Tubbs’s Film Reviews

987 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Aftersun (2022): You wait for the screenplay to take off, and it doesn't, and it is all the better for it.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
Little Man (2006): There were a couple of items we could have done without, otherwise, it was hard to dislike.
Requiem for a Dream (2000): Top performances from Burstyn and Connelly (another unattractive role), effective editing, a terrific soundtrack should get the anti drug message through.
Confidential Report (Mr. Arkadin) (1955): Second or third time I've seen this, and the screenplay still doesn't hold the attention, even though the synopsis holds promise.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967): Musically not strong, but there is some good choreography, and it is entertaining overall.
Saddest Music in the World, The (2003): Not your normal musical fare. It should stand up to repeat viewings.
Idiot Box (1997): Australia has an endless supply of great character actors as well as good dramatic performers.
President Versus David Hicks, The (2004): A story with more than one strand to it. Well worth a watch.
One That Got Away, The (Einer Kam Durch) (1957): An interesting wartime story, where a level of decency still prevailed between combatants.
Max Manus: Man of War (2008): The first half of the screenplay is more interesting than the second, but the production values throughout are excellent.
