Tubbs’s Film Reviews

8089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Allied (2016): The set designs and wardrobe are good but the screenplay doesn't amount to much. I'm not sure why someone of the quality of Marion Cotillard is required for a walk in the park like this.
Flowers of War, The (2011): Some good segments particularly early in the film when the two female groups clash but overall its uneven and too long. The Rape of Nanking is too important an event to be dramatised.
Oddball (Oddball and the Penguins) (2015): There is a lot to like about this family adventure with a message.
Pollock (2000): DVD ~~$25~~ $18.75
Dragonheart (1996): The best scenes involve nutter Thewlis although there is some good comedy acting from Postlethwaite and Connery. There is just too much unnecessary violence which is a shame because there are some very good segments.
Casualties of War (1989): The squad is in enemy territory but they are yelling at each other and having committee meetings – it is just not believable as a war drama. The war crime is handled better and is rightfully distasteful.
Moana (2016): The characters are delightful with a good story to boot.
Dish, The (2000)
Race To Witch Mountain (2009): It is solid without being spectacular in any way.; Blu-Ray $39.95
Look Who's Talking (1989): If the screenplay wears thin after a while there is always Kirstie Alley to watch.
