Why He Rocks

 * 10) He can handle criticism on his films. Even with his most popular and/or famous films (including Roger Rabbit), he can easily handle criticism.
 * 11) I Wanna Hold Your Hand was a very nice way to start his directing career.
 * 12) He has frequently collaborated with Tom Hanks three times. The fourth collaboration with Zemeckis and Hanks will be Zemeckis' upcoming Pinocchio live-action film.
