Watched Orphan last night. I had a strange response to this movie's previews: I was totally into it. This is strange because usually I don't get worked up to see movies AND because no one else in the universe shared my excitement. (A friend who frequently and purposefully watches awful movies with us wouldn't come near this thing.) Anyway, I was pumped: Was Esther a ghost or just a crazy kid? What IS wrong with Esther??? But due to finances, poor reviews, passing time, and a wandering attention span I forgot about poor Esther and her psycho orphan-hood.
Last night we got it in on Netflix, and let's just skip all the rigamarole and get down to brass tacks: This movie F-ing RULES. All of the female parts are played exquisitely (especially the roles of Max (the most adorable child in the universe) and Kate (baby mama)). There is a twist ending I wouldn't have seen coming if someone hadn't told me about it ahead of time. And Esther is freaking creepy! She even has a Russian accent!!! I say an awesome scary movie, if that's your bag. 24 stars.
