Disaster movies aren't usually remembered for the human emotion that's in it, they're remembered for the special effects. Here, the two are brought together in a unique and memorable way. James Horner did an excellent job writing a beautiful score. The special effects are dazzling and the storyline held my interest until the very end. The performances also make up the core of the movie. Tea Leoni works well here. She has some nice scenes with Maximilian Schell and Vanessa Redgrave. Leelee Sobieski and Elijah Wood are convincing as the two teenagers. Morgan Freeman makes a very good President. However, the film's best performance comes from the brilliant Vanessa Redgrave, who is quietly emotional in her scenes and also very sad. We, unfortunately, don't see her as often as we should. Overall, a great movie that is one of the best in the sci-fi genre.
I enjoyed this film very much. Geena Davis and Madonna were terrific as well as Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell and Lori Petty. Before I saw this film, I never knew there was a women's baseball league way back then. There isn't really much else to say, except that it is highly entertaining and features the brilliant song, "This Used To Be My Playground".
I can honestly say that this is one of my all-time favorite films. "The Sixth Sense" has it all. Drama, fantasy, a little horror, and occasional humor that makes it worth watching. Haley Joel Osment gives his spectacular Oscar-nominated performance here that is quite memorable. Bruce Willis is great in his sentimental role as the psychologist who works tirelessly to help this poor boy who sees dead people. Toni Collette (who also received an Oscar nomination) is also wonderful as the boy's mother. Overall, an enchanting film that was splendidly directed and acted. James Newton Howard also did a marvelous job giving the film it's spiritual feel with his beautiful music.
