Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1054 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Obsession (The Hidden Room) (1949): The great Robert Newton, with splendid support from Nauton Wayne, does good service to a well written screenplay.
Georgy Girl (1966): Lynn Redgrave is the ideal casting for the title role. The screenplay, whilst not great, doesn't follow any well trodden path and is still interesting 60 years on as a time capsule. Its memorable title song helps.
Shield of Straw (2013): Indistinguishable from the others in the genre.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
First of the Summer Wine (TV Series) (1988): The period details are well done, and the comedy script and characters work without any detriment to the principal series.
Weekend at Bernies (1989): A very good comedy plot idea.; DVD $14.95 | Blu-Ray $24.95
Everyone Says I Love You (1996): The musical segments are ordinary. The Director/Writer again is in a romantic role.
Remember Me (Ricordati di Me) (2003): Plenty of excitable characters yelling and screaming. Laura Morante heads the melodrama.
Initial D (Tau Man Jid) (2005): Exciting.
Luther (2003): There is not an overabundance of praying and that kind of stuff, and his story is reasonably told. Molina and Ustinov head a fine supporting cast.
Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants) (2003): Only a romance, but Marion C makes it worthwhile.
