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.

brick (2005)
a mystery directed by rian johnson
ever seen a film noir? imagine that, only modern with high school kids. a girl is murdered, bad drug deals are made, drug dealer is searched out by the "detective". it's a pretty standard plot from the 1920s.
video was excellent, but they overdid the whisper-blast technique. I had to turn up the sound to hear dialogue, only to be blown away by sound effects and music. maybe I should get a compressor for my computer.
I'm giving this a bad review because high school is not the place for a murder-mystery. I don't want to hear modern kids calling the cops "bulls" and use other film noir elements in a 2005 high school setting. unless you're a high school student who likes film noir, DON'T WATCH IT!
