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.

Frida (2002)
An art biography directed by Julie Taymor, starring Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas.
The life of Frida Kahlo is shown with her art and relationship with Diego Rivera.
The characters were good and so was the plot. There were some creative cut-scenes that were really cool, but overall it wasn't anything to get worked up over. The main detractor was Frida's art. Her style is so flat, like all artists from that movement. There was an interesting comment about David Siquieros that I found amusing. The other thing that bugged me was the fake uni-brow. I'm rating it adequate because it's definitely better than o.k., but nothing fantastic.
