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.

Cutthroat Island (1995)
An adventure directed by Renny Harlin, starring Geena Davis.
A female pirate captain leads her crew on a quest for treasure. The military and other pirates oppose them in this venture.
This is a pirate movie. Swashes are buckled and the poop deck gets a thorough swabbing. It looks like they did all of the stunts in slow motion so they could cheat somehow, but that doesn't matter. The plot and characters were good and I like pirate movies, so I'm rating it good.
