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 51st State (2001)
A crime comedy directed by Ronny Yu, starring Samuel L. Jackson.
A drug chemist goes to England to sell his formula, but when he gets there everything goes wrong.
Samuel L. Jackson is a good actor. I like the roles that he plays in films, but in this one, I thought he was under-cast. He has way more potential than this role allowed him to exhibit. The plot and characters were stereotypical of the genre and the style was "new movie", so I didn't enjoy it very much. I'm rating this bad because it is.
