Tubbs’s Film Reviews

1010 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Spread (2009): I think it might have been made during one of the writer's strikes.
Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris (2022): Well made and works thanks to Lesley Manville. The great Isabelle Huppert is wasted.
Speedway Junky (1999): An uneven screenplay but it does have some good segments even if they are not particularly original. It climaxes but then drags out for another few scenes which doesn't help. The performances are okay but some of the strutting young males are annoying.
Cocaine Bear (2023): Although the screenplay weakens a little, overall it is a comedy horror that works. The bear activity is cleverly done.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody) (2022): It follows formula for this kind of thing.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948): Nothing spectacular but a very solid screenplay, performances, and believable characters.
Real Women Have Curves (2003): Some good social commentary interspersed with daughter vs. mum (Lupe Ontiveros is terrific) all done for the most part without bitterness.
Captain, The (Der Hauptmann) (2017): Fiction or non–fiction, it is a very good piece of satirical writing.
Faintheart (2008): Interesting characters and ones that have been correctly cast. Nothing wrong with the screenplay and script either. And it is British.
Babylon (2022): Although it is too long its production values and a driving soundtrack help to maintain some interest. Some excellent ensemble dance numbers are the highlight. Margot Robbie tries really hard and cannot be faulted for lack of effort.
