Movie Reviews - Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant (christian wedding poetry)

By Mr D Stevens

  Movie Reviews this week looks at the enjoyable teen fantasy Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. Regardless of the strange title of this movie, it follows in the vein of Twilight, as a few teen fantasy movies have tried to emulate since the massive success of Twilight and it’s sequel New Moon.

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant stars Chris Massoglia as Darren Shan, a well meaning, high achieving teenager, pleasing his parents, and doing well at school, however his best friend Steve played by Josh Hutcherson (Robin William’s son in RV) is regarded as bad company for Darren notably by his parents, and he is given an ultimatum after getting in trouble on account of Steve, to never see him again. As with any typical teenager feeling the need to rebel (there is a funny sequence where his father tells him, what is expected of him, college, job, family, repeatedly in that order, until Darren sees himself repeating those words to his own child).

While the two friends are hanging out, a mysterious limo drives by and out of it comes a flyer for a circus show, entitled Cirque Du Freak, hence the title of the movie, Steve as typical as the antagonist in a movie challenges Darren to come with him and attend it. It turns out Steve has a fascination for vampires, while Darren on the other hand has a fascination for spiders. On attending the Cirque Du Freak show, where a parade of circus freaks are shown for the audience’s amusement, notably a woman who can regenerate limbs, Corma Limbs played by Jane Krakowski (absolutely hilarious in 30 Rock), and Evra the snake boy, played amusingly by Patrick Fugit, as well as a monkey girl, Rebecca played by the adorable Jessica Carlson, there is a lovely scene where Darren asks her what her “freakishness” is, and she states bluntly she is a monkey girl, pauses for effect and states she has a tail, and stares at him for any hint at ridicule.

While watching one of the performances of a certain Larten Crepsley played charmingly by John C. Reilley (Step Brothers), Steve recognises him from one of his vampire books, and assures Darren he is a vampire, interestingly Larten overhears the two boys and gives them a warning not to spread mindless gossip. Darren on the other hand is fascinated by Larten’s spider, and after the show, breaks into his room and steals it; but not before finding Steve pleading with Larten to make him a vampire whilst hidden in the same room. Larten and his friend Gavner Purl played by Willem Dafoe (Spiderman) refuses, and after Larten tests his blood, he quickly spits it out and says Steve has bad blood. It turns out that there are two types of vampires, that have chosen different paths, the Vampaneze who prefer feeding and killing humans, and the others who do not, but prefer to hypnotize them, then feed on them.

Darren takes Larten’s spider, and the next day at school, while Steve assumes he is talking to his locker, Steve opens Darren’s bag and reveals the spider, which eventually bites Steve. With Steve facing imminent death, Darren goes back to the Cirque Du Freak and asks Larten if he has an antidote for the spider’s bite.

A mysterious character called Mr Tiny played by Michael Cerveris (he has one of those faces that seem strangely familiar but not quite sure where), who has the power to bring people back to life, has been looking forward for a conflict between the Vampaneze and the others for sometime, and he sees it in the destiny of the two boys, he would like Darren to join the Vampaneze, but Larten on finding about this, realises that there might be more to the boy than meets the eye, he tests his blood, and agrees to make him a half-vampire, i.e. being able to go out in the sun, and do his errands for him, however Larten’s girlfriend Madame Truska played by Salma Hayek (From Dusk Till Dawn for a second recalling From Dusk Till Dawn one would expect her to be one of the vampires, but here she is a member of the Cirque Du Freak as a fortune-telling bearded lady), urges Larten not to turn Darren into a vampire, after having a premonition. Darren initially reluctant finally agrees to this in order to save his friend’s life. Larten then tells him he can no longer stay with his family and so he must die (or at least give the impression he is dead).

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant is an enjoyable fantasy movie with numerous characters that should be developed even more in a sequel or two, and even though the name might emit tales of horror it is a more a teen romantic fantasy than anything else.

How To know If She Is The One

By Lara Sandellis

  Do you find that you when you are single you think that this girl is might be the one? Do you feel that you ever meant to be single all of your life and that you will never find that special one that is out there for you? This is what seems to happen with most of your young adults. Some of them seem to be looking of that perfect person in a world that is far from perfect.

This happens so much that some of you might find themselves thinking this very thing. With boys this seems to happen more often. With younger boys they are not ready for the whole permanent thing. They do not seem to worry about this until later. Then their reputation might be so bad that no girl in their right mind would not want to end up with them even with one date.

Remember that you will one day be in love with someone and that person might be someone you least expect. You might have known this person all of your life but only in passing. Then again this girl might be someone you just meet. It is so important to try to make a good impression but do not go so far as to try to change the way you actually are. You will want this person you have picked to see you at your best and even at your worst. You want them to do the same with you so that you will be able to tell if they are the right one.

It seems that everyone today is just so worried about being alone they do not take the time needed to look over each other and then when they do it is sometimes too late. You might look over the important things thinking that what you see is what you get with a lot of times the things you get is not what you really wanted. Look at the personality of this person you have picked. You might have picked this beautiful looking person only to find that her personality makes her look terrible. She might be happy go lucky, overbearing, overpowering or down right nasty.

Just remember to slow down and date for a while and enjoy each others company. In dating you will come upon these small flaws in a persons character after a few dates. You will usually know by this time if this girl is the right one for you.

It Takes Two For A Relationship To Last

By Lara Sandellis

  When you go to settle into a relationship remember that it always takes two. It takes two to fight and two to make up. This can be with those you live with like roommates, your husband or wife, even that total stranger you dorm with in school.

It is just a fact of life that we all fight or argue sometimes in any of these relationships. If there is a discussion that comes up in any of these relationships remember that both or all of you must agree on it. If for some reason you can not agree on this situation you will want to find a common ground. You might not totally agree but you have found a way to live with it or around it.

If you find that you have gotten on your own and found that you are having some problems with making ends meet you might start looking for this person who will be able to help you. Remember that now you do not have complete say as to how things are going to go. You have to share in everything concerning the running of this home but remember also that you are your own person and they have no say in your own affairs. What occurred before they moved in is no concern of theirs. If you had a boyfriend or girlfriend that came over to spend some time and you see that this roommate and your companion do not like each other try to make it so that no problems come up.

This can happen even with you married couples as a good friend of yours might find themselves in a bad situation where they have to ask to stay for a few days. It is important for you to ask your other half if this is okay first because if you do not ask them about this you could find yourself in an argument maybe even a fight. Remember that when you get into any relationship you plan on being in it for its duration.

If for any reason you find that you both can not come to terms to settle the problems of any relationships, except marriage, you might want to think twice about staying in the it and simply walk away. In the event that this is one of marriage getting out of this is a lot harder to do. There are more things to think on to just walk away. Sometimes you might find that you have no choice.
