Review of The Kill Team (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 23 Oct 2019

Review of Jexi (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 14 Oct 2019

Jexi feels hopelessly out of step with the moment. Despite its subject matter, it’s a flip phone movie in a smart phone world…

Review of The Fanatic (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 28 Aug 2019

Review of Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 08 Aug 2019

It's so joyful and confident in its own premise that it practically dares you not to walk out of the theater with a smile on your face,…

Review of The Great Hack (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 Jul 2019

At its best, The Great Hack will alarm you, infuriate you, and — hopefully — activate you…

Review of Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 Jun 2019

Review of Being Frank (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Jun 2019

Review of Glass (2019)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 24 Jan 2019

Despite being a critique of superhero tropes at a time when those tropes have never been more ubiquitous, Glass never quite gels in a way…

Review of Noah (2014)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 21 Dec 2018

Review of Need for Speed (2014)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 21 Dec 2018

Review of Non-Stop (2014)
