The Shining is kind of similar in that regard. The power does nothing to help Danny. In fact, it just serves to make him even more miserable. I viewed the shining as just another curse. It allowed him to revisit these horrible scenes. It's kind of like the Sixth Sense except that Danny was never given the opportunity to help the ghosts. These things just wanted to kill/terrify/madden. I suppose that is why I accept Danny's shining to the ghosts in Crimson Peak. The ghosts in the Shining were all part of this malignant force that worked to get Jack to murder his family. Crimson Peak's ghosts were just sad imprints that tried to get justice on their killers by pointing to clues—very much similar to the little girl in the Sixth Sense.
Ooh, Inside Out. It was a good movie. I was pleased to see so much of my psychology classes show up here. I'm no parent, but I bet this would be a good movie for parents and preteens to watch together so that the preteen won't feel alone when going through mood swings and maybe will confide in the parent? Sound reasonable?
I think Hudsucker Proxy is my favorite Coen. I've not seen them all, and it's hard to top Lebowski. But Hudsucker amuses me because of the absurd brush used to paint corporate America. It's not as absurd as Brazil, but it has plenty of moments that are laughable and cringeworthy. And hey, Bruce Campbell. Bonus. I think my favorite gag is the moment of silence they make everyone observe and then dock their pay of that minute they were forced to take.
