Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Fortune Cookie, The (1966): Well written, and although a bit too long for the material, Matthau is in fine form.
Not As A Stranger (1955): A mix of medical and romantic drama, with the former thankfully good enough to see the screenplay through. The useful cast helped.
Mala Noche (1985): At its most interesting when the camera is on the worn streets with the worn populace.
Good Times (1967): It has more curiosity value than anything else.
Dolly Sisters, The (1945): The song and dance and wardrobe make it worthwhile.
The Teachers' Lounge (Des Lehrerzimmer) (2022): It starts off strongly, but there is a progressive loss of control over the screenplay as it climaxes.; DVD $29.95
Wilby Conspiracy, The (1975): I didn't think the writing was particularly strong.
Dark Days (2000): A little bit different.
Paris Is Burning (1990): The characters seem a happy bunch and without bitterness. The documentary covers quite a range of interests, with the highlight being some eye catching dancing.
Sling Blade (1997): Struggled a bit watching it a second time nearly 30 yrs on.
