Tubbs’s Film Reviews

765 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Scum (1980): The screenplay has one or two points to make, which it does well, thanks in no small way to no nonsense writing and performances.
Surfwise (2007): Family reminiscences some of which are interesting.
Quiet, The (2005): It could have been so much better with a scriptwriter.
Laverne & Shirley (TV Series) (1976): S1: the comedy is not great but the pair work well together and the settings are working class.; DVD $24.95, $24.95, $24.95, $24.95
From Beyond (1986): Great work by the special effects/makeup people. Enjoyable.
Striking Distance (1993): The river locations provide some relief from the routine and the casting of Dennis Farina helps.
Bells of St. Mary's (1944): These bells still ring loud for some but they have only a little a peal for others.
Nine Days (2020): Not everything was fathomable on a first viewing but the material was fresh and therefore commendable.
Toni Erdmann (2016): If there was ever a screenplay crying out for a shorter running time this was it. A good plot idea but one that lost freshness and its effectiveness the longer it went on.
Whale, The (2022): There is little movement as the whale is beached.
