i have see this movie count time now and still can not get sick of it . it like a frickin drug . i know a lot of people do not like it but there something about it that just draw me in . every single performance be spectacular and but aaliyah be the one who steal the show . she not only play the role of akasha she become it . her body movement and beauty be capture exceptionally well . it also nice to see that a black girl be choose for the role of an egyptian queen ( no and i be not predjudice against white people and i be one ) . true it not know what color the ancient egyptian really be but this be a nice change . stuart townsend completely make me forget about tom cruise portrayel of lestat and marguerite be strike once again . all in all it be a good time at the movie . for those who haven not see it and be sure to watch it with an open mind and not take it too seriously . i mean and it a movie about a vampire who become a rock star . take it a that .
