Tubbs’s Film Reviews

998 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Cinema Paradiso (1990): The second half loses much of the energy and charm of the first but overall it is well worth a watch.
Tais Toi! (Ruby and Quentin) (2003): The first hour is particularly strong before the screenplay weakens. Depardieu shows a flair for comedy but the casting department does a fine job all around.
City of God (Cidade de Deus) (2002): A very good first half raced along but then it ran out of ideas and it repeated itself.
Two or Three Things I Know About Her (1965): Different but not memorable.
Taxi Driver (1976): Some great 70s street scenes particularly the early one showing the rubbish and the seedy building interiors were well selected. The stickup scene was handled refreshingly differently to the norm.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Ludwig (1972): This synopsis of an interesting character could well encourage further reading. Excellent production values.
Bellissima (1951): For much of the screenplay, it is full on and you need to take respite in the odd quiet moment.
My Old School (2022): The screenplay was only mildly interesting but the animation helped.
Duke, The (2020): A great story but you still needed to get the casting right.
Decision To Leave (2022): Okay overall but it really slows done when the romance develops and even gets totally bogged down at times. Disappointing after a good start.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
