Tubbs’s Film Reviews

250 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Million Pound Note, The (1953): Excellent satirical writing. A good supporting cast with the wonderful Joyce Grenfell stealing her scenes.
A Star Is Born (1976): It didn't matter to Barbara that another version of the story was unnecessary. She did everything with gusto and she is the main reason for the film's raison d'être.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023): The animation of the city particularly the streets was excellent.
Magnificent Ambersons, The (1942): It never betters the opening scenes but the writing is pretty good throughout and the camera work is always interesting.
How About You? (2008): A smashing female cast plus Joss.
Perfumes (2019): Lightly entertaining, without being silly, and undemanding.; DVD $29.95
Masculin Feminin (1966): It has some good segments and some great 60s location shooting but the main male character just doesn't seem to do anything with his life and is mainly a waste of space.
Once Upon a Scoundrel (1973): It has a decent comedy plot and a comedic actor to pull it off.
Jack and the Beanstalk (2010): It starts fine with the talents of Christopher Lloyd and Wallace Shawn but then this duck comes along with the grating voice.
Le Weekend (2013): Not a particularly interesting screenplay but the two classy leads make it worth a try.
