Tubbs’s Film Reviews

Beaches (1988): A ball of noisy energy.
Last Metro, The (1980): The story within the story extends the running time somewhat but the writing, casting, and the production values help you through.
Mystic River (2003): Clint seems most comfortable with projects that run over two hours. Here is another one. A reasonable story and the best bits are when Bacon and Fishburne are working off each other.
It's Only Money (1962): A solid comedy thanks mainly to a good cast with Jack Weston scene stealing.
Crows O (Kurôzu zero) (2007): Try viewing it as a comedy and imagine that the director is taking the mickey out of the hysterics and posturing of the kids. Too long though as the action sequences have a similarity to them.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978): A classic sci–fi tale competently brought to the screen.
Butterfly Lovers (2008): Too many slow motion camera shots and females getting hit across the chops by hysterical males. The traditional music is nice though.
What Price Glory? (1952): A funny animal in some ways. The soldiers behave like cowboys and the screenplay is a mixture of war, comedy, and music. Entertaining enough, however.
Good Morning, Vietnam (1987): A good plot idea with a very good soundtrack. The first half of the screenplay is the best.
Persuasion (2007): Sally saves script writers time with her facial expressions. Very well produced without going overboard.
