Ever since "The Brothers McMullen", I've loved Edward Burns. Soooo, in finding a weekend flick, we chose "Newlyweds", based solely on the fact that it is his independent film in which he stars. What a treat. Very Woody Allen-ish in format. Very E.B. in demeanor and voice. And very true in much of the triteness we like to sport: Marriage is clearly tough enough, without the input of any relatives, and misery clearly loves company.

Filmed with a shiny, new $3,000 Canon and for only an additional $6,000, the streets of New York become the background for the film. This interview is fabulous and really affords a ton of insight as to just what it is to make a successful Indies movie versus a mega-dollars studio pic. I do not recall having seen "Sidewalks Of New York", as mentioned in the exchange, but I'll seek it out, now.
Be ready for jumpy filming and straight-out chatter... something different that I'm not rating with a number. Oh, and low-budget films come a tad pricier on Pay-Per... FYI. :-)
