Tubbs’s Film Reviews

970 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Hairspray (1988): The musical side is very good, and the padding is nearly as good thanks to some larger than life characters and a point making script.
Story Of Adele H.,The (1975): A great lead performance makes it worthwhile and well done to Isabelle's make–up people, who assist with her character changes.
Sleuth (2007): Not as good as, and therefore an unnecessary remake of the earlier screenplay.
Pact of Silence, The (Le Pacte du Silence) (2002): The screenplay weakens out and is not helped by the lead characters either stopping to pray or faint much of the time.
Rainbow, The (1989): The production details for the period are superb. Young Sammi does a good job leading a fine cast, which includes a domineering Jim Carter and a strangely subdued, and therefore wasted Glenda Jackson.
One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1942): The early cockpit scenes are well enacted, but what follows is dated and not believable.
To Die in San Hilario (2005): It doesn't take itself seriously and is all the better for it.
Motorway (2012): No surprises in what passes for a screenplay. It has the usual good stunt driving and camera work.
Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam (1995)
Ted Bundy (2002)
