Tubbs’s Film Reviews

World War II in Colour (TV Series) (World War 2 in Colour) (2009): Impressive research and collation of library film with a top narrative performance.
Bird (1988): Very long but this is compensated for by some very good musical segments and production values.
Gone Baby Gone (2007): Not a convincing screenplay but there is a very good final scene and some of the characters are interesting. The best performance is from Amy Ryan.
Third Man, The (1949): The screenplay is stodgy in parts, particularly in the first half, but every now and then there is a knockout scene. The final scene is a wonderful unforgettable anti–climax. The zither player works overtime to produce a unique soundtrack.
Sightseers (2012): Enough of the comedy works to make it worthwhile.
Aviator, The (1985): The flying sequences were good but the screenplay was very predictable.
Apollo 11 (2019): It is good that somebody had thought to bring a camera along to record the event.
Origin of Evil, The (2022): The writing is pretty good and there are a few cat fights when things reach boiling point. Laure Calamy is excellent.; DVD $29.95
Liberal Arts (2012): Another writer/director romantic screenplay. As usual, nothing of note happens.
Baraka (1993): Outstanding.
