Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1056 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Trapeze (1956): Although too much footage is spent on the love triangle, the circus itself is believable, and the action is very well edited and performed.
Viceroy's House (2017): It digresses from the history at times, and although the screenplay is well intentioned, the story would have been told better by a documentarian. The production values however are very commendable.
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.
