“The Orphanage”: the film everyone SHOULD be talking about!
After a weekend of pure box office dominance, “Cloverfield” is counting its riches as it has already grossed a $16-million profit. 
However, this is not the movie everyone should be talking about. There is a foreign feature film in limited release across the U.S. that is so good I had chills almost the entire movie. I am talking about “The Orphanage”, a movie that is so good, you will immediately be discussing whether or not you should be including it in the top three best movies you have ever seen. The film uses sound, lighting and character development to power its twisted, riveting tale. Belen Rueda stars as Laura, the main character of the movie. She is a fantastic actress that holds your attention from the minute she steps onto the screen. To whet your appetite just a little, here is a basic plot overview: Laura lives at an orphanage as a child and returns to the very same house as an adult to fix it up and begin an orphanage of her own. She has an adopted son named Simon who is quite a young actor himself. Simon begins acting a little funny and ultimately disappears during a kick-off party for the house. What happened to Simon? The mystery lying within the boys disappearance is unraveled before the audience, who are all captivated by the masterpiece they are witnessing. I will not say anymore because I do not want to ruin the film for anyone else, but I highly recommend it and hope that it receives its due when award season comes around…
