Tubbs’s Film Reviews

649 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Love Witch, The (2016): An interesting try but it just gets bogged down after a while – maybe the re–enactments, which were okay in themselves, affected the flow. A good soundtrack and work by the makeup department helped.
Dead Snow (Død Snø) (2009): Plenty of blood and black currant jam.; DVD $29.95
Hellzapoppin' (1941): The screenplay is loosely structured and contains comedy and musical numbers of uneven quality but the whole is worth a look.
My Family (TV Series) (2000-2006): The good standard of the script is consistent across all 8 episodes.
Coming Home in the Dark (2021): Not too bad for its type, has some decent suspense at times, and could be worth a try.
Goal! (2005): For the most part, it is good – the re–enactments are well handled and there is an interesting support cast – but the melodrama takes over. A more condensed screenplay would have left less room for the fairy stuff.
Secret, The (Si j'étais toi) (2007): It does try to be a little different, but at the end of the day, not a great screenplay.
Julia (1977): A well produced screenplay that goes up a notch when the vivacious Vanessa is on camera.
Sami Blood (2016): Whilst the screenplay wasn't always that convincing its political message was loud and clear. A good performance from the young lead and the shooting locations helped.; DVD $29.95
Silent Partner, The (1978): It is a pretty good story and the casting of Plummer, Gould, and York is hard to ignore.
