An interesting take on all of the vampire rage as of late, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant shows not only the view of a vampire, but a view on other dysfunctional people such as a monkey girl, a bearded lady, or a woman who can grow back arms - talk about FREAKY. John C. Reilly always seems to be repulsive although charming all at the same time and I never seem to know how or why, but I always enjoy watching him on the tube. Interesting film, but a cut-off ending. Leaves you hanging with the story with not a whole ending to what you may view as a battle of friendship would end. Either way, the comedic reliefs in the film were quite amusing.

Interesting story line with an intriguing plot, but where does the acting come into play? How to Rob a Bank was a good idea for a movie that was put into the wrong hands for cast choice and screenplay direction. About half way through I wanted my friend to turn it off/change the channel. Always they seemed to be talking on the phone and it was irritating the fire out of me. This isn't acting. This is phone chatter, which is not real acting in the film-making industry. DUH. Use these two hours that you would be watching this film and save it for a loved one. It's not worth your time.
