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 Beach (2000)
A British drama directed by Danny Boyle, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
A young man on vacation in Thailand meets a crazy man with a map to a "perfect" island. He invites the French couple who are staying in the same hotel to go there with him. When they get there they find a closed community of people.
The plot and characters were alright and the premise was interesting. The style and production value were "new movie too perfect" all the way. The main character was very dynamic and had several changes throughout the film. The whole independent community thing seems like a good idea to start with, but as demonstrated in the film, problems could arise. I'm rating this adequate because it was alright and I didn't see giant flaws.
