DVD Reviews of The Sixth Sense (Two-Disc Vista Series)
DVD Review: Well Worth Watching Again
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie ten years ago or so and was blown away by the twist ending that I never saw coming. I just watched it again and was amazed by how well rendered the entire movie is and how Shyamalan plays totally fair with his "surprise". I just hope he can recapture this magic of SIXTH SENSE in the future as his other films have been very disappointing. I'm not usually a fan of Bruce Willis in his action roles but he is just perfect playing Malcom in this much quieter movie. Child actor Haley Joel Osmont is nothing short of remarkable in his role as the "disturbed" Cole. Philadelphia, a city I never think much about, comes alive and I now want to visit it and see the historic sites. And there is really a pretty nice spiritual message for a "ghost" story. Highly recommended for ages 14 and up unless unusually sensitive to shivery surprises. DVD Review: great

Summary: 5 Stars
I have loved this film from the day I first saw it in the theatres some 10 years ago! Altho' I always know the outcome, the excellent acting of (then) young Haley Joel Osment, and the palpable chemistry between him & both his mother (played by Toni Collette) and his therapist (played by Bruce Willis) make this movie a viewing pleasure time and again. My favorite scene is at the end of the movie when he & his mother are in the car, and he's "ready to talk about his secrets." I would highly recommend seeing this film, as there is a little bit of something for everyone - humor, suspense, drama, lost love, and reconciliation.DVD Review: Ten Years After and Still A Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all-time favourite movies for a number of reasons and it's nice to see that even after a decade, this film ages so well and is still fun to watch. I watched "Silence of the Lambs" again recently and it hasn't aged as well for me. "The Sixth Sense" is more than just a scary movie as it has themes of redemption in trying to make things right, the difficulty of single parenthood and the tremendous impact it has on the innocent child's life both then and in the future and of course the obvious life after death/spirit world issues. The unexpected twist is a key reason for what makes this film work so well and yet unlike "Silence ..." even when you know the ending, the excellent treatment of the various other themes mentioned earlier makes it still watchable. With "Silence ..." I get the feeling I already know the final score of the basketball game and so a massive amount of future enjoyment value is lost with repeated viewings. Each time I watch "The Sixth Sense" though, I still find myself rediscovering elements that I'd somehow missed earlier. This film like a true classic rewards repeated viewings very well.
This Collector's Edition dvd is also a treat as it comes in very good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound quality and the picture quality is for the most part very good. The Special Features includes very good making-of documentary, deleted scenes and interviews with the cast and especially with the director/screenwriter himself. As far as standard format discs go this is very good and it only makes me wonder how much better the Blu-ray version can possibly be. Just like the child character in the film, the inability of adults to take the insights of children seriously enough is the only way I can explain why Haley Joel Osment didn't get the best actor Oscar for his performance here. I guess he's just too young for the academy to take him seriously? Bruce Willis has done some of his best work on this film too. Classic films like this are a one off and it's unlikely M. Night will reach the same heights of quality as he does here again although he does come close with "Unbreakable."
This is an excellent film that ages well and should be in every film-buff's library.
Highly recommended!
DVD Review: If you liked the movie it is a MUST for your collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is fantastic. It is a psychological thriller that keeps you in suspense until the end and then leaves you shocked. Multiple viewings help you discover all of the intricacies of the film. The active was superb. This is a classic that everone should own if they like the movie. This movie will be as good 10 years down the road.
Description of The Sixth Sense (Two-Disc Vista Series)
Hollywood superstar Bruce Willis (ARMAGEDDON, THE SIEGE) brings a powerful presence to an edge-of-your-seat thriller from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan (Oscar(R)-nominee for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director) that critics are calling one of the greatest ghost stories ever filmed. When Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Willis), a distinguished child psychologist, meets Cole Sear (Oscar(R)-nominee Haley Joel Osment, Best Supporting Actor), a frightened, confused, eight-year-old, Dr. Crowe is completely unprepared to face the truth of what haunts Cole. With a riveting intensity you'll find thoroughly chilling, the discovery of Cole's incredible sixth sense leads them to mysterious places with unforgettable consequences!"I see dead people," whispers little Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), scared to affirm what is to him now a daily occurrence. This peaked 9-year old, already hypersensitive to begin with, is now being haunted by seemingly malevolent spirits. Child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is trying to find out what's triggering Cole's visions, but what appears to be a psychological manifestation turns out to be frighteningly real. It might be enough to scare off a lesser man, but for Malcolm it's personal--several months before, he was accosted and shot by an unhinged patient, who then turned the gun on himself. Since then, Malcolm has been in turmoil--he and his wife (Olivia Williams) are barely speaking, and his life has taken an aimless turn. Having failed his loved ones and himself, he's not about to give up on Cole.
This third feature by M. Night Shyamalan sets itself up as a thriller, poised on the brink of delivering monstrous scares, but gradually evolves into more of a psychological drama with supernatural undertones. Many critics faulted the film for being mawkish and New Age-y, but no matter how you slice it, this is one mightily effective piece of filmmaking. The bare bones of the story are basic enough, but the moody atmosphere created by Shyamalan and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto made this one of the creepiest pictures of 1999, forsaking excessive gore for a sinisterly simple feeling of chilly otherworldliness. Willis is in his strong, silent type mode here, and gives the film wholly over to Osment, whose crumpled face and big eyes convey a child too wise for his years; his scenes with his mother (Toni Collette) are small, heartbreaking marvels. And even if you figure out the film's surprise ending, it packs an amazingly emotional wallop when it comes, and will have you racing to watch the movie again with a new perspective. You may be able to shake off the sentimentality of The Sixth Sense, but its craftsmanship and atmosphere will stay with you for days. --Mark Englehart
