Before I was ever a movie nerd, I was a comic book
nerd. In fact, you can say that I was destined to be one. When I was in utero,
my parents believed that I was going to be a girl. My brother, Arik, how was
seven at the time, held on to the hope that I would be a boy. An active comic
book reader, himself, he struck up a deal with my dad to name me if I was a
boy. At the time, Arik’s favorite comic book character was

Adam's Top 5: Robot Movies
Iron Giant (1999)
This is one of those movies that were universally heralded, but nobody went to the theater to watch. First seen as a failure, but later deemed successful after it recouped its costs in the rental and video market. Before Brad Bird directed Ratatouille and the Incredibles, he directed this wonderful movie. 9-year old Hogarth finds and befriends a giant alien robot (Vin Diesel) that, upon entry to Earth, loses its memory and the fact that it was sent to destroy Earth. This movie has a great story that touches upon many adult themes that will make it enjoyable for adults and the animation is great, so the kids will like it as well.

5 More Things That I Hate About Movies
The Following is a running list of things that bother me about movies:
- No dropped calls except during emergencies. What frustrates me about this is that the only place that I drop calls is at my own house. So if you call me while I am watching a movie, I might pause a movie that this is happening, only to drop the call mid-sentence.
- People lie in bed with blankets up to their neck. I can understand if every movie took place in Alaska. During the winter. But sometimes it is annoying trying to get that PG-13 Rating.
- People hold their hands up to the oppisite sides of a glass window. The only time that I can say that people really do this, is at the zoo. At an ape exhibit.
