Rainbow Brite (2014)
Generic and formulaic
I gave it a 5 because I think a show or movie starts at five. From there it either goes up or down.
On the down side this is the cheap Flash animation style that Teen Titans Go uses. Rainbow has no sense of self preservation. Sh sounds like a 45 executive trying to be an 8 year old by spouting every buzz word in the book. There is never really a time to reflect on what you just watched. This is fast fluff.
On the positive the animation is decent. The colors and character models are very reminiscent to the originals. To me though, the limbs look and movements more stretched out like an early teen.
If you want a poor man's version of My Little Pony this is for you. Nothing really offensive but now real substance. BTW: Rainbow Brite is the equivalent of Pinky Pie in the current MLP.
Her Secret Life (1987)
Decent spy flick
I admit I liked this guilty pleasure. The plot is a little hard to follow because it jumps back and forth in time and everyone looks the same in all times. All the sets looked like they we're shoot in the 'burbs of Miami, not in Cuba. Also everyone was supposed to be Cuban; Kate Capshaw was about as white as they come in this film.
Putting those fopas aside, the story is a fairly complex affair that spans 8+ years. It involved a spy who got out of 'The Company' many years before. Now Dancer, a fellow spy, has collected on a favor of saving the leads' life some years in the past.
Decent camera work, mildly compelling story, good acting, and good sound led to an enjoyable Monday night flick. Just don't expect this to be the next James Bond. After all, I did get the film as a double feature in a $1 bargain bin.
BTW: I did learn a couple of things in this film: Cubans can hotwire anything (a quote from the movie) and Russian spy's are very slow and can't aim worth a darn.
