Tubbs’s Film Reviews
765 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948)
Nothing spectacular but a very solid screenplay, performances, and believable characters.
Real Women Have Curves (2003)
Some good social commentary interspersed with daughter vs. mum (Lupe Ontiveros is terrific) all done for the most part without bitterness.
Captain, The (Der Hauptmann) (2017)
Fiction or non–fiction, it is a very good piece of satirical writing.
Faintheart (2008)
Interesting characters and ones that have been correctly cast. Nothing wrong with the screenplay and script either. And it is British.
Babylon (2022)
Although it is too long its production values and a driving soundtrack help to maintain some interest. Some excellent ensemble dance numbers are the highlight. Margot Robbie tries really hard and cannot be faulted for lack of effort.
Play Misty for Me (1971)
Although the screenplay runs out of steam, for the most part, the plot idea is believable and there are some very good 70s scenes.
Yves Saint Laurent (2014)
The production was well mounted as were most of the characters.
High Society (1956)
Not a great screenplay and the musical side would have been better if they had have left the singing to Bing.
Muru (2022)
It was okay as an actioner, well photographed, and it had a pretty good soundtrack.
Somewhere (2010)
The boredom aspect, particularly pre–Ellie, was handled very well. I also got the impression that the Director/Writer was making a comment on how we pamper film stars. even scruffy ones.
