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.

Quick Change (1990)
A crime comedy by Bill Murray, co-starring Geena Davis.
A man disguised as a clown initiates a bank robbery. 2 of the hostages in the bank are his friends and when the police ask for hostages to be released, the 3 criminals come out instead. With the bank job a success, they try to leave the city as fast as they can, but are held up by a series of problems.
This is the only film that lists Bill Murray as a director, so his comedic style is all over it. If I didn't see the date, I would have thought it was an '80s film, as the plot and characters reek of that time period. The style was way '80s as well, with '90s production value. It wasn't anything special, but not too shabby. I'm rating it adequate.
