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.

the skulls (2000)
a drama directed by rob cohen
a young man joins a secret society and one of his friends doesn't like this.
the video was good, but the audio was plagued by pop music. the good news: no whisper-blast.
check out: how they play off the secret society thing like it's fictional.
this contains a pg version of secret society initiation. I don't think the film would have come out if these guys laid naked in coffins and narrated their entire sexual history. I do like how they made their secret society hidden in every part of the government like the real one. the name "the skulls" is obviously referring to the skull and bones society at yale. the other thing I don't like is how the guys steal the emblem of another society. they act like this concept is so fictional and there are lots of different fictional secret societies. I'm giving this a bad review because of the implied fiction of the concept, nt staying true to the non-fiction of the concept, and for the shitty pop music. for the REAL story, just watch alex jones' films.
