Tubbs’s Film Reviews

8089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Young Savages, The (1961): The screenplay is serviceable but it does have some memorable New York street scenes, particularly at the opening of the film.
Secret Ceremony (1968): Not in the top bracket of the Director's canon, but it does have an interesting screenplay and a hard to ignore cast.
Crusades, The (1935): To watch it was a crusade.
Simple Life Of Noah Dearborn, The (1999): Written to be soppy but the cast keeps the soppiness to a bearable level.
Munster, Go Home (1966): The challenge is to take a black and white TV show away from Mockingbird Lane change it to a coloured feature and locate it in England. It is not successful but it does have some worthwhile segments.
Intersection (1993): There is no surprise as to which direction this screenplay takes.
Faust (1926): A strong story is well told with the special effects very commendable as is the performance of Emil Jannings who with a bit of help from his character stole his scenes.
Side Effects (2013): It was okay but Law and or his character just got annoying.
Mud (2012): It is long and too long for me for a screenplay driven by two boy characters but the shooting locations help to add interest. Matthew hard to spell McC is okay in this one.
Much Ado About Nothing (1993): I'm not qualified to comment on the adaptation but it is beautifully shot and the casting mix is interesting with Emma Thompson the standout.
