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.

Wall Street (1987)
A drama directed by Oliver Stone, starring Charlie Sheen.
A young stock broker idolizes a richer man in his line of work. When he works for this man, he gets very rich, very fast. Eventually, the senior broker turns out to be corrupt and working with him turns out to be a bad idea.
As cool as Charlie Sheen may be and as good as this year was for making good films, this did not live up to it's potential. The plot and characters were stale and the setting is overused. I was constantly interrupted while watching this film, so that may have something to do with my rating. I'm rating it poor because it didn't seem good, but I couldn't give it my full attention.
