Tubbs’s Film Reviews

765 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Murphy Brown (TV Series) (1988-1998): S1: Although the laughter track works overtime the screenplay is not all that funny but the characters are likeable and it avoids soppiness.
It Should Happen to You (1954): The material is very light but Judy makes it watchable plus there is some 50s New York location shooting to add interest.
DL Chronicles, The (TV Series) (2005): The flow of the screenplay is disrupted every few minutes because of the character's need to touch lips but the series could have some cult value.
Last Action Hero (1993): It entertainingly breaks the action movie mould but beware of the kid's voice.
3:10 to Yuma (1957): With a low body count, not your traditional Western. Well written and performed. The stress on the local townsfolk when confronted by the bad guys was very convincing.
Take Me Out To The Ball Game (Everybody's Cheering) (1949): Musically not very strong but there is Kelly's dancing to admire. The screenplay is padding.
Strait-Jacket (1964): The screenplay had a sharp edge.
T2 Trainspotting (2017): An uneven screenplay but Ewen Bremner's feel for comedy makes it worthwhile as does the soundtrack.
Happy Valley (TV Series) (2014-2023): S1: The characters are believable and there is no room for flower pots. Sarah Lancashire is impressive.; DVD $24.95, $34.95, $79.95
Frankie (TV Series) (2013): It is as good as a lot of other similar TV series. There is the odd comedic moment which helps.
