Star Wars Skeleton Crew Season 1 2024

 Star Wars Skeleton Crew


“Jedi 1,to Jedi 2. I have found something amazing, but don't tell the girls.”

“Whatever it is, don't touch it!”

“What are those?”
- Star Wars Skeleton Crew

Remarkably delightful, wonderfully engaging, tremendously enthralling. You know, I've always wondered what hyperbole and superlatives were really meant for. I guess my wondering is over. I like to be as honest and forthright as I can be when it comes to approaching entertainment criticism. I never want to be overly emotional or reactionary. In essence, I want to allow the piece to speak for itself, to take myself out of the equation and allow you to experience the story as it wants you to. So, I won't beat around the bush, Star Wars Skeleton Crew is childish enthusiasm come to life.
There are times when one must forgo their most solemn rules for the betterment of the entertainment loving public. Like this rule: never review a TV series until it has completed its current season. That is also a foregone conclusion when you've only seen the first two episodes of that season. So don't do it, don't you dare do it. Though, now that I think about it, who needs that role? I certainly don't. So let's just throw it out, shall we.
Star Wars Skeleton Crew’s opening salvo of episodes is such a confection of filmic wonder that it calls for your attention right now. I may eat my words in the coming weeks but, at this moment in time I don't think that matters. Creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford with their team have orchestrated childhood wonder and play to such a marvelous degree. Even if these are the only two watchable episodes in the season, these two episodes are a delight to behold. Become a child again, adventure and mystery awaits…

Rated TV-PG Moderate violence

I found the first two episodes of Star Wars Skeleton Crew to be exhilaratingly entertaining, charming and delightful. I hope in some way you do too.

My Top 5 Films of 2024

5.  Twisters 2024 “Nature's masterpiece.” If you feel it, chase it” “You don't face your fears you ride them” All right, I'll just say it, Twisters is an exhilarating experience. It is one of the most well orchestrated summer blockbusters that I have seen in years. Yet, it is also a film that never forgets the vehicles of utter power and destruction that it illustrates on-screen. Perhaps that is the film's strength: it is able, in a real tangible way, to convey these acts of God with respect and reverence for their awesome power. It does this, without losing, for one second the thrill and wonder of the chase. Twisters is a roller coaster ride in the best sense of the phrase. It has heart, meaning and poignancy in every inch of its special effects filled plunge, into the thrills and difficulties of storm chasing. On that note it is a movie that uses all of the available filmic and auditory tools to the greatest effect. At least to my ears Twisters is an exh...

Who Made Man's Mouth: Recontextualizing Disability as an Ordinary, Every Day, Purpose Driven Life

Michelangelo's Moses c.1513-1515 Who Made Man's Mouth:   Recontextualizing Disability as an Ordinary, Every Day, Purpose Driven Life     "I want to live in a world where we value genuine achievement for disabled people, and I want to live in a world where a kid in year 11 at a Melbourne high school is not one bit surprised that his new teacher is a wheelchair user. Disability does not make you exceptional, but questioning what you think you know about it does." -Stella Young, TEDxSidney 2014      When you realize that perhaps you've been misunderstanding a core tenant of  yourself for a better part of your life, you begin to deconstruct the factors that brought you to that realization. Now, before we start this journey I want to say that I am not a theologian nor am I trying to be one. This endeavor is as much a journey of discovery for me as it is for you. It is a recontextualization of ...

The Boys in the Boat 2023

Image
 " It's called Swing, when all eight are rowing in such perfect unison that no single action is out of sync with the rest of the boat. Then you aren't fighting each other, you're moving less effort. Each one of your strokes is worth one and a half of the other boats. Most groups never find it, but when they do, rowing is more poetry than sport.” What does it take to be one? How do we overcome our innate desire to be loners, to fend for ourselves? These are questions that The Boys in the Boat attempts to answer. As a film the story of the 1936 Washington State Crew team brings us back to essentials. What is Sport? Is it a singular endeavor or does it require a team? The truth is, even when a singular person is on the field, their skills are still being honed by many hands. This is the essential aspect of Sport that we are asked to recall in thls engaging journey of the Washington Crew team, as they seek for Olympic Gold. It may seem like you've seen ever...
