Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1102 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Slumber Party Massacre (1982): No surprises here. The cover tells it all. For its type however, it is as good as many others.
Mondovino (2004): A bit too long – I am sure it could have made its point in shorter time. It would have been more interesting when first released than twenty years further on. Worth a watch though.
Iceman Cometh, The (Time Warriors) (1989): A very good mix of comedy and action based on an entertaining plot idea.
Novocaine (2001): The screenplay is uneven but the plot idea is not too bad. Helena Bonham Carter and Laura Dern take the limelight by some margin.
Down To Earth (1947): The screenplay is of minor interest but there is some real talent in the supporting cast for eg. the great Edward Everett Horton.
Short Circuit (1986): It has lasted 40 years and it should stay around quite a bit longer.
Doctor Zhivago (TV Series) (2003): Considering its length it doesn't drag to any great extent. The period setting is handled very well and there is good use of library film.
Nightmare On Elm Street, A (1984): Probably influential for other horror filmmakers.
Road To Bali (1952): Good clean fun.
Americans, The (TV Series) (2013): If the characters spent less time in the bedroom it might have been a couple of hours shorter but otherwise, it was well written. There is a good performance from Noah Emmerich.
