Tubbs’s Film Reviews

Patriot Games (1992): Competent enough with the casting of Sean Bean being a big plus.
On Golden Pond (1981): Probably the experience of the leads avoids it getting too cringeworthy. If anything it is worth watching out of respect for Henry Fonda's distinguished career.
Hustlers (2019): You can see what the screenplay was trying to achieve but it fails to last the distance.
Jean Paul Gaultier: Freak and Chic (2019): He looks to be more interesting than most of the large number of fashion designers that have been documented on film in recent times.; DVD $29.95
I Need That Record! (The Death (or Possible Survival) of the Independent Record Store) (2010): It has a similar theme to that used for the death of the video store – excellent interviews of the little players (those who know their product) and a historical perspective of the industry that brought about the situation we are in today.
Kitchen, The (2019): It has a respectable number of killings but it doesn't really get steamed up at any stage.
Divine Order, The (2018): The dramatisation is well meaning but it soon becomes a bit obvious.
Truly, Madly, Deeply (1990): If Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman were the love pairing in all romantic films I would become a fan of the genre. Her emotions are genuine and understandable playing against an exasperating Rickman. Great writing from Director Minghella.
Kundun (1998): I don't think the screenplay can be relied upon for all its historical aspects but the production is of a high quality.
Slack Bay (Ma Loute) (2016): Fabrice Luchini has a way of moving that I haven't seen on screen before & with his character's sister played by Juliette Binoche forms a bizarre twosome. In fact, the only characters in this excellent black comedy that are normal end up on the menu.; DVD $24.95
