Happy first day of Star Wars, everyone! Oh yeah, and it’s a week until Christmas, so that’s fun too. Wish I could say I had some Star Wars Scribbles for you today, but let’s have some winter themed ones instead. One talks of cold winters past, the other of modern wet winters (basically, Californian winters), and one of simple good cheer. Enjoy.

The whole family had been cursed since…
He didn’t want to go out on such a night, but…
He was excited to find 150 new emails in his inbox.

But… since I missed out on my duties yesterday, let today also be about the new Classic Snippet. I know I said I was going to post this yesterday, but honestly, I chickened out because I didn’t want the post to be washed over by the inevitable tide of Star Wars posts on social media. Now, however, I’m ready to dive into Studio Ghibli’s latest masterpiece.

When Marnie Was There

Fear not Devoted Fans, your weekly Classic Snippet will appear later this eve. The delay will be worth your wait as I am nearing time to view and review… you got it – Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

Today’s theme is movies that premiered directly on Netflix, our newest source of media. The first film we’re looking at delves into the life and times of Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards. The other one comes to us from… Sandler… again… please shoot me…

Keith Richards: Under the Influence
The Ridiculous 6

I hate the fact that I have to use “classic” to describe this movie, because the two simply do not belong in the same sentence. It might have worked if it was a kids movie… and had a different script… and had all of Adam Sandler and his Sandlerness removed…

On the seventh day of Christmas, Fish and Cherries gave to me… four Reel Snippets?! Yes indeed. I wasn’t kidding when I said that I’d be coming back swinging from my vacation. So here you go, four whole reviews. Also, for the Jewish portion of my fanbase, consider this your present for the second day of Hanukkah.

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, because we’re back on what I like to call an equation day. What’s that, you may ask? Well, it’s when the numbers in the date form a legit mathematical equation. For today, 12 + 3 = 15. Or 3 + 12 = 15, if you’re in the UK. Going past that quirk of my mind, let’s settle down for a Classic Snippet that would have been more topical coming out on Thanksgiving. Also, since we’re approaching award season, let’s look at an Academy Award nominated classic from recent years. Enjoy.

Flight
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Here we are. Finally, the end of the Road to Genisys and the final film in the Terminator franchise. I’ve sat through the good and the bad and have truly come to love this franchise. Well, okay, I mostly love the first two. With all that said, let’s dive into Genisys and see how our loyalty has been repaid.

Terminator Genisys

I know you guys are itching for me to review Spectre, but that will come in time. In the meantime, see my thoughts on the latest true story brought to life… which kind of sounds like an oxymoron when you think about it.

The 33

Could it be? Could I actually be reviewing a legitimate classic for once? Well, let’s enjoy the moment because Terminator Genisys is coming next week.

November’s going to be packed with movies and maybe I can get more than one Snippet in a day. But enough about the future, let’s travel down memory lane.
