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.

Mommie Dearest (1981)
A biography directed by Frank Perry, starring Faye Dunaway.
Joan Crawford adopts 2 children and abuses them throughout their lives as her acting career fails.
This is the film featuring the classic line about "wire hangers!" (pictured). The main character is a bitch and she turns the "daughter" into a money grubbing slut. That's pretty much all that happens. The characters were pretty good, but I think the plot was lacking a little bit. I'm rating it o.k. because it passed the time, but that's all it did.
