...replies his vampire mentor, the cloaked and mysterious Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly), “that’s bullshit.” This is not the only instance in Paul Weitz’s new film, “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire??s Assistant,” in which Crepsley correctly associates his young apprentice with tedium, puerility, or just bullshit. In fact, the film is driven by leading adult figures who barely tolerate the unfortunate ingénues who have stumbled into the limelight of the film. Though it consciously perpetuates hackneyed young...

...asked me when I was little what my concept of vampires was, I would have said something combining Tom Cruise’s portrayal in “Interview with the Vampire?? with the goth kids that hung out at the piano-store end of the mall—altogether a frightening image. If you ask most American kids that same question today, they would likely respond with a description of Robert Pattinson.The symbol of the vampire, older than our country, has once again been appropriated for consumption by a modern audience in the shallow form...

...other as a quirky, awkward young couple, and Dunst is, as always, at her best when quietly channeling a vaguely whimsical detachment (it’s a delight to see her once again deliver on that early spark of promise that so distinguished “Interview with the Vampire??). Idling somewhere between deep, existential dissatisfaction and a more than passing affinity for spectacle and self-indulgence, Coppola’s Marie drifts as aimlessly through the film as she does through her hermetically sealed world of gossip and isolation.Early in the film, after a farcical morning...

Directed by Jon Favreau Sony Pictures Entertainment 3 stars Somewhere between kissing Brad Pitt in “Interview with a Vampire?? and dating Peter Parker in “Spider-Man,” Kirsten Dunst had a cuter performance in “Jumanji,” a film that is probably only remembered for a bewilderingly scary performance by Robin Williams. “Zathura,” a pseudo-sequel to “Jumanji,” is thankfully nothing like its predecessor. The premise is the same, but this is an entirely...
