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.

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
A fantasy directed by Guillermo Del Toro. A girl must complete a series of perilous tasks in order to regain her place as a princess in another world. Meanwhile, her mother is married to a war captain who is fighting stray bands of rebels in the countryside. I always talk about how bad CG is and how I don't like it, but it turned out to be good in this film. The fantastic CG beings were actually the best part! It was in Spanish with English subtitles. The style was very good and it gave a good impression of the fantasy world being connected to the real world, but not entirely the same. Overall, I think it was cool. I'm rating this good.
