Tubbs’s Film Reviews

FlashdanceFlashdance (1983)
3 stars (Good Enough) The dance segments, scattered throughout the film, are excellent but you need to survive the padding which includes the compulsory romantic subplot.
Lucky YouLucky You (2007)
3 stars (Good Enough) The writer is in turmoil as whether to concentrate on the relationship between Drew & Eric or the poker. Drew is given the heave–ho & the poker players take the stage. The choreography of their faces & hands is excellent & it is great publicity for poker.
Silence de la Mer, LeSilence de la Mer, Le (The Silence of the Sea) (1947)
4 stars (Very Good) Depicting an enemy as a decent & cultured person is a good start. There are some interesting shots of 1940's Paris & these relieve what could have been a claustrophobic setting within the living room of the house where most of the "action" takes place.
Last Tycoon, TheLast Tycoon, The (1976)
2 stars (Good Try) The basic plot about movie making was fine, and so was the attention to the period's detail, but the fine cast that was assembled had to sit around for longer than necessary whilst the screenplay got seriously sidetracked by the romantic interest.
Older Than IrelandOlder Than Ireland (2015)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) It is an appetiser – hopefully, their more in–depth, edited out interviews have been archived somewhere.
DVD $29.95 $15, $29.95
Bloodsucking FreaksBloodsucking Freaks (1978)
3 stars (Good Enough) It is so far over the top that the violence is "entertaining" rather than objectionable.
Cheech and Chong's Nice DreamsCheech and Chong's Nice Dreams (1982)
2 stars (Good Try) Cheech & Chong have done better but it is not bad in parts.
Southland TalesSouthland Tales (2006)
2 stars (Good Try) A couple of bizarre casting decisions aside the screenplay was hard to follow – whether this was due to its re–editing and shortening is anybody's guess.
DVD $24.95 | Blu-Ray $29.95
heART of the matter, TheheART of the matter, The (2016)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Excellent story telling through use of archival footage and interviews. Gordon Tovey deserves this quality documentary.
DVD $24.95 $18.70
Shout at the DevilShout at the Devil (1976)
2 stars (Good Try) Lee Marvin = entertainment and Ian Holm is great in support but it is racist at times and there is some well filmed blood sport depiction.
