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.

Romeo + Juliet (1996)
A drama directed by Baz Luhrmann, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Daines and John Leguizamo.
A boy and a girl from feuding families fall in love. The boy's friends save him and try to help the 2, but something goes wrong.
This is a very modern adaptation of the old Shakespeare play. The characters and plot are good, but I found the presentation lacking. The modern world does not seem to mix well with Shakespeare. They stayed pretty true to the original script, but I suspect that some things were changed. I'm rating this adequate because the source material was good, but it was over-produced.
