The Sixth Sense:
I assume everyone at least knows by now that there's a big twist at the end. All I can say is, how could someone not see the "twist" coming? Of course, I also figured out the gender switch in The Crying Game without much difficulty (man neck gave it away)--my problem is usually looking for a surprise when there is none...as in The Grifters.
As for the film, it was a disappointment after all the buildup in the press and by a friend. (She also thought The English Patient was a must-see, so I'm going to have to start treating her generous praise with skepticism.) The Sixth Sense was okay, but I just don't think it was exceptional.
The scene in which the boy reveals his secret to his mother was moving, but the rest of it just didn't do anything for me. Given that I don't care much for Bruce Willis, though, and he and Haley Joe are basically the only two people in the film, it had a tough row to hoe in the first place.
