One of my favorite movies of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!! - The Sixth Sense Reviews
I saw this film 3 days after its release into the theatres. After we left the theatre I remember having the feeling of being tricked. I can usually predict the ending of movies that I watch, and usually don't like them if I'm right. However, it was different with this film. I really didn't expect it at all. Everything was done so perfectly that they hid the ending away, and yet shoved it in your face the entire time. M. Night did an amazing job and should've gotten an Oscar for, at the very least, Best Director, if not Best Picture. This was truely a tremendous film.
Fantastic, reversal of fate - The Sixth Sense Reviews
Fate is a bad thing, and does this movie teach you what can happen after your dust eating days have caught up to you. Think your still alive? Better check again! This movie catches you off guard, and shatters the typical plot driven thriller movie, and re~establishes the true meaning of suspense!
You think you figure it out, and then your caught with your mouth wide open wondering what the hell just happened here? Perfect movie.
A+ - The Sixth Sense Reviews
Very good movie, this movie is a rock your socks off movie with a twist in the story that makes you just studder for words.

Bloody great... - The Sixth Sense Reviews
THE SIXTH SENSE is a refreshing and absorbing ghost story that is much more than meets the eye. It is great to see a major Hollywood release go back to old school fright methods. Do not expect to see thrill-a-minute, falsely produced chills. This is a truly original piece of atmospheric filmmaking that earns the viewer's responses, which include frequent oohs and aahs and an occasional scream.
Writer-Director M. Night Shyamalan, a Philly native, presents a plodding build-up to one of the best payoffs I have seen in a thriller in the past few years. Seeing the film, I knew the young boy (played incredibly by Haley Joel Osment) has a "gift" and sees certain people walking around no one else can see. Shyamalan seems to have taken a page out of Hitchcock's VERTIGO, where the main thematic plot it not fully revealed untill crucial climactic scenes, and applied it to the boy's problems. It is most definitely a problem if you are interacting with people who supposedly no longer walk the earth. You may be unsure as to what he really is seeing until the great frights and charms of the picture hit you. You know when Shyamalan means for us to get it and become involved.
Bruce Willis is so reserved it is scary in itself and he plays off the boy very effectively. SIXTH SENSE takes place on some other plane of existence it seems. That is how I felt. Sometimes you wonder whether people are seeing the main characters, who are all, in varying ways, mixed up in this whirlwind of terrifying sights and dimensions. It is not manipulative and the scares do not need manufacturing. We are led through them as a good script should put an audience through.
Toni Collette has picked up a good South Philadelphia accent and is simply flabbergasted as to what the hell is going on with her seemingly gifted, yet sick, young son. Osment as "Cole", the boy star of the film outshines even Willis and shows he is capable of playing a character deeper than Forrest Gump Jr. (yep, that's him). There is a lot of religious reference to afterlife which is fitting and the so-called "twist" is indeed a twist to remember.
All involved in this surprising production should be proud of the fact that you can still keep an audience in traction with moody story-telling and visuals and NO computer-generated effects. Compare this to some of the current releases and realize how much better these bare bones are.
A great story - The Sixth Sense Reviews
While I agree, most of the movie is nothing out of the ordinary and nothing really exciting. But the ending makes it all worth watching, probably the only ending that amazed more than The Shawshank Redemption.
Awesome - The Sixth Sense Reviews
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. If you are in the mood for a suspenseful and spooky movie, then this is the best pick.

D - for dumb humor - Wedding Crashers Reviews
I am simply let down everytime I get talked into going to an american made comedy. Who's rating these comedy movies... post pubescent boys and girls? I guess if you think bare breasted women, stupid cliches' and just plain dumb writing is funny... more power to you. I'll stick to the foreign comedies, until Hollywood can produce something more funny than this type of garbage.
