Disney invited a few bloggers attending BlogHer to a special screening at the Manhattan Regal Theater of their yet to be released movie "Secretariat". We had special VIP seating which meant all the middle rows of the theater were reserved for us - too cool!
The movie's producer, Mark Ciardi, attended the screening and gave a short talk before the movie began. Although I am not allowed to give you an official review of the movie, I can say that in true Disney fashion, "Secretariat" is a movie with a wonderful story and a brilliant acting cast. Even though I knew how the story was going to end, the movie made my heart pound and left me breathless as I got caught up in the storyline. Disney has a real winner in "Secretariat" and I know the movie will do very well at the box office when it opens in theaters on October 8, 2010.

Meet Mark Ciardi
After the movie, we left the Regal theater and walked to the adjacent hotel for a meet and and greet cocktail party with the movie's producer Mark Ciardi. Mark was very friendly and gracious while talking with bloggers about why he felt compelled to make "Secretariat" and how he wanted to do the true story justice with a great movie. As bloggers were meeting with Mark, we were sipping on specialty drinks from the three bars at the private party.
