The Sixth Sense

There is... NO WAY... this is by the same M. Night Shyamalan. I mean it wasn't perfect but holy hell did I love this movie. It did have a lot of Shyamalan points that drove me nuts. Child dialogue that doesn't sound like a child should say it. Child consoling parent instead of parent consoling child. Pointless panovers that make you want to nutpunch the camera guy. And my personal favorite, the psychiatrist not aware that the naked guy in his bathroom could have a weapon hidden even though he was naked (yeah that alone wasn't suspicious at ALL), and not incapacitating him while he was still seemingly harmless. I mean he broke into your fucking home! HELLO?! Here in hick country his ass would already be down with a few slugs in it!

But yeah other than that it was great, just great. The clues were so obvious and I even noticed a few, I'm kind of really upset with myself for not seeing the plot twist coming ahead of time.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

It's official; I'm no longer a Star Wars virgin. I have finally watched all six films in preparation for The Force Awakens which I eagerly await with my pre-ordered tickets. Revenge of the Sith is undoubtedly my favorite of the prequels and my second favorite overall, behind The Empire Strikes Back; I was surprised by how much they stepped up their game and ended the trilogy in a darker, more emotional way. In Revenge of the Sith, the Jedi Knights are spread out all over the galaxy leading a massive clone army against the Separatists. Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to kill the leader of the Separatist Army, General Grievous. Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker becomes closer to Chancellor Palpatine who is secretly a Sith Lord and eventually leads Anakin to yield to the dark side of the Force and become Darth Vader. Although Anakin's transition to the dark side was only foreshadowed in Attack of the Clones, it is a major theme in this movie and gives the film much more dramatic depth to explore. Watching his mind wawrp into that of an eventual Sith Lord is almost tragic in context with the rest of the trilogy, and it makes Episode III the most emotionally driven prequel. Hayden Christensen's acting is still questionable as ever, which I blame on poor writing. He has great facial expressions and body language, but the material he has to work with is dreadful at times. Even then, Revenge of the Sith is still a wholly satisfying and terrific ending to the prequel trilogy. From its memorable opening action sequence to the final scene showing Darth Vader's construction, Revenge of the Sith is a thrilling and impressive conclusion to the trilogy.

9/10

Tfanasy, I'm sure you have, but have you seen Young Frankenstein? I think that was one of the best, joining Shawn of the Dead, Evil Dead 2, Ghostbusters. It's been so long, I'm actually not sure if I saw Saturday the 14th or not.

Tell me you loved Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

Yes, I loved Young Frankenstein!! I always thought Marty Feldman was kick ass!! I watched Saturday the 14th and it was horrible....

Yes, I was a fan of the Bill & Ted movies. It seems like I enjoyed the horror/comedies more when I was younger. Now, I just really enjoy horror without all the goofy shit in it.

GALAXY QUEST (1999). Really enjoyed this, especially after watching a couple seasons of the original STAR TREK. Quite funny and touching with decent special FX. ****

Indeed, Galaxy Quest was a very pleasant surprise.

I've seen Signs and was not a fan. At all. When I saw he was responsible for Sixth Sense going in I was a tad afraid, but sweet Jesus am I glad I stuck it out. Fantastic movie, I want to see this turned into a horror comedy sitcom with the kid and his shrink putting spirits to rest like a buddy cop Ghost Whisperer, omfg that would be PRICELESS.
