Tubbs’s Film Reviews

8089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Belko Experiment, The (2016): The cries of anguish and the hysterics made it hard viewing.
I Smile Back (2015): Solid and nothing flashy in both screenplay and performances.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017): Continues the successful formula. Good special effects and the make–up team do a good job. The action seems continuous.
Only Angels Have Wings (1939): Its okay except its a bit long and dated 80 years on.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Apollo 13 (1995): It goes on forever – because the outcome is well known there is no suspense. The special effects are the only highlight as the script is crappy at times and the soundtrack makes you cringe.
Net, The (1995): The screenplay lacks freshness.
Rachel Getting Married (2008): A talkie but it has a good female cast.
Toys (1993): It is hard to dislike even if at times it plays like a misfire. In its favour is that it is original and should, therefore, stand up to repeated viewings. Visually attractive but it could have been a tad shorter.
Posse (1993): It looks like its made a special effort to be violent. Less would have had more effect.
Graduate, The (1967): Hoffman's character soon begins to irritate but there is Anne Bancroft in classy form to compensate. There is one memorable line in the script from a character who works in plastics – "there is a great future in plastics". One of the better soundtracks; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
