Dreamkeeper (2003)

A Canadian adventure drama directed by Steve Barron, distributed by the Hallmark corporation.
A young native American man living on a reservation is forced to drive his grandfather to the All Nations Powwow. Along the way, they meet people and get in situations which the grandfather explains by telling stories.
This was actually pretty cool. The CG, special effects and monsters were a little over-done, but the plot and characters were good. They used a speeded up/time lapse effect that looked not so great in some scenes and there was a giant snake that came out of a pond which was obviously CG. The grandfather's stories shared about equal (or correct portion) of the time with the characters' journey to the powwow and I liked the ending. I'm rating it adequate.

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.
