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 Salton Sea (2002)
A crime drama directed by D.J. Caruso, starring Val Kilmer and Peter Sarsgaard.
A man and his wife are caught in a shootout when thieves storm a meth lab where they were asking for directions. The wife dies and the man becomes a snitch for the DEA in order to avenge his lost love.
Good plot, characters, style and pacing. It's basically a good movie with nothing inferior in it. For the time that it was made, this is a megalithic achievement. I'm rating it one of those good solid green ratings that I like so much.
