Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1164 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

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.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Edward II (1991): As expected, a little different. Although not all segments appealed, the creativity, and originality, deserve to be recognised. Tilda Swinton is a compulsory casting in this kind of thing.
Norma Rae (1979): The scenes in the textile mill were well produced and the industrial relations situation believable enough to warrant Sally sticking it up 'em.
Brute Force (1947): I thought the climax strained belief a bit but for the rest it was well made with Hume Cronyn convincing.
You Only Live Once (1937): Always hard to see this combination of director and casting failing and it doesn't.; Blu-Ray $39.95
