Movie #712 ........................."Two Weeks"

Movie #712 "Two Weeks" is one of the movies that I think will be removed from the streaming list at the first of the year, and netflix said I would like it, and they were right, I did. There was some controversy over this one because it is about Sally Field dying in the course of the film, about 2 weeks, with her kids sitting around and waiting. As a result, it is very tense and sad, but it has lot of humor, and some people don't think it is a laughing matter---I enjoyed watching all the interactions of the brothers and sisters in an extremely sad situation/family tragedy. And the cast is very competent, esp. Sally Field, who handles the stressful part well. If it's true a good movie takes you to places you've never been before or ever want to be, this is an example of the latter --- I liked it! I give it 3.9 stars out of 5 Two Weeks 2006 R 99 minutes When four grown siblings return to their hometown to say farewell to their dying mother, the brief stay they anticipated instead turns into an agonizing two weeks in this indie tearjerker based on director Steve Stockman's personal experience.
