David McK (3562 KP) rated The Sixth Sense (1999) in Movies

I'd never seen it.
That was mainly because I'd had the twist spoilt for me when it first came out: I was at university, doing a course on film and fiction circa 2000, and the lecturer came out with "and so, as we all now know ..." (I didn't) ".. the twist in the film is that ..."
So, yeah, I saw little point in watching it after that.
I *had* seen a few of M Night Shyamalan other films that were released later ("Signs", "Unbreakable" or "The Happening", for instance), but never really thought they were anything above average.
None the less, I decided - when I came across this on Disney+ - that it was time to go right back to 1999, right back to before Shyamalan became known for his twists, just to see if the movie held up.
It did.
Mostly.

As is said in the book, Ichi is an old soul so it doesn't seem that much of an age gap between Bobby and Ichi. This also means that there is little or none of the miscommunication that appears prevalent in some cases. These two actually talk things out, which is really refreshing to read.
Claudia does her business in keeping her boys in line and all is good with the world. I would definitely say that this book adds a certain zing to the Cole McGinnis series. Definitely recommended.
* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *

Dark Lover (Blackdagger Brotherhood 1)
By J.R Ward
Reread
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing more than Wrath, the leader of The Black Dagger Brotherhood.
The only purebred vampire left on earth, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But, when one of his most trusted fighters is killed-leaving his half-breed daughter unaware of his existence or her fate-Wrath must usher her into the world of the undead-a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams.
This is my first reread and I loved it more the second time round!! This series definitely need a second round!

Whilst surprised to see you, they none-the-less invite you in and introduce you to their friends (new to you).
Then your own relatives, who only have a passing relationship with your mate, start showing up uninvited as well; start being pass-remarkable, making demands and throwing their weight around.
That's pretty much the situation facing Admiral 'Black Jack' Geary, out beyond the frontiers of human space, in this the latest novel in the long-running 'Lost Fleet' series, with - as it turns out - experimental (and dangerous) jump space technology leaked to those left behind after he started his journey - technology that makes everything, in the words of one character 'more so'.
The result is another enjoyable read in the series, with plenty of plot threads left hanging for the inevitable sequel.
