‘Snake Eyes’ Now Available to Own Digitally; Blu-Ray in October

August 17, 2021August 17, 2021 Keith Chow

It’s no secret that Snake Eyes holds a special place in my heart. No matter the critical reception of the film, it was always going to be a movie I celebrate. While I would’ve approached the movie differently, I am still holding out hope for a follow-up film so we can see the further adventures of Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, and the rest of the cast.

‘Snake Eyes’ Rolls High With Experimental Take on Classic Character’s Origin

July 23, 2021July 23, 2021 Adonis Gonzalez

I couldn’t tell you much about the G.I. Joe universe. I know the pamphlet description: a group of U.S. anti-terrorists militants devoted to truth, justice, and never skipping leg day. I know that there are not one, but two live-action movies that I remember seeing, but couldn’t recite either premise even under pressure. And now, I know that whatever those other movies were doing, they were definitely focusing on the wrong Joe.

NOC Review: ‘Snake Eyes’ is a Win for the ‘G.I. Joe’ Franchise

July 22, 2021August 11, 2021 Mike Manalo

Disclaimer: I would like to apologize in advance to everyone out there who is a huge G.I. Joe fan, because you’re about to read a review from someone who isn’t a hardcore fan. I have heard mixed things about the film from a hardcore fan perspective, and I know some of the fans aren’t happy the mythology was changed. I would like you to know that if that’s the case, I’ve been there.
