Rating: Summary: "I see dead people," Review: M. Night Shyamalan's THE SIXTH SENSE has ranked high on my list of favorite films ever since its 1999 theatrical release.First of all, it hits close to home. Why? First off, Shyamalan graduated from Waldron Mercy Academy, my private Catholic school, back when it was Waldron Academy and all-boys. Today, the nationally renowned school is coed. Second, THE SIXTH SENSE is filmed in the bustling city of Philadelphia, PA, very close to where I lived. I recognized most, if not all of the places shown in Shyamalan's thriller. That said, it didn't necessarily mean I was going to automatically enjoy the film. At the age of 11, I was hasty to see it. But my Daddy, as usual, bribed me into it, assuring me I wouldn't regret seeing the movie. "Whatever," I muttered as he dragged me to the neighborhood cinema. I had set my standards low. I arrived in the theatre, expecting a Pepsi, a Hershey bar, and a nap. I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I was elated! The talented Bruce Willis takes on the role of psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe, very distinguished in his profession. Haley Joel Osment, newcomer to the big screen, plays Cole Sear, a disturbed 8 year-old. His mother, up in arms about what to do with her withdrawn and unhappy son, calls Dr. Crowe to help sort out the situation. Mrs. Sear, a single parent, is wonderfully played by Toni Colette, who brings life and significance to her character, giving off a near immaculate 3-dimensional performance. Cole is blessed. Or is he cursed? You decide. He has been bestowed/cursed with the power of the sixth sense, a skill both ugly and horrible, in a sense. Cole, with this magical skill, can help others. Yet at the same time, his sixth sense haunts him to the point of insanity. "I see dead people," he eventually explains to Dr. Crowe. Indeed, young Cole speaks the harrowing truth. He sees ghostly apparations that haunt him by night and show themselves by day, terrifying and confusing him to no end. Alas, Dr. Crowe is unprepared when Cole enlightens him with this information. Yet this new knowledge is a beginning for various journeys. Together, the doctor and his young patient travel to places previously unbeknownst to them. Their adventures lead them to both saddening truths and irrevocable consequences. THE SIXH SENSE proves to a fickle audience, namely America, that special effects aren't required to make a superb and memorable horror film. M. Night Shyamalan's unforgettable effort (not his first, FYI) is bone chilling, dazzling, and beautiful, with performances that either launched careers or furthered them. This film is a masterpiece, no matter how you try to look at it, and it deserved all 6 of its Oscar nods. Yes, it broke my heart when it didn't win any... Enjoy this thrilling treat, if you haven't already.
Rating: Summary: The Return of Good Horror Films Review: "I see dead people". If you've been hiding under a rock for the last few years you missed this fantastic horror film. The return of good horror films after a long long dry spell of Scream, Friday the 13th and all the other stupid horror films. This is a fantastic smart horror film. A must own.
Rating: Summary: A Creepy But Exhilerating Ride! Review: At first, before I saw this movie, I didn't know if it would really be worth seeing. There have been many "ghost" movies out, but few of them have really been worth seeing. This movie, however, is great in every aspect! The plot is excellent, and full of twists you'll never see coming. The acting is simply incredible- Haley Joel Osment is incredible in his portayal of a small boy named Cole Sear who is haunted by spirits of the dead. Bruce Willis is really believable in his part portraying a child psychologist with serious problems of his own. The cinematography and excellent plot come together to create an eerie, ghastly experience- without very much blood or gore. Now- for some about the story. I don't want to give away too much, because most of the enjoyment from the movie comes from the plot. Basically, Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist with a life in turmoil, becomes determined to help a small boy who says he "Sees dead people." Haunting memories from the past drive Malcolm's ambition, making him all the more set in his cause. Little Cole Sear, the disturbed child, is very strange and mysterious- he seems just a little too knowledgeable for his age. Malcolm thinks that he understand's Cole's problem, but perhaps, in the end, it is Cole who has something to teach Malcolm...
Rating: Summary: Good movie if you don't look too close Review: The movie features some of the best child acting (Haley Joel Osment) I have seen, plus his mother (Toni Collette) is a strong enough character to almost save the plot. They get 5 stars. Nice moody atmosphere combines with the 'give them the plot in little bites' approach that forces the viewer to keep up dating their understanding of the movie. But the movie stretches credibility to the breaking point with it attempt at a trick ending. Too much 'it just happened that way' plot devices and Bruce Willis isn't enough of an actor to make it work.
Rating: Summary: Not exciting the second time around... Review: The Sixth Sense blew me away the first time I saw it. Upon seeing again, I understood that I liked it so much the first time because I did not know that Bruce Willis's character was dead throughout the whole movie. The twist at the end is what made this movie. Without it the movie is average and since it's not a surprise the second time around, the movie is average.
Rating: Summary: The Sixth Sense (1999) Review: The Sixth Sense is a mildly entertaining movie, though not as much as the hype led it up to be. Haley Joel Osment gives a great peformance as Cole Sear, a young boy who can see ghosts. He is better than most adult actors, despite his age, and delivers a phenomenal performance in this movie. Bruce Willis, though not at his strongest, was also good. One thing that really caught the eye was the screenplay: It was imaginative and eventful, and had many interesting twists to it. M. Night Shyamalan really pulls something off with this movie, and, though it was worthy of it's Best Picture nomination, was not something which, I repeat, lived up to the hype given it.
