Kenneth “Commander” Shipp has had opinions on movies since he was a kid…even if that meant talking to himself. He loves tackling the issues involved with our modern blockbusters while still enjoying the deep dives into the films you may have glossed over.

Nintendo: A Heavy Handed Epiphany
So this post has been building since I saw the travesty that took place at E3. The travesty you ask? Nintendo’s completely lackluster presentation. I saw the Star Fox Zero gameplay, the lack of Zelda, and no Nintendo NX in…
“Adolescent Quirkiness At It’s Best” Me & Earl & The Dying Girl Review
Quirky coming of age stories are a dime a dozen. Thankfully this one figures out how to give us a fresh take on adolescence handling life and death. Alfonso Gomez-Rejon’s first movie was a typical horror film misfire, but with this…
