...Some of the facilities advertise hospice care rather than cures. (Friends of Mrs. King say she was looking for a quiet place to spend her last days.) One of the most popular of this type is the Oasis of Hope Hospital in Playas de Tijuana. ?In a minority of cases, clinical options outside the U.S., particularly in Tijuana have helped people with late stage cancer or a diagnosis of death,? says Chowka. ?It has given them a more peaceful way to die through nutrition, pain relief and other palliative treatments.? He notes that there are instances of amazing medical rebounds...

...permission to leave him, but it is Pocahontas who proves her grace in the way she approaches and eventually resolves the situation. The sweeping landscape shots and sparing dialogue emphasize the possibility of transcendence that the “new world” offers, one rooted in its quiet strength and beauty.

...first five minutes. Keener lends humanity to Capote, and is the earth mother (or big sister) of all indies. McDormand's role was obvious and shrill, but she tempered it with her usual intelligence. Williams plays arguably the one unequivocally sympathetic character in Brokeback, and does so with quiet yearning beauty. And Adams redefines "adorable" as the star-struck yokel in Junebug.
