10/8 Secretariat
What Caught My Eye –Mike Rich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike and http://www.imdb.com/Mike Rich/ ) is the writer for this film. Mike Rich also wrote Finding Forrestor, The Rookie and The Nativity. I think that John Malkovich and Diane Lane will be be enjoyable in this movie. Check out the trailer and see if your heart is not stirred a little.
