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 Chumscrubber (2005)
A black comedy directed by Arie Posin, starring Glenn Close.
A boy's friend and drug dealer kills himself and some other kids at school want him to go and get his friend's remaining drugs for them. They try to kidnap his brother to hold hostage until he gives them the drugs.
Another black comedy with a twisted and complex plot. I see the joke about modern society, parent-child relationships and not seeing the forest because there are so many trees. There were some parts that were funny, but most things were not concluded properly. A prime example of this is the drugs in the casserole at the wedding. This just didn't do it for me. I'm rating it o.k.
