Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Another Simple Favor (2025) This was a significant drop in quality and enjoyment from the first one. The story isn't as good and it lacks the sense of fun of the first one. Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively are fine, but both were better in the first. The cinematography, sets and costumes are pretty good. A couple amusing moments, but not enough for my liking.

Umpteenth Rewatch...The final film pairing of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepbiu=n, which earned Tracy the acadmey's first posthumous nomination and earned Hepburn her second Oscar, is still a joy to watch. I never get tired of that fabulous scene where Hepburn fires her assistant, played by Virginia Christine (Mrs Olsen on the old Folgers commercials). I think William Rose's screenplay plays it a little too safe in thsi story of an interracial romance. In this film Joey Drayton (Katharne Houghton) brings home a handsome doctor with multiple degrees, honors, and lost a wife and child in an accident. Over the years I've wndered how differently this story would have played if Joey had brought home a drug dealer or a pimp. It's still a great movie and Tracy and Hepburn are always worth watching.

I saw that scene with the grinning chauffeur in Burnt Offerings as a very young child and it severely traumatized me! It still bothers me today.
