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 Lost Boys (1987)
A comedy horror directed by Joel Schumacher, starring Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland and Corey Feldman.
2 brothers and their divorced mother move to a new town to live with their grandfather. The older boy gets turned into a vampire while chasing a girl and the younger meets a pair of vampire hunters.
Everybody goes on and on about how good this film is, but I just don't think it's as cool as they say it is. It is, indeed, very popular, but that says nothing about quality. The soundtrack of mediocre and boring rock tunes is my main beef. The characters and plot are good, but the style wasn't to my liking. I'm not saying it's a bad film, just not as good as it's hyped up to be. I'm rating it adequate.
