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.

Adam's Apples (2005)
A black comedy directed by Anders Thomas Jensen.
A man is released from prison and required to live at a church with 2 other ex-convicts like himself and a priest. The priest tells him that he needs to complete a task and the man chooses to bake an apple pie.
The characters were entertaining and the plot was interesting. This is another one in which everyone has problems. The film is relatively short and worth watching. My favorite scene was the one in which the men shoot some crows out of the apple tree. Usually comedies don't get very good scores here, but the dark sense of humor in this one sets it apart from others. I'm rating it good.
