Tubbs’s Film Reviews

Rat Pack, The (1998): The production values are fine.; DVD $19.95
Informer, The (2019): There is nothing to distinguish it from many others of the same ilk.
Hellboy (2004): Good work by the special effects and in particular the makeup departments but what makes this more watchable than a lot of comic adaptations is Ron Perlman's attitude to his character.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Visitors (2003): A good idea but the suspense didn't rise to any great height.
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2005): Bouncy and good natured.
Celebration: Yves Saint Laurent (2007): They've dug up yet another fashion worker to document. This precious one describes his life's work as self–sacrifice for which I guess we should be grateful.
Evita (1996): Musically not every segment works and it close to being described as a one tuner. However, the set design and wardrobe people do a great job and help to soothe the passage of the lengthy running time.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
If These Walls Could Talk (1996): It is not an easy watch because understandably the characters get emotional. The screenplay tackles an important issue and everyone involved should be commended.
Private Benjamin (1980): The first half is pretty good but then the screenplay changes tack when the love interest appears and the comedy suffers. Eileen Brennan is a real plus throughout.
Summer 1993 (2017): The two kids are terrific and the screenplay so believable with an excellent low key ending.
