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.

Apollo 18 (2011)
A science fiction directed by Gonzalo Lopez Gallego.
A team of astronauts land on the moon and find a Russian spacecraft and a dead Russian. The items that they leave outside their ship get moved when they are not looking and when one of them goes out to fix the communications, he complains that there is something moving in his suit.
The characters were not identifiable (even though there were so few of them) but the plot was alright. The "found footage" style seemed o.k. in some parts, but in others it was a total mess. The filmmakers' idea of extra terrestrials was slightly comical to me. I call them moon mice and this film does not get CG monster points. I'm rating this o.k.
