There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
Kung Fu MonkeyOne of the worst movies I've ever seen. John Cusac will have to answer for this in the afterlife. Some amazing special affects, but the story is implausible and the acting horrible.
