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.

Shaolin Soccer (2001)
A kung fu directed by and starring Stephen Chow.
A failed soccer coach works for his old rival and starts a soccer team consisting of a family of poor brothers who all studied kung fu at shaolin temple.
The characters are all very pitiful until they re-awaken their kung fu skills. The special effects are the main point of interest here, as magical kung fu skills are shown being used in the modern world. The plot is good, but the style is a little cheesy. I'm rating it adequate.
