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 Joneses (2009)
A drama directed by Derrick Borte.
A fake family moves into a new neighborhood where their job is to make people want the things that they have. At first they are doing great, but then things begin to fall apart for them.
a/v was fine.
You know the old phrase, "keeping up with the joneses". Well, that's what this movie is about. The premise was really cool, but after that, it went downhill. The soundtrack was horrible and some of the things that the actors did seemed really fake, like they were trying way too hard. I'm rating it o.k. because I like the premise and the idea of the "perfect" family not being as perfect as they seem.
