Summary: One of my Favorite Movies!
Review: This is one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen! To make it scarier still, my brother's name is Cole! I thought the actors were excellent. The special effects were the best I've ever seen! This is one movie I will never forget.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Masked mediocrity
Review: The Sixth Sene is a perfect example of how people have become obsessed with parts of movies and not movies as a whole.

While watching The Sixth Sense I couldn't help but think how average this movie was. The script is so-so at best, the acting (with the obvious excpetion of Haley Joel Osment) is pretty average and the plot as a whole just seems like something that you've seen before.

Then comes the ending which is undeniably a great twist. In fact the ending is really the only brilliant thing in this movie and I believe people often overate this movie just because of it.

The Sixth Sense is nothing more than an average movie with a great ending.

The fact that this was nominated for best picture is even more sickening. Then again The Green Mile was also nominated so it's fairly easy to conclude that the Oscars have no credibility anymore.

People glorify the Sixth Sense in the same way that they glorified Saving Private Ryan. They saw the opening beach sequence in that film and thought "wow, that part was so good, the rest of the film has to be good." Well it wasn't at all. Did anybody care about the fact that each character in Saving Private Ryan was nothing more than a cartoon charater? It was a wonderful example of how Steven Spielberg cannot make a movie anymore without having something big to distract the viewer from the fact that the film is mediocre. Unfortunately the Sixth Sense suffers from the same problems, it's nothing but mediocrity that impresses everyone because of the finale.

There are plenty of other better movies to see this year: Magnolia, Fight Club, Eyes Wide Shut, American Beauty, Election, Sweet and Lowdown, Go, The Insider, The Limey, Being John Malkovich... See them instead.

Summary: Willis and Osment in a class film
Review: Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis team up to make this a teriffic film. After seeing this film numerous times, there are two scenes that stand out as unforgettable and making the movie worth seeing. In one scene Cole (Osment) has to decide whether he should lie to his mother and confess to an act he didn't commit or tell the truth and say that "a ghost did it". The expression on his face shows a hurt and agony I thought only a veteran actor could produce. In the other, Cole has a secret to tell to Malcom (Willis) and is ready to tell it. When the scene ends you wish there was something you could do to rid this angel of his demons. M. Night Shyamalan directs a masterpiece of darkness and suspense. This film is a wonderful character study, proving that you can make a great film without resorting to gore or multi-million dollar special effects. Unlike most "who-dun-it's" that can only be enjoyed once, the ending of this film had me go back several times to see how it was done!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "I see dead people"
Review: With these chilling words the climax of the Sixth Sense is revealed. Unfortunately, they're uttered during the trailer. What's left is a moderately interesting story with a twist that provides more plot holes than answers. There are some good performances and, thankfully, it is devoid of special effects which so often degrade a film's integrity. The ghosts tend to be used more as props than antagonists and, aside from a "jump" scene or two, there's nothing particularly frightening although there is some tension in a couple of scenes. Despite the mass appeal, the Sixth Sense isn't anything that you haven't seen before but it's not a bad rent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One In A Thousand
Review: This film is one of the few movies that I have ever seen that you can only experience once. You can watch it as many times as you like, but the experience of the first viewing can never be repeated. The only other film in recent memory that gives me the same feeling is The Usual Suspects. Those that have seen both movies will understand. This was one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time. This is not only an enjoyable film to watch, it's also very well acted and has a great climax. I wish more movies gave me this feeling when I walk out of the theatre because this one was well worth the price!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oscar worthy performance by Osment
Review: Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment star is this outstanding thriller that will leave you in awe because of it's chills and an ending you never saw coming. Bruce Willis, an actor whose movies I tend to dislike, plays a psychologist who counsels Cole (Osment), then realizes Cole reminds him of a patient he once had that met certain doom. The scene where Willis was telling Osment that he can not be Cole's counselor anymore and Osment's reaction is definitely oscar worthy in and of itself. The famous line, "I see dead people", is probably going to be one of the most memorable lines and no one will be able to say it with the intensity that Haley Joel Osment was able to. The most intense and exciting movie of the year 1999! GRADE: A

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Sixth Sense
Review: Hello, everyone! For those of you who have not seen The Sixth Sense, you are in for a taunting, suspenseful ride! This movie totally blew me away (I saw it twice) with not only its intelligent plot, but for its menacing atmosphere. Haley Joel Osment is a sure Best Supporting Actor Oscar contender, for he is one of the most superb actors I have seen in quite a while. Bruce Willis shows that he is more than an action hero with a sensitive performance. The Sixth Sense will frighten and amaze people with its storyline. An exellent investment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best!
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and had a "slap-in-the-face" ending! I thought it was wonderful and VERY well done!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sixth Sense
Review: Is an under rated movie. It begins slow, but keeps your atttention. The acting is superb. A thumbs up for Bruce Willis for playing a different role than his usual action features. I felt the ending was an added touch. A must see twice movie!
