20 Years Ago Today: In Praise of 3 Ninjas

You need only utter the words "Rocky loves Em-ily" or "Light up the eyes!" to transport me to the wondrous time known as the early '90s, when timeless classics — timeless, I say! — such as Touchstone's tale of Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum opened up new worlds for 11-year-old me. Hollywood.com's Michael Arbeiter knows what I'm talking about: "[As] rich and dense as the history of the ninja might be, it wasn't until the date of August 7, 1992, exactly twenty years ago today, that the identity of the Japanese spy and soldier really hit its potential in terms of relevance in the canon of American film. For on this date, the great Jon Turtletaub bequeathed unto the world his third directorial feature: 3 Ninjas." Preach.

Thanks to Arbeiter for bringing this '90s kid-cinema essential back into the conversation with his open letter (3 Ninjas: 20 Years Later? Sign me up!), which today rekindled my decades-long love affair with the 1992 ninja pic. Oh, who am I kidding? That flame never went out. A few years back I committed my 3 Ninjas love to the internet in an ode to star Michael Treanor, archived at the old Cinematical, but my passion for the erstwhile Rocky endures:

Treanor, 13-years-old when 3 Ninjas debuted, played Rocky with a fresh-scrubbed, clear-eyed honesty and one heckuva smile. It helped that cinematographer Richard Michelak shot his preteen actors in the dreamiest light possible (he also lensed White Wolves: A Cry in the Wild II, AKA White Wolves: The One With Mark-Paul Gosselaar). And that Rocky protected his little brothers and never gave up, even when all seemed lost. When Colt wanted to karate chop the mean kids at school, who was the voice of

Judith Crist, Trailblazing Film Critic, Passes Away At 90 ? Watch Her Look Back On A 50 Year Career

Decades after making a name for herself as reporter and film critic at the New York Herald Tribune, New York Magazine, and the Today show, trailblazing journalist Judith Crist died Tuesday in Manhattan, confirms the New York Times. Crist additionally wrote for TV Guide, Saturday Review, Gourmet and Ladies? Home Journal during her career, which included a longtime stint as professor of journalism at Columbia and a cameo in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories. After the jump, watch an interview with Crist filmed in May, on her 90th birthday, in which the spry critic took a look back at her fruitful career.

Speaking with Columbia J-school deans Sree Sreenivasan and Melanie Huff in May, Crist expressed her delight at making it to the year 2000, let alone 2012, with an infectious energy and wit.

?The most enjoyable part of living a long time is that it happens so quickly," she said. "I have to stop and think, ?My word, it?s a long time.? When I think of all the things that have changed, I don?t look back because I?ve had a wonderful life and so I've got nothing to bitch about."

The critic whom Roger Ebert, Tweeting today, referred to as "a tigress with high standards and great influence," famously eviscerated then-celeb couple Liz Taylor and Richard Burton in her review of 1963's Cleopatra. Scathing and thoughtful in good measure, Crist's gloriously epic 1,700-word review is viewable in full on the Columbia website, and caps with one of her more famous critical nuggets:

A painstaking attention to tiny details makes it all too obvious that nothing has been spared on the sets and costumes. There are indeed some beautiful and impressive photographic effects, with transitions
