A Director is Born and a Star is Born!

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2009)

Do not read this if you have not seen this movie. Unfortunately someone asked me a question about Sixth Sense before I had seen it and I missed out on the experience that this Masterpiece delivers to its viewers. I'll never know if I might've "had a clue." This film was brilliantly conceived and pieced together by M. Night Shyamalan. It was perfectly cast and Haley Joel Osment became a star through his work in this film. Bruce Willis was never better and Donnie Wahlberg was magnificent in a brief, but key role. Toni Collette and Olivia Williams and the rest of the cast all make it work so well. Being the creator of the Great Character Actors Web Page, I very much appreciate supporting actors who rarely get the credit they deserve. Finally, I see M. Night Shyamalan as the "new" Hitchcockian director. Although some of his more recent efforts have not been well received, I think he has a lot more surprises and "treasures" in store for us. Hitchcock had his "Marnie", "Topaz" and "Torn Curtain" yet he gave us "Psycho", "North by Northwest" and "Frenzy" just to name a few!
