Have you ever wanted to adopt a child? For any reason it may be? Maybe because you want to grow your family, or perhaps you just love children. For Kate Coleman (Vera Farmiga) and her husband John (Peter Sarsgaard), it was about completing their family. They will soon meet Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), an orphan from a nearby orphanage. She dresses a little funny and speaks very politely and isn't like other children... That is because she is not who she seems to be... Has the story unfolds, a mystery and dark past comes forward. A thriller with an interesting twist to it, The Orphan is not that bad a movie to watch.
Mini Synopsis
The movie will start off with Kate being pregnant and about to give birth. Her dreams of giving birth to a child soon turns into a nightmare when she suffers a miscarriage just before giving birth. She goes through extreme amounts of pain only to wake up and realize that it was just a dream of her losing her baby. Kate has however two children already. A son and a deaf-mute daughter (who is really very cute). Kate also suffers from past alcoholism and has struggled to overcome it.
The lost of her child did not help in anyway either. But she and her husband still wanted another child, seemingly wanting to complete their family. They soon head out to a nearby orphanage and meet the children. One in particular stands out... It is none other then Esther. She is an orphan from Russia who lost her family in a fire. She is polite, sweet, paints well, comes up with very nice stories and pick things up very quickly. She is the perfect child... or is she? Kate and John decides to adopt her and brought her home to meet her new siblings. Esther seems to fit in so well at first, but things will soon turn for the worst.
Creepy things slowly starts to happen. Accidents of all sorts. The weird thing was, when those so called "accidents" happen, Esther wasn't to far away. Kate beings to feel that something wasn't right but her husband John felt that Kate has yet to accept the lost of her child and is being paranoid. But Kate is determine that there is something wrong with Esther. She slowly investigates about Esther and discovers a shocking but real fact about her... The little girl they adopted was more then they expected. What is Esther hiding? Who is she really? Watch The Orphan to find out... =p
My Feedback On The Movie
Well, to be really honest, I felt that the movie was to draggy. The story line of the show was being based more on not so important issues and was being stretched for far to long. I won't deny that the twist to the story was pretty interesting and what Kate found out about Esther was shocking as well, but that only came very far towards the end and it played out very quickly. So the initial part of the whole movie was pretty draggy.
Also, an interesting fact that I read about this movie was that it was actually called to be boycotted. This was because many people calms that it portrayed a bad image for orphans and orphanages a like. But it made no sense for that really because once you find out what was wrong with Esther, you would realize that this case would probably never ever occur. So finally, I would rate The Orphan 3 out of 5 stars due to its interesting twist. So if you want to find out the secret behind Esther, watch The Orphan... Enjoy!!! =)
Looks like a very touching movie to watch, and with a twist to it! Thanks- now I have my watching plan set up for this weekend hehe. I just hope it doesn't get to scary.

Alright, But the studio has, over the last few months, been seeking both a new writer and a new director for "Mouse," with a number of up-and-comers on the list. We''ll keep you posted when they're hired, but the very fact of development momentum is noteworthy. Paramount has had success distributing DreamWorks Animation's films – the studio currently has the hit "How to Train Your Dragon" out in theaters -- but also has made the most of its few forays into animation production. "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie," a Paramount/Nick collaboration, earned $140 million worldwide back in 2004 (and that was long before the 3-D and hybrid live/animation crazes hit full bore, which could give a jolt to this one if the studio went that way).

IT IS hard to look at the Capitol in Washington, DC, without a frisson of excitement
