THE SIXTH SENSE
Sometimes you leave a theater saying........."WoW"....and this is one of those times. The Sixth Sense stars Bruce Willis as a child psychologist Malcolm Crowe and his patient, a boy named Cole Sears played by Haley Joel Osment. He is also know as The Son Of Gump! (yea he played that little gump kid) Osment's character has a secret...He see's dead people. Can you feel the chills?As the film began I got this awful feeling the movie was going to be destroyed by the five asses that set two rows in front of me. They came in late and were still in their talk mode. As the title appeared they were talking about bitch that and bitch this and so on. (Hey everyone likes a good bitch but come on I'm trying to watch a movie here) Then Donnie Walberg a.k.a. ONE OF THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK FAGS name appeared on the screen. The five asses started singing Hanging Tough! Well that was the last of their Hootin and Hollarin as they were rednecks. The point to telling you this is as soon as the titles went away the movie began. From that moment on I along with everyone eles was pulled into the film. Including those rednecks who I thought there was no hope for. So if the filmmakers could get the attention of a bunch of dumb ass rednecks who devote all there time to thinking about their tractors and shining their big O' belt buckles than you made an entertaining movie.
Young Osment's performance shines through out the movie as he incounters one ugly ass ghost after another. Willis trying to right a wrong with a previous patient sets out to help the boy. While devoting all his time on the kids troubles his marriage suffers. So two stories are unfolding at once, one with the boy and the other with his brink-of-an-affair-wife. By the way she is pretty damn hot. There is a shower scene but sadly its all blurred out by the shower door.
Great preformances all around set to this errie ghost back drop and real life struggles works well. The movie does have its jumpy moments although its PG-13. I jumped more than I did at the rated R The Blair Witch Project, so don't let the rating fool you. The movie does move at a slow pace and there are no terorist taking over the boys house with Bruce Willis hiding under the kitchen table waiting to make his move and save the day. But the pace is just right as it keeps you envolved all the way through till the end. This is a movie that has one of those "Holy Shit" kinda endings. So be warned do not let anyone tell you the ending and if they do slice them with Darth Maul's duel Lightsaber. As the credits rolled my mouth hung open at disbelief and then I smiled at its brillance.
Don't miss this one its well worth your time and money.
