singalong satisfaction
ALL THE HITS AND THEN SOME. PITY THAT TONY ORLANDO DIDN'T DO MORE SOLO WORK. A FEW TRACKS SOUND LIKE THEY WOULDN'T BE OUT OF PLACE ON THE 'BLACK AND WHITE MINSTREL SHOW' BUT THE ALBUM IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

El Orfanato (The Orphanage)
2 of 2 found this helpful 'El Orfanato' is a excellent example of the 'ghost' genre. The ominous ambience of the eponymous orphanage is supported by characterisation which includes a woman, who having lived there as a child, returns with mysterious and terrifying consequences. The grotesque image of a child who constantly wore a sack over his head permeates a clever plot in which one part of the action (Not telling which one!!) rivals the ending of 'Carrie' in making the audience jump from the safety of their skins. This film compares favourably with 'Pan's Labyrinth' (El Laberinto del Fauno, a film which I would also highly recommend.
