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.

Cashback (2006)
A science fiction romantic comedy by Sean Ellis.
A young man is distraught over a break up with his girlfriend and cannot sleep. He takes on a night job at a grocery store and finds that he can freeze time. He also falls in love with a co-worker.
Style and originality are where it's at and this film has both. The style was really cool, with good camera angles and good production value. The plot was original and the characters were also good. The premise of freezing time worked out very well for an art student drawing customers at the grocery store. I even thought it was funny that the kung-fu guy couldn't be a good goalie when playing soccer (aka football). The 2 co-workers who would do anything but work reminded me of co-workers that I've known. I'm rating this best because it;s absolutely brilliant.
