Tubbs’s Film Reviews

Lost Boys, The (1987): The first half, with the bridge scene the highlight, is better than the second but the latter does showpiece the terrific work of the makeup department.
Mary Poppins (1964): The musical numbers are excellent – the choreography / the set designs – and I enjoy them more with each viewing.
Spellbound (1945): Whilst the screenplay is far from convincing you overlook its weaknesses in the cause of entertainment and root for Ingrid trying to hold things together plot holes and all.; DVD $20
Hair High (2004): More talented mayhem from Bill Plympton aided by a bouncy soundtrack.
Born to Fight (Kerd ma lui) (2004): For action fans full stop although the stunt work is hard to resist (watching that is).
Artist, The (2011): A very good and refreshing idea that is delivered with excellent production values.
Far from Men (2014): The screenplay is okay but it lags somewhat behind the shooting locations as the main attraction.; DVD $29.95
Rick (2003): A bit hard to follow on a first viewing.
Conversations with Mother (Conversaciones con mamá) (2004): This kind of screenplay is so easy to stuff up. This one doesn't become sugary but is delightfully written and performed.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005): The lead Christensen is not much chop but thankfully it is not an actors film and the special effects, the design work, and the creature people make it all worthwhile.
