Tubbs’s Film Reviews

241 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tubbs.

3:10 to Yuma (1957): With a low body count, not your traditional Western. Well written and performed. The stress on the local townsfolk when confronted by the bad guys was very convincing.
Take Me Out To The Ball Game (Everybody's Cheering) (1949): Musically not very strong but there is Kelly's dancing to admire. The screenplay is padding.
Strait-Jacket (1964): The screenplay had a sharp edge.
T2 Trainspotting (2017): An uneven screenplay but Ewen Bremner's feel for comedy makes it worthwhile as does the soundtrack.
Happy Valley (TV Series) (2014-2023): S1: The characters are believable and there is no room for flower pots. Sarah Lancashire is impressive.; DVD ~~$29.95~~ $22.45
Frankie (TV Series) (2013): It is as good as a lot of other similar TV series. There is the odd comedic moment which helps.
Invisible Woman, The (2013): The screenplay wasn't particularly interesting but it was well produced.
Death Defying Acts (2007): It might be a romance but the screenplay would have been better without it. Saoirse Ronan is very good as are the period details.
Gold (The Great Gold Conspiracy) (1974): Not memorable but a watchable screenplay with an interesting cast.
Halt and Catch Fire (TV Series) (2014-2017): S1:It did not catch fire for me but it could find an audience.
