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.

Kung Fu Hustle (2004)
A kung fu by Stephen Chow.
A poor tenement home is attacked by the axe gang and a petty criminal who is a secret kung fu master defends it.
This film is like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon drunk. There's flying and CG and it's all done to make the fu amazing. There is actual character development and a lot of humor that is delivered in a way that Americans aren't used to. It may seem like I've gone soft, but I'm reviewing old DVDs again. I'm rating this best.
