Rating: Summary: The Sixth Sence Review: This is a "must see". You'll never guess the ending!
Rating: Summary: Good Movie - damn previews Review: The movie had a great theme and premise, and although there were some inconsistent or incohesive elements in the plot, in the end the film works and succeeds in telling a tale of the supernatural.After reading all your reviews, I think it would be fair to assume that we'll soon see the end of mandatory previews prefacing our DVDs. After Hollywood pictures and others read these reviews (and you know someone working for them is tasked with doing just that), I don't think they'd be stupid enough to include them on subsequent releases, which is a credit to this forum.
Rating: Summary: Six Senses, Four Stars Review: Based on the rave reviews of this movie from friends and co-workers I went out and bought the DVD. First of all I notice many of the reviewers of the DVD version had complaints about the previews at the begining of the disc. I was able to just skip right by them and start the movie in a matter of a few seconds, so I don't understand all the gripes about that. I thought the movie itself was very good, if not quite up to the hype, but then how often does a movie live up to the hype? I didn't really consider it a "thriller" in the classsic sense, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment either. It was very well acted by the main stars, especially young Haley. His performance was certainly worthy of the nomination and probaly the Oscar as well, although I haven't seen "Cider House" to judge Micheal Caine's performance. Bruce Willis did a fine job too, quite a change from the well-worn John McClane role. As for the unforeseen twist ending, well, I guessed it only a few minutes into the film and was able to confirm it by the clues provided throughout(they're there, you just have to know what to notice). But again this didn't detract from the overall quality and enjoyment of the film. As far as being worthy of the Oscar for best pic- I'd have to go with "The Green Mile", but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
Rating: Summary: hmmmmmmmmmm Review: this film is is far too freaky for pg-13.i am 11 and saw the exorcist and texas chainsaw masscure on a big screen and that did'nt get scared!but this scared me.
Rating: Summary: Arguably the best movie of 1999... Review: How American Beauty could be considered a better film I don't know. A great script and awesome acting from a young Haley Joel Osmant. You don't see any of that bratty behavior of a certain Home Alone kid but a fine kid actor! Watch this over and over again!
Rating: Summary: As good on DVD as it was in the cinema Review: If you missed this at the movies and whether you know the twist or not this has got to be one of the must see DVDs. For a start you get loads of extras, including a bit of Shyamalan's first movie and deleted scenes with Shyamalan's explanations. This is a very simple but very powerful story creating tension without the need for special effects. Its believability is down to the fanstastic acting of all players, especially Haley Joel Osment and Shyamalan's delicate touch. These, together with a great score has to make it one of the most atmospheric movies you are likely to see. Casting Willis as a child psychologist must have had some risks but he pulls it off so well. The whole pretext of this movie is in the question who is helping whom? Is Malcom helping Cole come to terms with his psychological affliction? Is Cole helping Malcom improve his relationship with his wife? Is Cole helping his mother come to terms with her feelings for her mother? It is not often you get a movie with this kind of impact, but in the same way that Cole's ghosts walk with him, this film will stay with you for a long time. Don't get too caught up with the twist hype - I guessed what it was most likely to be before I even saw the movie but I was not prepared for the way it unfolded.
Rating: Summary: Movie great but could do without excess DVD previews Review: This is a great movie, no doubt. However the 8 minutes of previews that you can't skip at the beginning of the DVD version are a bit annoying
Rating: Summary: I see bored people..... Review: OK..the greatest thriller of all time like the advertising says...NOT! All in All its a big letdown, no real story to speak of except for the "trick" ending - of course i was tempted to see it from the beginning at that point - but didnt want to sit through it.
Rating: Summary: Didn't see it in theaters... Review: Saw Blair Witch instead. Big mistake... Excellent film, very engrossing with an honest-to-goodness plot twist at the end. Good performance by Osment, as well as Willis. Some nice features on the DVD as well. Several interviews with the cast and crew spell out some of the particulars about the film, as well as how they were able to keep the audience in the dark about the ending. Some deleted scenes that I would have liked to have seen in the film, as well. You learn so much more about the film with the DVD. These are the kinds of features that should be required out of every DVD!
