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 Green Hornet (2011)
A comedy directed by Michel Gondry, starring Jay Chou.
A newspaper man's son inherits the business when his father dies. The son wakes up in the morning to find that his coffee is bad and that the man who makes it was fired (along with everyone else). He calls in the man to make his coffee and when he discovers that the coffee man is a technological genius, they become friends and try to fight crime together.
This is exactly what I've come to expect from modern Hollywood. When they want to do a film about something cool, they're going to fuck it up horribly. This film is a good lesson in that because, from the inside and the outside, stupid Americans fucked up a good thing. The split seconds of kung fu fights saved this from a shit rating. I'll just call it bad.
