    Married Life is absorbing

    I really found myself hooked by this little film. It stars Chris Cooper as a husband having an affair ( with Rachel McAdams ) and because he feels there is no easy way to end his marriage to Patricia Clarkson, he plots her murder. Pierce Brosnan portrays Cooper's best friend who becomes enamored with Cooper's mistress, and when he learns secrets about Cooper's wife, he unwittingly becomes involved in the murder plot. The film is summed up by the question, Do you really know what goes on in the mind of the person with whom you sleep ?

    I found this an excellent little film with believable characters and a storyline loaded with irony. I'd sort of put this in the dark/comedy/drama category. The acting is superb, especially by Chris Cooper who never failes to amaze me with his versatility in portraying various types. I highly recommend it.

      She looks good anytime, but in this film she is Blonde and really looks hot.

            How much should a student first time film cost?
            by oldbob
            In answer to my own question, I would say between $10,000 and $40,000 dollars. It used to be more but digital has drastically lowered the cost while at the same time making it much easier to produce a professional look.

            However, this isn’t a story about reasonable. This is the true...

            Now we all have learned that at the beginning of each day you are given your pages of the days work. For me that means I can figure out how I am going to utilize my crew and plan my day. The more I can get ahead of the company with pre-lighting the more time I can save production. And in film time is...
