Tubbs’s Film Reviews

8089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Bullet Train (2022): There is a familiarity to it from start to go – a casual approach to violence and death with comedy thrown in. The early James Bonds did it well and with a touch of class.
Sapphire (1959): An interesting slice of time screenplay with a very solid selection of character actors.
Elvis (2022): The Parker character got a bit lost in the two and a half hours which was some relief. The soundtrack was pretty good, especially in the early blues influenced days.
Fall (2022): Idiots.
Lancaster (2022): It is good the have these eyewitness accounts in the archive.; DVD $29.95
Little Nellie Kelly (1940): There are a couple of very good songs sung by one of the best around at the time. The screenplay has a fantasy element and the odd comedy scene – overall it is okay but not great.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941): It has Lombard but little else.
Notte, La (The Night) (1961): The empty characters become tiresome after a while but the outdoor locations are wonderfully shot – everything from traffic jams to derelict sections and buildings.
Colour of Pomegranates (Color of Pomegranates) (1969): Art House.
Crash (1996): I remember the film's impact on release. A different kind of screenplay with the right cast to do the job. Great work by a busy makeup team left many a scar.
