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.

Angel Town (1990)
An action film directed by Eric Karson, starring Olivier Gruner.
A French kickboxer goes to a university in East L.A. and rents an apartment in a gang-infested neighborhood. He gets involved in a conflict between his landlords and the gang.
The plot and characters were hokey, but the fights were decent. I'm not saying they were good, as Tony Jaa makes these guys look Cro-Magnon in comparison. The hero seemed like a cheap copy of Jean-Claude Van Damme and fought and acted accordingly. Check out the cover for proof of this. This is o.k. if you're just looking to see some Latino gangsters get beat up, but otherwise, avoid it. I'm rating it o.k.
