Tubbs’s Film Reviews

886 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Frankie (TV Series) (2013): It is as good as a lot of other similar TV series. There is the odd comedic moment which helps.
Invisible Woman, The (2013): The screenplay wasn't particularly interesting but it was well produced.
Death Defying Acts (2007): It might be a romance but the screenplay would have been better without it. Saoirse Ronan is very good as are the period details.
Gold (The Great Gold Conspiracy) (1974): Not memorable but a watchable screenplay with an interesting cast.
Halt and Catch Fire (TV Series) (2014-2017): S1:It did not catch fire for me but it could find an audience.
Bringing Out the Dead (1999): It is well written with some good off beat humour. The shooting locations are well chosen and add to the darkness.
Million Pound Note, The (1953): Excellent satirical writing. A good supporting cast with the wonderful Joyce Grenfell stealing her scenes.
A Star Is Born (1976): It didn't matter to Barbara that another version of the story was unnecessary. She did everything with gusto and she is the main reason for the film's raison d'être.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023): The animation of the city particularly the streets was excellent.
Magnificent Ambersons, The (1942): It never betters the opening scenes but the writing is pretty good throughout and the camera work is always interesting.
