Our cornucopia of decade’s end lists continues now with the Twist List: The best twist-endings and third-act mindblowings from the last ten years. They’re the cherries on your Manoj sundae, and they’re after the jump.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
The rickroll at the end was ruined because the video automatically started. Better luck next time I guess?
I liked the twist ending to Gone Baby Gone. I went straight to IMDB after watching the film to see what everyone thought about it.
I know. Once I heard the music I scrolled down past everything to see what it was.
I figured out Identity before the ending and I had a feeling about the twist for the village but I was hoping it wasn't true.... it turned out to be true.
I can't believe The Village made it but not the 6th Sense.
The Village? Please. That wasn't a good twist. That was a crap ending. Seriously, it was a cheesy twist that was even poorly executed. Felt very tacked on and contrived just for the sake of having a twist.
And I'd hardly call that "twist" at the end of The Departed a twist. It was just more of a gotcha moment.
Shutter Island would've been a much better choice than either of those two. The Life of David Gale is one I'd put above either of those as well.
I agree with you on The Village....the was the dumbest thing ever but the twist on the Prestige was good. That one did surprise me a bit. Also Gone Baby Gone surprised me and I don't know what I would have done if I had been put in that position....would I have let them get away with it know she was better off with them then with her own mother? I don't know.
I saw the "Twist" for Gone Baby Gone within the first 20 minutes or so.
I will give The Departed and The Prestige some credit though.
