Cirque Du Freak

We saw Cirque today and it was pretty good. I don't even know if I spelled that correctly or not. It was kind of predictable but the ending left it open for another movie, which I wouldn't mind seeing. John C. Reilly does a great job as the vampire with a really cool deadly spider. Of course the main characters are best buddies in high school, one is the bad apple and the other is the straight arrow good kid. The bad apple studies Vampires and the good kid studies spiders. So of course the good kid ends up as the vampire because he tries to save his friend from the spider bite. There are some really interesting freaks in the circus and a cute romance develops between the good kid and the monkey girl. There is a great fight at the end between the good vampires and the bad vampires.

One note. We saw previews of "The Wolfman" which is coming out soon. It looks awesome, the wolfman looks just like Lon Chaney, Jr. looked in the original movie of the same name. Can't wait.
