Tubbs’s Film Reviews

763 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Bet, The (2007): The screenplay has little new material. The characters deserve each other and do not resemble a typical Australian – one actually plays polo.
Kinky Boots (2005): The screenplay handles the sweet better than the bitter and although it takes a dip it does recover for the end.
Fifth Estate, The (5ifth Estate, The) (2013): A reasonable addition to the WikiLeaks genre.
Four Musketeers, The (1973): The comedy plot idea is getting a bit stale by this stage but there is enough character in the casting to maintain the interest.
Eight Men Out (1989): The screenplay was solid and the story, interesting. Enjoyed the period details for e.g. the advertising hoardings at the ballpark.
Guru, The (2002): The screenplay gets a bit soppy at times but the soundtrack and musical segments are worthwhile.
Gorky Park (1983): A decent screenplay but William Hurt wasn't convincing. However, there were other performances that helped compensate.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Fly, The (1986): A genuine horror. Terrific work by the makeup and special effects departments.
Stigmata (1999): Arquette, Byrne, and Pryce is a decent cast. Not a memorable screenplay but it did burn up the screen.
Yours, Mine and Ours (1968): Not a bad comedy plot idea and is still watchable 55 years on.
