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.

Beowulf (1999)
A fantasy directed by Graham Baker, starring Christopher Lambert.
A hero arrives at a castle besieged by a monster. He fights the monster and cuts off it's arm. Everyone celebrates until the monster comes back. The hero then kills the monster and it's mother.
This should have been called "Flipowulf vs. Pretendel". The hero does flip after flip, aided by some kung fu wire and the monster has this stupid video effect on it all the time. While this is happening, techno-rave music is playing ever so cheesily. That just about explains the film, so I'm rating it o.k.
