge either.<br />The movie which came to mind when reading your blog was "Primal Fear" with Edward Norton and Richard Gere ....

Thanks, so much, for visiting and following my blog! :)<br /><br />I love a good twist - and you've listed a great list of movies that have them. I think I've seen almost all of them, except for Shutter Island. I'll have to see how far down (or up) it is on my Netflix list. I'm trying to think of others to add, but of course - because I want to list something now, I can think of absolutely nothing... ooh!

Stay-cation was wonderful, but I'm happy to be back to working on the manuscript (and the day job).<br /><br />I bought Wimpy Kid last night. And ... I even got the hat.
