Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1010 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Silent Partner, The (1978): It is a pretty good story and the casting of Plummer, Gould, and York is hard to ignore.
Butterflies Are Free (1972): The screenplay maintains its stage origins and is heavy on dialogue in a limited space.
Made In Romania (2010): The casting was an interesting mix and helped to bolster interest in the uneven screenplay.
21 Hours at Munich (1976): A reasonable re–enactment with Holden and Nero included no doubt to add lustre to the proceedings.
Oliver Twist (1948): Robert Newton and Alec Guinness head an excellent cast of supporting performers. The set designs are superb.
Sex Traffic (Mini-Series) (2004): The screenplay does a commendable job of portraying a part of the sex trade in a no frills manner. It was too long however as it got its strong message across very ably at what would have been the normal feature length.
Blood and Sand (1941): I always cheer for the bull.
All the King's Men (1949): A bullying performance from Crawford is the centre piece of this well written screenplay but Mercedes McCambridge's performance is just as worthy.
Hideous Kinky (1999): The screenplay is loosely structured but this is not a problem thanks to the central performer, the locations, and the terrific smorgasbord soundtrack.
Yentl (1983): A never ending screenplay with modest musical interruptions.
