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.

Jurassic Park series (1993 - 2001)
A science fiction directed by Steven Spielberg and Joe Johnston, starring Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum.
An old man decides that real live dinosaurs would make a neat theme park attraction, so he fills a few islands with them. He invites a few people to test the park and one of his co-workers breaks the park. From there on, it's just a pre-historic digital and animatronic zoo.
The first film was great. The characters and plot were good and the dinosaurs were cool to watch. The sequels lost a star each time and seemed forced, like they were just trying to make money. I was going to make a "moron move" list of all the mistakes the characters made in the films, but it would fill 2 pages. I have a dissertation on character behavior in disaster situations hidden somewhere in this blog. I'm rating the first film good and the other 2 adequate.
