Tubbs’s Film Reviews

765 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Winter's Bone (2010): A very apt title and the performances are spot on. Like this review, there is no meat on the bone.; DVD $25
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.
Art of Love, The (2011): For its type it is good. The French can do romantic comedies in their sleep.
Angels in America (TV Mini Series) (2004): The male turmoil is injected with some creative visionary sequences and 3 very good female performances and is all the better for it.
Heroes (TV Series) (2006): S1: It is long. It becomes a series of party pieces after a while.
Holy Spider (2022): Made for the right reasons but there is little depth to the screenplay and it is a bit simplistic at times.; DVD $29.95
