Tubbs’s Film Reviews

8089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Death of a Gunfighter (1969): The early scenes are fine but the story then weakens out before picking up again just before the end but then has a melodramatic ending.
Die Another Day (2002): Follows the successful formula but delays bringing proceedings to a close until the obligatory two hour running time has passed. The scene with Q the highlight.
Jonah Hex (2010): It doesn't quite work but Michael Fassbender's performance makes it worthwhile.
Chloe (2009)
Far Country, The (1954): Some good location shooting. Although Brennan's voice grates after a few seconds its compensated by the good casting of Robert J. Wilke (my favourite bad guy) and Jack Elam.
Other Guys, The (2010): Its a bit too silly to be funny. Samuel L Jackson hardly appears – wasted.
Murder By Numbers (2002): Promising start but then distracted by Sandra B's character problems – it then doesn't do justice to that story line nor the main murder "mystery".
Goosebumps (2015): The humans are flat but the film is saved by some excellent special effect creatures.
Crank (2006): Reminded me of "Run, Lola, Run" (1998) for a few frames but then the flashy camera and editing plus the whooshing sound effects drags things back to the ordinary and get tiresome.
Broken Arrow (1950): Good photography and a well intentioned screenplay that gets badly sidetracked with a silly romantic sub plot. Stewart is a goody goody as usual.
