Blu-Ray Review: Silly ‘Secretariat’ Bolstered By Superb Extras
Submitted by mattmovieman on February 3, 2011 - 3:38pmCHICAGO – There are few things more unsightly than a small-minded film that pats itself on the back for being enlightened. “Secretariat” is no more about a horse than “The Blind Side” was about a football player.
