8089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Spellbound (2003): It gets a bit repetitive but the close–up camera work helps.; Poster (F) $7.95
Flawless (2000): The screenplay is uneven but the lead performances make it worthwhile.
Yesterday (2019): The screenplay is a bit uneven, but there is compensation in the plot idea which is very good. The characters are hard to dislike and the music shows promise and might catch on.
Life During Wartime (2009): It is a comedy style that is difficult to get right – there is little room for error in its delivery and in its timing.
Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001): There is enough in this history to interest non skate board users. The documentary has a "rough" edge to it with plenty of grainy video and home footage but its all good stuff. An interesting social history.
Samurai Pirate (Daitozoku) (1963): Aka "Lost World Of Sinbad". Toshiro Mifune provides an automatic attraction no matter what the material is on offer.
Rudy (1993): There are a number of dramas made around American football and this is as good as most of them.
Cold War (2018): They usually stage these films on cold days and nights to add to the depression. The singing is beautiful though.
White Chicks (2004): The silliness is hard to dislike and to its credit, it doesn't seem to take itself seriously.
Empire Falls (TV Mini-series) (2005): It does well to maintain at least some level of interest over its long viewing time – even the less interesting segments are helped through by someone from the above average cast.
