Tubbs’s Film Reviews

Black Sea (2014): It loses a bit of suspense when the suspense is pre–ordained in the form of going under the sea & in a submarine. All submarine films are "suspenseful" & little should shock. The characters got annoying bickering and shouting at each other.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1989): It just gets silly and well below Michael Caine's normal material. Glenne Headly however puts in a good performance.
Twin Peaks (1990): Quite a strange film – even reading about the films background fails to explain the made for video ending. Still that's David Lynch – may he long continue to baffle.
Watcher, The (2000): Standard plot but the story telling is not helped by flashy camera work and annoying sound effects – you know those ones that are used to make it more exciting.
Hollow Man (2000): The special effects are extremely well done but the story which starts out well gets unnecessarily sleazy in parts & detracts from the Sci–fi.
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (1999): A very good story which lends itself very well to animation. Highlight for me was the animated street scenes.
Deathgasm (2015): Has done its best to have some original ideas in the proceedings – not an easy task when the genre is flooded – hasn't really succeeded in this but is watchable.
Man, The (2005): I haven't seen much of Eugene Levy but he has a screen presence – he and Jackson work well together in this one but deserve better material.
Left Behind (2014): The plot idea wasn't too bad (in part) but the highlight has to be the irony of casting Cage as a cool and calm character when everyone around him are collapsing in hysterical horror.A casting director with a sense of humour.
Talented Mr. Ripley, The (1999): Thought the screenplay was a bit ordinary and as it goes on for ever it lacks suspense. Part of the deception relied on Damon and Law looking alike which they don't.
