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.

JFK (1991)
A drama by Oliver Stone, starring Kevin Costner, Kevin Bacon, Joe Pesci and John Candy.
A man researches the death of John F. Kennedy in preparation for a trial.
When I watch a film that is named after a person, I usually expect that person to be in the film even if another actor has to play their part. This was not the case. The film begins with news footage of Mr. Kennedy being shot. Besides this glaring defect, the film was pretty good. I liked how the characters were portrayed and the subject matter was interesting. It would have gotten a good rating if it had a different name. I'm going with adequate.
