Tubbs’s Film Reviews

478 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner) (2001): The length of the screenplay requires patience, but if slow, is never boring, and there is the location to admire plus an interesting soundtrack.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $15
Ladyhawke (1985): Forty years on it is not ageing too well, particularly for its lengthy running time.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Village, The (2004): A slow burner but not that suspenseful when all is said and done. There is a fine cast but not all of them are fully employed.
Up in Smoke (1978): Probably can't say it was like a breath of fresh air but it was enjoyable all the same.
Ballet Shoes (2007): Made for TV but it is BBC and is a good quality production. A strong story is handled well by a well chosen cast.
In a Valley of Violence (2016): It does break the Western mould now and again but overall it is business as usual. The best performances are from Ethan Hawke and Taissa Farmiga.
To Wong Foo...Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1996): The single joke scenario is difficult to maintain for any length of time.
Willow (1988): The creatures were fine and there was plenty of killing which should keep the kids happy.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Dominick and Eugene (1988): Bittersweet without too much cloyingness. The casting helped.
Devil Dared Me To, The (2007): An action packed 75 minutes got better as it went along or more likely I got up to speed.
