But it was groundbreaking, stunning, and had a few significant twists and turns that made it brilliant and unforgettable. I was also so impressed with Bruce Willis in this role - not his usual type of gig, but he showed that he can do different types of roles very well.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-46498920051421112892019-04-02T19:16:26.079-04:002019-04-02T19:16:26.079-04:00Lee, the original is a classic.Lee, the original is a classic.Alex J.

My friend you signed in, which is awesome that's how I knew you joined us I'm stopping by everyone else now too.. well, I have been little by little. ANYWAY......... I THANK YOU for the introduction to this song you posted. How interesting and I had my husband listen to it too. We're not into this type of music, but my husband had retired from the music business for a while because he was taken care of me, but he's practicing again to get back into the swing & possibly a band again. Although this isn't quite his type of music he says he loved the guitar portion of it. They were really awesome & some of the riffs were fan-freakin-tastic as he said!!! hehehe~ Thank you so very much for joining us, and I just have one question for you my friend... Do you believe in ghosts??? For my home is haunted and I know that for a fact.XmasDollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060699205106128834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-74798203406756059292019-03-30T11:37:18.742-04:002019-03-30T11:37:18.742-04:00I have watched The Others many times and also have...I have watched The Others many times and also have watched The Sixth Sense.

I like a wide range of them, too. Like "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir", "Poltergeist", and "Ghost." (I'm sure there are lots more of them, too...)<br /><br />An "adult" animated movie, huh? Reminds me of an adult cartoon I saw in the theater many years ago. It was French, I think, and the "lead" was a cat who looked similar to our Felix the cat, and his name was similar, too. It was quite a shocker!

The filmography the ambience and the mystery of it was done really good. It's one I'll have to purchase on DVD. I do have to admit that Sixth Sense was one of my least favourites. It had a lot of good points in it such as the blue/grey hue style of the scenes that made it ethereal. But the biggest problem I had with it was that the movie depended on the ironic ending to much which is a problem for me with many of Shayamalan's movies. Now The Others I liked. The haunted house setting was done really well in that one.Steven Arellano Rose Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03874980314982333471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-138065777780896432019-03-27T18:28:58.986-04:002019-03-27T18:28:58.986-04:00I didn't think Bird Box was bad, as others had...I didn't think Bird Box was bad, as others had said.
