Tubbs’s Film Reviews

998 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

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.
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.
