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.

Splice (2009)
A science fiction directed by Vincenzo Natali, starring Adrien Brody (who starred in The Pianist).
Gene research scientists add human DNA to an experiment. The resulting creation is strange and they try to hide it from their lab partners.
New science fiction with good special effects doesn't usually float my boat, but this was cool. The genetic creation is the best and most dynamic character as it continually changes. I watched it for entertainment value and I wasn't let down. I'm rating it good.
