In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Arabian Nights (2000)
A fantasy directed by Steve Barron, by the Hallmark Entertainment corporation.
An insane sultan marries a woman who he intends to kill in the morning. She tells him cliffhanger stories to delay her execution.
The characters were alright and the plot was good. They made good use of special effects and high quality set and costumes. The main problem was continuity. The film jumped around the various subplots without warning. This was originally a television mini-series, but the version that I got was a 3 hour movie. I'm rating it adequate.
