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.

Surviving the Game (1994)
An action film directed by Ernest R. Dickerson, starring Ice-T and Gary Busey.
A homeless man takes a job in a hunting expedition. He goes to the cabin with the hunters, they have a big meal and lots of wine, they have him sleep in a nice bed. Then they wake him up in the morning and tell him that they are hunting him and the chase begins.
1994 was one of the last few years that I consider the "golden age of modern cinema". Ice-T does a very good job of portraying an angry black man and Gary Busey does a good job of acting mentally disturbed, I wonder why... The whole chase section is great as Ice-T leads the hunters astray while he doubles back and sabotages them. There are some interesting points relating to freemasonry in this film. The main character's name is Mason and when the hunters are sitting on a hill at night, they look into the sky and mention the dog star, Sirius. I distinctly remember Sirius being mentioned at some point in relation to the Illuminati and the new world order, but at the moment, I'm having a tough time figuring out exactly how. I'm rating this good because it just is.
