Tubbs’s Film Reviews

765 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Monsieur Lazhar (2011): Solidly written with the melodrama kept to a minimum.
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The (2009): It runs out of steam eventually and is too long but the two leads anchor things pretty well overall.
Drumline (2002): The choreography was fine and made it worthwhile.
Paris, 13th District (Les Olympiades, Paris 13e) (2021): Uninteresting characters that have nothing useful to do.; DVD $29.95
Peterloo (2018): From kitchen sink to historical dramas the Director has great attention to detail.
Road Trip (2000): It has the odd bits of genuine humour but it is down the backroads for the most part.
Just My Luck (2006): The two leads are harmless as is the material.
In the Name of the Father (1993): The screenplay admiringly does not get bogged down which is some achievement considering the legal system is heavily involved. A smashing cast and soundtrack.
Cat and the Canary, The (1939): Not a strong comedy nor a strong horror but a decent mix of both.
Under the Volcano (1984): One terrific performance.
