Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1002 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Levelling, The (2016): Ellie Kendrick and her Dad (David Troughton) are excellent and what is more, believable. A screenplay with a no frills political message.
Western Union (1941): It has a good plot, casting, and director but it doesn't really amount to much.; DVD $29.95
Warm Springs (2005): It is not a warm and fuzzy drama about FDR – he couldn't have been easy to live with – and it is all the better for it. The production values are first class and the casting of leads and supports are well done and interesting.
Teknolust (2002): It contains more than one good performance from Tilda with Karen Black the icing on the cake. The screenplay is intelligent and refreshingly different. The wardrobe/hair and the design people deserve special mention as well.
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (TV Series) (2011): The screenplay is divided into 6 interchangeable episodes.
Maps to the Stars (2014): Mia more than holds her own against in form Julianne and Olivia – the three of them are excellent. An interesting screenplay that doesn't follow the norm.
New Jack City (1991): It opens with a great aerial shot of the city but it is downhill after that. Neither the characters nor the screenplay offer enough originality to maintain one's interest.
Paranormal Activity 2 (2010): More of the same.
Love Me Tonight (1932): It opens with a great aerial shot over the chimney pots. Jeanette MacDonald's lovely voice carries the musical side and certainly does justice to some memorable numbers. A good supporting cast helps with the padding in between.
Sing 2 (2020): Animation is able to create at will such a wide variety of creatures.
