Tubbs’s Film Reviews

649 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Novocaine (2001): The screenplay is uneven but the plot idea is not too bad. Helena Bonham Carter and Laura Dern take the limelight by some margin.
Down To Earth (1947): The screenplay is of minor interest but there is some real talent in the supporting cast for eg. the great Edward Everett Horton.
Short Circuit (1986): It has lasted 40 years and it should stay around quite a bit longer.
Doctor Zhivago (TV Series) (2003): Considering its length it doesn't drag to any great extent. The period setting is handled very well and there is good use of library film.
Nightmare On Elm Street, A (1984): Probably influential for other horror filmmakers.
Road To Bali (1952): Good clean fun.
Americans, The (TV Series) (2013): If the characters spent less time in the bedroom it might have been a couple of hours shorter but otherwise, it was well written. There is a good performance from Noah Emmerich.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $20
Jericho (TV Series) (2006): S1: A good plot idea but by the time I got to the last episode I'd forgotten what it was.
Journey to the End of the Night (2006): The screenplay wasn't convincing. Fraser shows his limitations and is embarrassing but Glenn, as usual, is worth a watch.rn
Courier, The (Ironbark) (2020): Perhaps a not so well remembered espionage episode. Fine performances add to the interest.
