Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1103 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Fifty Shades Freed (2017): We are finally freed.
Kiss Me Kate (1953): The dance numbers throughout are excellent and not just by the quality operators Ann Miller and Tommy Rall. The Cole Porter songs are the icing on the Kate.
Comfort of Strangers, The (1991): More dialogue than action but it is Pinter's. Walken's smile can be chilling.
Spread (2009): I think it might have been made during one of the writer's strikes.
Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris (2022): Well made and works thanks to Lesley Manville. The great Isabelle Huppert is wasted.
Speedway Junky (1999): An uneven screenplay but it does have some good segments even if they are not particularly original. It climaxes but then drags out for another few scenes which doesn't help. The performances are okay but some of the strutting young males are annoying.
Cocaine Bear (2023): Although the screenplay weakens a little, overall it is a comedy horror that works. The bear activity is cleverly done.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody) (2022): It follows formula for this kind of thing.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948): Nothing spectacular but a very solid screenplay, performances, and believable characters.
Real Women Have Curves (2003): Some good social commentary interspersed with daughter vs. mum (Lupe Ontiveros is terrific) all done for the most part without bitterness.
