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 Public Enemy (1931)
A crime film directed by William A. Wellman, starring James Cagney and Jean Harlow.
A young man rises through the ranks of a gang during prohibition.
Gangster flicks are cool, but this one was unimpressive. The plot was muddy and the characters weren't developed very well. It's not bad, just another regular gangster movie. I'm rating it o.k.
