Tubbs’s Film Reviews

892 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

Jason's Lyric (1996): It relies a bit too much on violence and therefore is indistinguishable from many other screenplays.
My Fair Lady (1964): The songs are brilliant, and GBS's satirical writing is not lost in the screenplay. It is good to see Audrey cast in a meaty character for once, and she is excellent.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Moby Dick (2010): A decent adaptation, but no matter which version you see, you end up cheering for the whale.
Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970): A little dated 55 years on, but it has some curiosity value still.
Cloudburst (2011): Olympia is a bit over the top at times, but it at least has some freshness to it.
Salt of Life, The (2011): As undemanding light entertainment, it is good.
Midsummer Night's Dream, A (1999): There should be entertainment enough even for non fans of Shakespeare.
Treasure Island (Long John Silver) (1950): A memorable performance from Robert Newton, plus a very good supporting cast, topped off with cinematography from the great Freddie Young.
Jane Austen in Manhattan (1980): I couldn't find any appeal in the characters or the screenplay.
Savage Innocents, The (1960): Commendably the screenplay is innovative, and there is some great location shooting, but overall it is a mixed bag.
