		Sabah - Ruba Nadda, Arsinée Khanjian, Shawn Doyle, Fadia Nadda - CIA
		Despite her familial duties, Sabah's continual frustration is the regular need to answer to her older brother Majid (Jeff Seymour), a man who controls not only the family fortunes but also the family's choices.
		With surprise and concern Sabah falls in love with Stephen, however, the pressures of leading a double life begin to take a toll on both the relationship and her family life.

	Sabah (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		One day, when Sabah least expects it, she falls in love with the wrong man. She's Muslim, he's not.
		A Jewish friend I saw this movie with remarked on how she strongly identified with characters and situations which happen to be Arab in origin.
		As a screenwriter myself I suggest that the script can be studied for its briskness and conciseness and a certain fairness in the layers of conflict and consequence as each character speaks up and manages to change our own judgment a bit.

		Sabah is the eldest daughter of a Syrian family that immigrated to Canada.
		When Sabah and her brother have their inevitable showdown, her brother is not shown as a laughable caricature of an uptight old-world male.
		As hard as Sabah’s life has been, we get to see that her brother has struggled too, trying to hold the family together, burdened by some painful truths that he has hidden in attempt to protect the rest of the family.

	milkriverblog: ENV: Finding Sumatran Rhinos
		The rhinos were tracked into the dense jungles of Sabah state in Borneo Island in May by a team of 120 government wildlife officials, academics and members of WWF-Malaysia, the WWF said in a statement Friday.
		Sabah is the last preserve of the Borneo Sumatran Rhino, a subspecies of the Sumatran Rhino.
		Sabah's Chief Minister Musa Aman said this week that logging will be phased out in large tracts of forests in the "Heart of Borneo" area, which includes the rhino habitat.

	Sabah
		Sabah's father was an antique furniture dealer, a business carried on and greatly expanded by his married son Majid (Jeff Seymour), who has assumed the role of family benefactor, or autocrat, depending on your point of view.
		Although Sabah manages the household's daily finances, she is accountable to Majid, who reviews her expenditures with what seems like an invariably disapproving eye.
		As always, Sabah's hair is covered, this time by a bathing cap, but Khanjian, in one of many lovely little touches, acts as if she is stark naked and can't wait to disappear under Stephen's interested gaze.

	Film Review: Sabah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Sabah (Arsinee Khangjian) is a 40-year-old Muslim spinster, who still lives at home in Toronto, looking after her mum since her father died and is the rock the rest of the family rely on in times of trouble.
		Sabah plots with her niece Souhaire to try to help her find the right guy and at the same time begins to open up herself.
		Sabah, beautifully acted by Khangjian, discovers a forgotten joie de vivre and the audience is carried along with her.

		As Sabah, Khanjian really carries the film; she is so vulnerable initially, and it is quite wonderful to watch Khanjian allow her character to blossom under the influence of love..but there are many other levels to this story and a complex structure of cultural issues holding up the main narrative."
		Sabah (Arsinée Kanjian, ARARAT) is a forty-year-old woman who lives at home with her elderly mother (Fadia Nadda).
		Sabah has spent years caring for her mother without complaint, but years of sacrifice and heeding the commands of her traditional brother Majid (Jeff Seymour) have begun to take their toll.

		For movies, as for advertising, there is also the question of timing, or the historical moment: both tend to respond to key political or social developments in the life of a culture.
		The aim of such movies is to turn a lie into a fact, or a stereotype into a piece of coveted wisdom, or racism into a love for one’s homeland.
		By demonizing these three, the movie confirms for its Turkish viewers the righteousness of the racist belief implanted into their heads by years and years of ideological indoctrination at school, at home, and at the workplace, namely, that to be a Turk is to be racially superior to others.

		"The day Sabah turns 40, she decides to bring this change to her life and that's where she falls in love for the first time," said Khanjian, who grew up in the Middle East.
		While Sabah struggles to have a life and simultaneously meet the high expectations of her family, including her overbearing brother, her teenage niece (Fadia Nadda) is on high-rebel mode.
		Sabah is a romantic tale about true love and overcoming adversity, but there are many other levels to this story and a complex structure of cultural issues holding up the main narrative.

	Ottawa XPress - Film - An ode to ByTowne's Dennis Tremblay, and a review of Sabah
		Shot in Toronto in 20 days, writer-director Ruba Nadda's movie leads us down a predictably bumpy cultural path when Sabah, a dutiful but modern-thinking 40-year-old Muslim woman who takes care of her widowed mother, finds herself attracted to a man after a towel mix-up at a swimming pool.
		So begins Sabah's summer of deception as she listens to her heart while juggling the competing demands of her loving, spoiled, overbearing family.
		She's often described as 'that chick from the Atom Egoyan movies' but if the buzz on this movie is at all accurate she may finally be establishing a persona beyond that label.

	SOS Rhino
		Movie director Tony Francis Gitom said he hoped Cinta Kinabalu would be a box office hit and also popularise Sabah's tourism assets as well as its wildlife such as the orang-utan and rhinoceros.
		Despite the plot, Gitom said that the movie, which would be released by next January, could be described as a comedy thriller with elements of love conflict thrown in for good measure.
		Among the locations where the movie would be filmed is the Sepilok forest reserve next to the orang-utan rehabilitation centre, the east coast Lahad Datu district, oil palm plantations and the city.

	SABAH The Movie - Classical 96.3 FM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Even while she’s reveling in her new found sensuality, Sabah has to placate—and prevaricate—her family, particularly her brother Majid (Seymour), who has taken over the role of patriarch after the death of their father.
		Her greatest success is in creating Sabah’s home where melodrama, meals, music—and bellydancing—co-exist in an uneasy alliance.
		Not that one wants West Side Story but the story flips dramatically—and willfully—in its “last act.” One knows why: Nadda wants to portray her community (one that is under attack), in as positive a way as possible.

	Cinema Eye: Sabah
		She uses Sabah’s 40th birthday celebration to introduce the audience to the different family members and the situation at hand.
		Worse still, Sabah’s male lover Stephen is just a yes man. He is given only one instance to express disapproval and in the next scene, he is all forgiveness.
		SABAH is a feel-good love story, but again a very manipulative one at that.

		When thinking of movie zombies, one pictures the lumbering antagonists of George A. Romero’s Living Dead series or maybe the fast raging ones seen in 28 Days Later and the Dawn of the Dead remake.
		Set in the Australian countryside, Undead follows a beauty queen, a mysterious fisherman, two cops, a bush pilot and his very pregnant girlfriend as they’re forced to deal with meteor showers, acid rain, alien abductions and, yes, zombies.

		The humble, kind, and defeated Ghawar, or Wadud, was a reflection of the humble, kind, and defeated Arab citizen, who is overpowered by regional and international circumstances, and is unable, and unwilling, to say no to his fate, accepting it rather sluggishly.
		The movie, written by political playwright Mohammad al-Maghout, was a sharp criticism of the current Arab regimes, that preach Arab unity, yet are far from achieving it when a passport forbids an Arab citizen from moving about freely in the Arab World, causing him in fact, to lose his own country and identity as well.
		At a film festival in Egypt, the movie was so popular that movie-goers coined Lahham "the Arabic Charlie Chaplin." The second film al-Takrir, also starring Raghdad, is about an honest civil servant who refuses to be bribed, and is forced out of office by his corrupt seniors.

		She lives full-time with her widowed mother, Amal (Kathryn Winslow), who has unspecified medical problems that give Sabah at least a few opportunities to leave the house for trips to the pharmacy, albeit covered from head to foot, even at the height of summer.
		What charms Sabah, however, is lost on her overbearing brother, Majid (Jeff Seymour), who is an absolutist on things ethnic and familial-not that this keeps him from the usual natty western clothes and sports car.
		Ultimately, the filmmaker shoves her pieces into place with a very predictable hand: she scrupulously follows the dictum that if a movie centres on sisters, there will be dancing in the kitchen.

	Kuwait’s Emir rebuilt nation after Iraq occupation - Deccan Herald - Internet Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Al Sabah dynasty, which dates back to the mid 1700s, has kept much of Kuwait’s oil wealth and political power firmly in its hands since the country gained full independence in 1961.
		In 2003, after calls by the opposition for the ruling family to loosen its grip on power, the emir issued a landmark decree separating the post of crown prince from that of prime minister, a move seen as an attempt to fill the power void caused by the illness of the crown prince.
		As prime minister, Sheikh Sabah has vowed to speed up economic and political reforms to help Kuwait regain its status as a regional hub before investors were spooked by the Iraq war.

		Umpteenth movie from Toles and Maddin is, like all their others, surreal and dreamlike, directed, stylistically, like an old movie, with glitches and clumsy edits, filmed mainly in fl and white.
		Not to be confused with Tokyo Cowboy, another Canadian movie from around the same time.

		But as Riedelsheimer reveals, Glennie has learned to tune her whole body to noises and pitch, until her extreme sensitivity to the vibrations of music is, as the title of the film suggests, based on touch.
		It's a jazzy enough concept for a movie, and the cast – which also includes Jared Leto as Yuri's druggie brother; Bridget Moynahan as Yuri's oblivious trophy wife; and Ethan Hawke as Yuri's Interpol n emesis – is nearly as pretty as Niccol's flashy visual style.
		Too much of this set is a desultory series of weak "So, what' s in the news today?" jokes, predictably tapping audience outrage at "the most embarrassing president in history," stroking their fur with a lot of references to the gay-marriage issue, and so forth.

		The action scenes you speak of were great and I remember thinking to myself, more or less, "these are some of the most realistic, and exciting fighting scenes I've ever seen" (I mention that because sometimes there's a negative trade-off in animation where realism and excitement are concerned and that wasn't the case here).
