Summary: Should have won best picture, and worst DVD
Review: After seeing American "yawn" Beauty, I thought I would take a look at The Sixth Sense. The difference between the two is night and day. Sixth Sense made me wonder how this wonderful movie would end. AB made me wonder WHEN this movie would end. Sixth Sense is definately worth the 5 star rating as well as the Academy Award from my heart.Now the DVD. This is another Disney marketing nightmare. It is bad enough that my children have to question me 15 times about "when is the movie going to start" when I put their Little Mermaid video in the VCR; but forcing me to watch previews on a DVD! OUTRAGIOUS! The DVD does not let you select the audio track while the movie is playing. Useful feature to check the AC-3 setting. Choices of languages? English and French. I would have thought Spanish would have been a selection. Also, the bonus material should have been expanded and placed in a directors/actors sound track. Guess they will do that on a Criterion (read more money for Disney) edition.

Summary: Hardly What I Expected
Review: While the hype surrounding this movie made me think it was some spectacular thriller, before I even went to see the film I figured out the secret. It was obvious to me even in the trailers. The movie was excellent in that it remained true to the old thriller noir films such as the abiance Hitchcock loved. But the honest truth if it hadn't been for the stunning performance of Haley Joel Osment as Cole... this film would not have shined. The dread you feel is for that little boy and his horrible secret of seeing dead people. The real thrill is watching a little scap of a boy tortured with his big eyes and quivering lips as your heart wrenches for him and his mother. Overall, the film was not what I expected, but Haley Joel Osment amazed and astounded me with a believable Cole.

Summary: Very Atmospheric
Review: Having heard so much about this film and how great the twist was, I was a bit annoyed to work it out so earlier on. When you are told that the twist is meant to be greater than "The Usual Suspects" you think you are in for a right treat. Maybe next time I won't be so quick to listen to others and anticipate great expectations. The film however, was one of the most atmospheric movies I have ever seen and the acting was superb. Haley Joel Osmant is a very lucky person to obtain such a talent and you hope that he is guided correctly through the ranks to achieve further success in the acting field. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and the story was cleverly constructed. This film needs to be watched in the dark with surround sound, the music and effects are captivating. After watching the movie I carried on with the Special Features available on DVD and they were very interesting, I particularly enjoyed the clues section. One final point, I spent the whole film thinking "Where is Donnie Whalberg?", not so the teen pop star any more and almost unrecognisable. Watch it and enjoy.

Summary: Great movie - excellent special features.
Review: The Sixth Sense is one of the greatest movies ever... Okay now that that's out of the way... M. Night Shyamalan is a really cool guy - or at least the DVD editors cut him to seem like a really cool guy. The making-of clips in the extensive special features section have a lot of face-time with Night, and you can really tell he is an exceptional person and director. He even included a *terrible* clip from a movie he made when he was about 11 years old to illustrate his amazement with his own success. This is a great DVD.

Summary: Sixth Sense
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. Rarely do I pay full theatre price three times to see a movie, but for this one I made an exception. The story line was well written and the cast was chosen quite well. It was full of surprises & suspence.

Summary: I see a scary movie
Review: This was a good DVD. I also saw it in theatre. Its scarier the 2nd time. Hailey Joel Osmont was excellent and Bruce Willis in his best role ever. THe story is a little Flat at some moments but really entertaining in other overal a great movie.

Summary: Not as good as the hype
Review: First off the rounds and rounds of previews let too much of the plot leak. The movie is good and definitely worth a rental if not a purchase but I didnt see a 5 star movie here. The ending was anticlimatic and left questions unanswered. Big bonus for DVD fans with all the extras. Gotta love that.

Review: This movie was both terrifying in some parts and VERY emotional. This is a great movie to see if you like that thriller sort of movie. Loved it!

Summary: Dulls my senses ... and not in a good way.
Review: I don't know - I was pretty pumped by the trailers this summer because A) I like Bruce Willis, and he usually tries to tackle a halfway decent and most always fun to watch character to play, and B) it looked scary. I was disappointed on both counts. Willis does a pretty good job holding his own, but that Haley Joel Osment kid cranked the melodrama way up high - no doubt he has acting talent but that whole "prickly things on the back of my neck, that's them" stuff in a lip-quivering cold sweat, it just made me scoff at everything. It was derivative in the sense that some scenes were jacked right out of movies like "Poltergeist" - like when all of the drawers and cupboards were opened up inexplicably. I could never identify where we were in the movie, nor could I identify the conflict or the resolution. Some people may qualify that as brilliant, but when you're confused as to why the characters are doing certain things that's not good. I'm all for that kind of thing, where a clear line of action is never quite established because the characters are so thickly nuanced - but the Willis and Osment characters were pretty much just surface-dwellers. Osment saw dead people and Willis, well, Willis was like he was on a ride-along with a cop. That may have been intentional, his "effervesence" - but alas ... The only thing I can say for this one was that it was unconventional and led you in one direction when stereotypes and assumptions told you to go in another. Nobody believes me on this one, but I swear it to be true, about thirty minutes into the film, at about the end of the first act, I knew about that sacred plot twist. It didn't take a genius to figure it out. I just don't understand why this film requires multiple viewings for you to get it. I've also heard people say that the twist in this came out of left field when they had deciphered "The Usual Suspects" in a matter of moments. This film is under the veil of being a smart movie, and writer/direction M. Night Shyamalan proved himself a good writer, but the direction wasn't quite as empowered as it could have been. All of these points could either add or subtract to the general ambiance of the picture - but for me it takes awway from my impression of it. I just felt let down that it didn't elude me as best it could. That's just me being selfish though. I felt it meandered a bit, focused too much on human emotion that just really wasn't there and tried to violently pull feelings out of you that you shouldn't have with this kind of film. I personally enjoyed "Stir of Echoes" better, the sleeper movie of the same year that had the same kind of set-up and was more thrilling. Good effort, but if you're going to try and throw a curve I want it to blindside me right in the back of the head. "The Sixth Sense" would have worked better as an episode of the X-Files and not a feature. Just my opinion, and I appear to be in the minority on this one for am the only person I know who has seen the movie that has thought very little of it. So as for this, for all the money and attention it received, and all of the critical praise - it was just a mediocre summer flick. Personally, I'm happy with only five senses.
