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.

Jumanji (1995)
A fantasy directed by Joe Johnston, starring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst.
A boy finds a magic board game and plays it with a girl he knows. The game causes jungle things to pop into existence in the area that it is played in. The boy gets sucked into the board game and the girl runs away. 26 years later, a brother and sister pick up the same game and start to play. They release the boy (now a man) from the game and retrieve the girl (now a woman) who played it with him in order to finish the game.
Robin Williams is cool. It's a fact. The plot and characters were good. The style had a little too much CG for my tastes, but the pacing was right. I remember watching this film when it came out and liking it. I'm rating it good.
