Tubbs’s Film Reviews

765 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

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.
Butterflies Are Free (1972): The screenplay maintains its stage origins and is heavy on dialogue in a limited space.
Made In Romania (2010): The casting was an interesting mix and helped to bolster interest in the uneven screenplay.
21 Hours at Munich (1976): A reasonable re–enactment with Holden and Nero included no doubt to add lustre to the proceedings.
Oliver Twist (1948): Robert Newton and Alec Guinness head an excellent cast of supporting performers. The set designs are superb.
