Tubbs’s Film Reviews

8089 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Orphan (2009): These horror films should be about 80 mins. otherwise there is a problem maintaining the suspense. This one also needed to reign in the violence as its excess became a turn off.
Second Time Around, The (1961): A light comedy that you cannot dislike – Debbie is very good and stands up to the physical demands of the comedy very well.
Absolutely Anything (2015): Pegg is a good choice but the material does get a bit repetitive. However the animated characters breathe a bit of life into events when things start to lag.
Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan (1982): A bit dated 35 years on but still watchable mainly because of the family of characters that was established in the TV series.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Valkyrie (2008): There is acting talent to burn here plus there is Tom Cruise. There was a chance to kill him off in the first scene but the talented Bernard Hill paid the price instead. Excellent production values.
Friends with Benefits (2011): Infantile
Bad Moms (2016): Its watchable as parts of it were okay but the comedy overall was forced – just like hearing false laughter at the boss's jokes.
Love & Friendship (Love and Friendship) (2016): It is heavy on dialogue which is heavy more than witty but the performances are fine and the wardrobe and set designs are spot on.
Orca (The Killer Whale) (1977): The Orca segments (literally) looked authentic. I found nothing wrong with Orca sticking its nose into other people's business (boats) and was a good way of getting the message across to those bastards that hunt whales.
Clash by Night (1952): The acting by a more than capable cast is fine and handle the screenplay – which is not too intricate – with ease.
