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.

Scarface (1983)
A crime film written by Oliver Stone, directed by Brian De Palma, starring Al Pacino.
A small time thug from Cuba moves to America and up the ranks of organized crime.
This is a very famous film in some circles. It's far more brash than the 1932 version and I would have to say, more entertaining. Al Pacino puts on the best performance as "the fuckin' badguy" and the plot is pretty good. I'm rating it adequate.
