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.

Mississippi Burning (1988)
A drama directed by Alan Parker, starring Gene Hackman.
Legal representatives from the north go to a southern town after civil rights workers are killed. They are there to track down the killers and have them prosecuted.
This film was just over 2 hours, but it felt like 3. Everything about it was dull and boring. There were a few violent scenes, but nothing to get excited over. There was also a church burning scene that would make Count Grishnackh proud. I'm rating it poor for not holding my interest.
