Last Monday I finally made it to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles and was thrilled by all the screen-used costumes, props, set pieces and more on display there. Being an avid Marvel Comics reader since the 1980s, if I had to say what my favourite discovery there was, the thing that really got my nerdy fanboy heart pounding, it would be Halle Berry's weather-controlling 'Ororo Monroe' aka 'Storm' costume from 2000's X-Men movie. The film really was the start of the modern superhero movie era and saw the telepathic 'Professor Charles Xavier' and his band of former students and super-powered teachers at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters take on 'Magneto', the Master of Magnetism, and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants on the big screen for the first time.
