Tubbs’s Film Reviews

710 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Frida (2002): The screenplay doesn't take off which is surprising considering the title character but the production values and the casting are good.
Purge, The: Anarchy (Purge 2) (2014): More of the same.
Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel) (2009): Audrey is fine and the production values are very good.
Barbarella (1968): The set designs are terrific and the whole production is out of this world.
House by the River (1950): Competently made and very atmospheric.
Pump Up the Volume (1990): Slater is very good and there is a freshness to the material.
Upstairs, Downstairs (TV Series) (2010): Excellent production values and performances with Eileen Atkins the standout.
Troll (1985): Not the most sophisticated of creatures but they are entertaining as was the young daughter.
Birdman of Alcatraz (1961): A strong and always interesting screenplay is complemented by a spot on casting.
Dead Poet's Society (1989): 35 years on it hasn't dated too well. Also, the ending is melodramatic and silly.
