Tubbs’s Film Reviews

763 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Sleepover (2004): A bit soppy toward the end but harmless otherwise.
Tár (Tar) (2022): The musical segments were interesting and informative.
Uproar (2023): It is a light comedy that mixes some historical elements. There are some good location shots of Dunedin.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
Angel-A (2005): Unfortunately, the screenplay falls away after a little bit over an hour but the scenes, where we have the bridge to ourselves, are memorable. The B&W is excellent and the relationship of the odd couple makes it worthwhile.
Igby Goes Down (2002): There are plenty of reasons not to like a number of the characters but the writing, the casting, and the performances see it through.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Adoration (2008): A well written screenplay but one that is not an easy one to follow. A second viewing for me will be of benefit.
Salute (2008): Excellent athletics coverage, and if a bit light on the racism in Australia, it has worthwhile coverage of the civil rights situation in 60s USA.
Woody Guthrie - This Machine Kills Fascists (2005): This documentary would have claims to be the definitive account of Guthrie's life.
Train, The (1964): The early scenes in the railyards are outstanding. Although it doesn't get as good again there are still some excellent action segments to follow. In beautiful black and white.
Nobel Son (2007): Heaven knows why they needed the talented Alan Rickman for this.
