Tubbs’s Film Reviews

649 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Way We Were, The (1973): It would have been better if the screenplay had developed the political segments and had less romance.
Scanner Darkly, A (2006): Found it hard to tune in to the storytelling but I admired and enjoyed the style of the animation.
Barrio 13 (District B13) (2004): The stunt work was good but the never ending violence just became meaningless.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018): Probably not perfect but very entertaining. The recreation of Live Aid and the stand–ins for the band members were impressive.
Winter's Bone (2010): A very apt title and the performances are spot on. Like this review, there is no meat on the bone.
Counterpart (TV Series) (2017): A very well written screenplay and it is good to see quality casting from both sides of the Atlantic working together. Olivia Williams, Stephen Rea and, a double dose of J.K. Simmons stand out.
Red, White and Brass (2023): Hard to dislike.; DVD $29.95
Scrapper (2023): Not great but there is a freshness to the material and it doesn't get soppy.; DVD $29.95
Red House, The (1947): The screenplay builds slowly to a fine climax. Edward G is at the centre of things and his fine performance is aided by excellent use of light and shadow.
September (2007): It doesn't make too much of an impression.
