The things you’ll do for family. Yes, I took my little sister and my cousin to see this horrible excuse for a film while I was in Sligo this weekend. It was truly terrible. The basic plot isn’t all that … Continue reading

I found this to be a very disappointing film. I had enjoyed Shyamalan’s films and had hoped for something equally as good.

Once I started watching Sixth Sense what she had said well, it was pretty obvious. Continue reading
