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.

Big Jake (1971)
An American western directed by George Sherman, starring John Wayne.
The outlaws are introduced and they kidnap a boy. The boy's grandmother sends for her separated husband to go get the boy. The grandfather brings his Indian friend and his 2 sons to help.
Standard issue gunslinger flick. The plot and characters are very clear and well defined. The style is extremely mediocre, as is the production value. The acting of the sons was a little shoddy, but not TROMAish. I'm rating this o.k. because it is very standard, or stock if you speak Metallica lingo.
