What were your three absolutely most FAVORITE MOVIES that came out between 1990's and 2012? Here's mine:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (THE. FIRST. ONE. NOT SECRETS OF THE OOZE or TURTLES IN TIME [shudder]. Okay, brief history lesson for you youngins. The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out in 1990 [when I was still but a wee lass] and though it was a MASTERWORK that was NEARLY COMPLETELY FAITHFUL to the comics as well as the cartoon American/European parents were SHOCKED apparently that something so dark could be shown to kids worldwide. So like typical American bullshit the studio got a METRIC SHITLOAD of COMPLAINTS from parents and though NEARLY EVERY KID LOVED THE MOVIE the upset parents caused the next two movies afterwards to COMPLETELY SUCK BALLS! The first one remains the one and ONLY TMNT movie I love and accept, it's dark, gritty, and fun and the turtles are awesome! Shredder kicks ass, the Foot is REALISTIC, and Casey Jones KICKS EVEN MORE ASS. I only had one COMPLAINT and that's how they did April O'Neil. Still, the movie rocked! It had funny lines [like when Michelangelo and Donatello were watching the Loony Toons skit of "the Tortoise and the Hare" and Michelangelo yells, "NINJA KICK THE DAMN RABBIT!], awesome action sequences [Raphael eating an apple while kicking the Foot's ass was pretty cool], and great dialogue and scenery! They even got Splinter's love for his "sons" and the Turtles love for their "father" PERFECTLY! The music was great, the acting was great, the action was great, and they didn't need ANY DAMN SPECIAL EFFECTS other than claymation! PERFECT SCORE PEOPLE!)
Jurassic Park (This movie WILL REMAIN Spielberg's MASTERPIECE throughout THE REST OF KNOWN HUMAN HISTORY! It was great! The actors knew their parts and did them VERY VERY WELL [especially Jeff Goldblum], the dinosaurs were VERY REALISTIC AND VERY SCARY [the T-Rex was especially INTIMIDATING] and the story and plot were very believable! Hammond's actor pulled off the conservative billionaire desperately clinging to his own ideals as the world shoves them back in his face very well. The kids were a bit annoying however but they were at the very least good action actors [or at least their stunt doubles were]. Very good stuff all around.)
I. Robot. (I gotta say, Will Smith pulled off with the old fashioned cop fighting to stay relevant in a world spiraling past his own understanding and acceptance with grace. The dynamic between Smith and the lady who played Dr. Calvin was incredible with Smith trying to bring some old fashioned horse sense into a woman who had next to no knowledge of what life was like before Robots [and ironically trusted them completely]. The ending still sends a shiver down my spine. It may not have been faithful at all to the book but it pulls off a great movie with good effects, good acting, and a good plot. Fun times all around kiddies!)
