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.

Go (1999)
A comedy thriller directed by Doug Liman.
A clerk at a store takes extra hours so she can pay the bills and her co-worker can go on vacation. While he's on vacation, he pisses of some gang leaders. Meanwhile, the clerk is using his drug contacts to make money to pay her bills, but almost gets busted by some gay men from a love triangle... It's "sit-com-plicated". Think Seinfeld with young people, drugs, sex and guns.
The interweaving plotlines of this film are what makes it worth watching. The characters are very dated, although their troubles amuse me. The style was not quite as good as it could have been, but with a plot like this, it's hard to complain much. I'm rating it good.
