San Francisco Cowboy (2023)
Saddle Up For a Fun Ride
San Francisco Cowboy is more than just an entertaining movie, it's also a great promotional piece for San Francisco, featuring some of the City's best sights (you'll have to see the movie to know which ones). Emotions in the film run the gamut from sadness, to pleasure and ultimately joy with a true happy ending. Director Zee adds in a few interesting quirks reflective of his style in yet another successful departure from his prior works which focused on Indian/Pakistani themes. It's a refreshing story from an entertainment industry that prefers to rinse and repeat with old content rather than take risks with true creativity or storytelling. This movie has been accepted into several film festivals. You'll need to watch it so see why!
Bicycle Bride (2010)
Comedy with a Dash of Curry
Bicycle Bride is a smart, witty and educational film that sheds a much-needed positive light on Muslim culture in the United States. It features a pretty girl, a handsome boy and an overbearing mother that would give Darth Vader a run for his money! Americans have the benefit of freedom when picking a husband or wife. Some do it online while others do it the old fashioned way. For Muslims, dating is about as acceptable as drinking alcohol or noshing on a little pork. They just don't do it. Parents pick their children's spouses, like American girls buy clothes. Shocking I know, but that's the reality. Bicycle Bride is a clash of cultures, east vs. west, tradition vs. modernity and liberty vs. servitude. This film covers a lot of ground in both an entertaining and touching way. Most importantly, Bicycle Bride gives us a refreshing window into one of the world's most important religions.
