Rating: Summary: The effects are awsome! Review: We first saw this on cable and decided we had to have it on DVD. Arabian Nights is a terrific story well told in this modern adaptation. Get your own copy, you'll be glad you did.

Rating: Summary: Never EVER tell the same joke twice.... Review: What are you to do when you're married to a husband who is a pathological misogynist who wants to kill you because he believes you're out to assasinate him? Why, you tell him stories to keep him pre-occupied, of course.This is an enchanting, delightfully well done DVD which tells the story of Sheherazade. In the movie you will find dazzling tales and wonderful storytelling as she does what she can to ensure that hubby does not kill her. The stories are varied in their content and are sure to keep his attention (as well as yours!). Mili Avital is wonderful as Sheherazade; her dark, exotic beauty & regal composure make her perfect for the part. The cast also includes several reputable actors who have a background in theatre (always a + in my book). The great Jason Scott Lee is a fabulous touch in his role as Alladin. Purchase this film & travel back in time to a wondrous & mystical time. Artisan has put together another top-knotch winner here; one that is not only exemplery, but a movie the whole family can enjoy. I would also recommend giving a listen to the Sheherazade musical score written by the Russian composer Nikolai Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov. This is one of the most beautiful, poetic, visually entrancing feel-good movies I've seen in quite awhile.
Rating: Summary: "havn't I heard this before" Review: You may have heard these stories before, but "Arabian Nights" retells them in a stunningly artistic fasion. The Storys constantly jump back to the sultan and his death-defying bride, adding to their personas all the magic, courage and senuality of the charecters in the tales that she recounts.
