By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 03 Nov 2018

Review of Deadpool (2016)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Review of Ghostbusters (1984)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Partly because of the cast, partly because of the effects, partly because of Elmer Bernstein's score, and partly because of [Ivan] Reitman's…

Review of Black or White (2015)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Simply casting too wide a net to feel truly satisfying. In trying to be color blind, it just comes off as tone deaf…

Review of The Great Gatsby (2013)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Feels less like a literate attempt to translate Fitzgerald to the screen than it does the moonshine-induced fever dream of a crazed wino who…

Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Review of Blackhat (2015)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Arrives with such a resounding thud that one feels compelled to start a forensic investigation before the closing credits have even rolled…

Review of Dr. No (1962)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Review of The Da Vinci Code (2006)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

About as suspenseful and involving an affair as sitting through a two-and-a-half hour college lecture on cryptology, with a Sunday sermon thrown…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Review of Criminal (2016)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for Zaki's Corner (159) on 02 Nov 2018

Criminal is a harmless, if disposable piece of pre-summer entertainment, and as is so often the case, even when the material doesn't measure…
