Summary: Sexy Sam
Review: This film is extremly moving. I like this movie because it's very jumping and the actors in it act so good. If you haven't yet seen this film then you should see it. The ghost in it look so real it's unbelievable. I personaly thought the little boy in the film acted really good (so did Bruce Willis).

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: As a Bruce Willis avoider I would recommend this video because there appears to be a shift in Mr. Willis' character deliverance. Up until now Mr. W. appeared to be a bone headed tough guy with an affinity for delivering the same character over and over in most of his craft. I made the decision to see this movie because I had seen an interview with Mr. W and he made sense for the first time. He appeared to have some insight into his own life and the role he has at this time. Perhaps he needed to get away from Demi!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oscar worthy
Review: First of all. Forget the fact Bruce Willis is a Die Hard stereotype of all movies. The director of the 6th sense obviously knows how to move and motivate the full potential of an actor. Halley Joel Osmont concieved an excellent performance and does deserve best supporting actor. The story in genius, is well scripted, and well done. The direction and the script was intelligent, making movies like Austin Powers 2 and American Pie, one hit wonders like a bad hit by a wanna-be teenband. Sixth Sense is the BEST!

Summary: Bev from Nebraska doesn't know what she is talking about
Review: This movie was AWESOME! How many movies do you find people talking about it for days after they saw it, contemplating ever aspect of it? This movie far and away outshines any I have seen. The acting was unbelievable. I don't usually find Bruce Willis' acting impressive but it was AWESOME in this movie. And Haley Joe Osment was so incredible. Beverly makes fun of the short lines added to the movie? What about the idiotic (not to mention RUDE) comments she adds to her review. She describes words as retarded...grow up and learn to be a little more politically correct, and if she doesn't want to be politically correct then at least have a little more class. But anyway, the movie rocks! I can't wait to own it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Film of the 20th Century
Review: Wow - what can I say? A very intelligently scripted and amazingly acted film in which Bruce Willis proves that the action stereotype is just a misconception of him while he plays a child psychologist with a real sense of character. The supporting cast offer a uniformly high standard also, and with an amazingly scripted plot, make this the best film I have seen in a long, long time. If it's action you want then stay away, whereas if it is suspense, drama and plot you want order it now!

Fantastic all round. Bet it makes you jump.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All I can say about this movie is WOW!
Review: We saw The Sixth Sense in a theater last year just as the public was discovering this little gem. Some magazine my wife had read blew the ending for her, but she still cried up a storm. The film is THAT moving. I have to agree with the Amazon Staff Review. The excellence of this film is in it's execution. The plot has been utilized over and over again. Some one (in this case a little boy) is seeing ghosts and has to perform services for them so that they can "move on". At first the kid is thought to be disturbed, but with the help of his psychiatrist he is able to come to terms with his gift and move on with his life. Think Ordinary People meets The Haunting.

How this film is shot is where the payoff comes from. The use of camera angles and perspective is amazing. The cabinet scene made us both jump out of our chair and there was no special effect. Just good film making.

I had heard a rumor that a sequel may be in the works, but not for a few years so that the kid playing the lead character can grow up a bit and reprise his role as a teenager. I vote yes for this. It could prove a very interesting follow up to a great film.

If any of this film's nominees read this- Good luck at the Golden Globes and see you at The Oscars!

Summary: I love seeing dead people
Review: "I see dead people."
This is the movie's stand-out quote. It shows M. Night Shamayalan's brilliance as a producer, director, and writer. He incorporated one of his childhood fantasies into "The Sixth Sense" and added some of his own ideas giving it a brilliant storyline. The symbolisms(ex. the color red) give it that added uniqueness. Shamayalan proves that he'll become the next Steven Spielberg someday.

Haley Joel Osment deserved his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role of Cole Sear. He expresses Sear's fears and trials much better than most other 11-year old actors are capable. This powerful performance excites many to discover his performances while he's growing up and as an adult.

The rest of the cast is amazing: Toni Collette, Bruce Willis, Trevor Morgan, Olivia Williams, etc. Everybody, including Osment, has that special chemistry amongst one another. They provoke their emotions into their audience. When a character fears, the audience fears. When a character rages, the audience rages. These define the meaning of "The Sixth Sense's" storyline and environment. They force the audience think about the story elements rather than revealing them bluntly. This allows the audience to constantly watch it and learn new elements everytime. One may constantly whisper to their friends, "I see dead people" due to the movie addiction.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: first rate psychological thriller
Review: I was listening to the Movie Show on Radio one Saturday as I was working on my truck, when I heard Mad Max Weiss mention that The Sixth Sense had one of the most surprising endings of any movie. That did it, I had to rent it.

Staring Bruce Willis as child psychologist Malcolm Crowe and Haley Osment and the disturb child Cole Sear, The Sixth Sense is both a psychological thriller and a horror movie at the same time. Terrifying visions of dead people haunts the child, Cole. He has learned to repress what he sees for fear of being called insane. So at first, we see it as a psychological thriller. Later, we learn that the visions are real, so perhaps we are watching a horror flick, but as the move progresses it never degenerates into a silly horror movie, but keeps its psychological edge.

Although Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors, I am afraid that I have underestimated his acting ability. This is an outstanding movie that grabs your attention and does not let go until the final credits roll. And the ending, oh yes, it was a surprise- I did not see it coming. If you have not seen this movie, rent it now. You will want to watch it several times. It is that good. Not a movie for the faint of heart or your wee ones- it will give them nightmares for a week; but if you are looking for a first rate psychological thriller you may want to add this to your DVD collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding Film
Review: I'm not a big fan of horror, so I managed to avoid the "Sixth Sense" during it's theatrical run. I was going to avoid it entirely, but friends persuaded me to give it a try, and I'm glad they did.

This is a terrific picture that kept me thinking about it for days after I saw it. The film stars an under-rated Bruce Willis as a psychiatrist who works with traumatized young children. After having a traumatizing episode himself, Willis attempts to right his own life by helping an unreachable young boy named Cole, who is played by Oscar nominee Haley Joel Osment. However, Cole is not your average troubled child. Cole, we quickly find out, sees and talks to dead people. Fortunately, Willis is not your average psychiatrist, either.

There is a lot I would like to say about this movie, but little more I can mention without spoiling it. I can tell you this film is not particularly graphic or bloody, and my violence-averse wife enjoyed the film. But it can be fairly frightening, especially for younger viewers. The movie is more than your average thriller, and will keep you guessing.

The DVD has several great features on it, including scenes that were cut from the film, and an interview with the director explaining some of the key moments. That alone makes the DVD worthwhile.
