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 Sandlot (1993)
A comedic drama by David Mickey Evans.
A group of kids play baseball in an empty lot next to a house where a giant dog is kept outside. When their ball goes over the fence, they don't chase it for fear of "The Beast".
This film is geared toward younger audiences. I watched it in the theater when it came out and liked it a lot, but now it's not as cool. I'm too tired to be picky, so the stereotypical characters amused me. The plot was alright, but every time that the kids were about to get the special ball back, they stand there gawking like morons for too long and the dog ruins their plan. The surprise ending is pretty cool (not spoiling). I'm rating it adequate.
