THE SUCK SENSE
by Rolando Recometa

I see bad movies. I see them all the time. I see them everywhere. They're bad and they don't even know it. One such movie is UNBREAKABLE. I know because I have the suck sense.

I see possible spoilers ahead. They're everywhere and you won't even know it. Unbreakable is M. Night Shyamalan's must-see follow-up to The Sixth Sense. I see The Sixth Sense in Unbreakable. I see it everywhere. I see Bruce Willis. He's not dead but I see dead acting. I see bad actors. I see them all the time. They're bad and they don't even know it. Willis is one such actor. I see two expressions: squint and smirk. I see them all the time. In Unbreakable I see him trying to be un-bruce-able. I see one expression instead. I see blank gaze for two hours. I see dead pupil. He's depressed all the time and he doesn't know why. Is it because he sees bad people? He doesn't even know it until he sees Samuel L. Jackson.

Jackson sees Willis and he knows it. He sees comic books. He sees them all the time. He sees comic book characters everywhere. He sees dead people, too, but we're not supposed to know it until the end. I see twist ending coming. I see slow pace. I see people whispering. I see them everywhere. They're whispering and they don't even know it. I see M. Night Shyamalan in one scene. I should've known.

I see twist endings. I see them all the time. I see them everywhere. Many of them are bad and they don't even know it. But when they're good, I know it. The Sixth Sense is good. I see the ending and I want to see the rest of the movie again. I see Unbreakable and I see dud ending. Jackson sees dead people, too. He sees to it, you see. I knew it.

I see exits. I see them all the time. I see them everywhere. They're there and you should know it.

I see dead grosses in the future.
