Not heard of this one? I wouldn’t blame you if that was the case. Cake is an incredibly underrated film about the life of a single woman (Aniston) as she comes to terms with the death of her son and the suicide of a close friend and support worker.

Released in 2015, Aniston was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance here and it’s easy to see why. This is a difficult film to watch and is by far the most powerful role the actress has ever taken on. The most disappointing aspect of Cake however, is that Aniston wasn’t nominated for an Oscar that year – something fans of the film and the Friends star alike still find hard to stomach. Was she worthy of a nomination? Absolutely.

Excellent read!
In January of 2018, I told myself I would take more time to read more books this year as a way to get back into my love of reading. This was one of the first books I discovered as I was standing in a line at the grocery store. I picked it up and threw it into my cart and started it as soon as I got home. I couldn't put it down! It had me stuck in its grip and I was too involved in it to even try. I loved all the twists and turns it involved. I was completely surprised to find out who the kidnapper was and what the plan had been all along. It was well written and kept my attention. I plan on recommending this book for my book club.

Almost incomprehensibly bad comic spoof of Sherlock Holmes that - despite the presence of many talented and genuinely funny performers - still manages to be totally lacking in laughs, wit, or anything much in the way of entertainment value. Serious adaptations of the original stories - hell, the original stories themselves - all managed to be much funnier than this.

General tone of self-satisfied knowing stupidity; lazy jokes about Donald Trump, selfies, people texting dick pics, etc; much-too-late-to-the-party spoofing of the Guy Ritchie Holmes films from nearly ten years ago. I'll go and see just about anything but it took a sustained effort of will not to walk out of this film. 2018 may have departed but this film lingers on in its wake like the stench from rotting carrion. For pity's sake, avoid.
