Default 'The Secret (2008)' -- pre-release buzz

Never heard of this one, but the David Duchovny-Lili Taylor supernatural drama (no relation to the book phenomenon of the same name) will hit Blu-ray on August 12:

http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/secret2008.html

Tech specs include 1080p video and DTS-MA 5.1 audio.

There's no announced supplements.

MSRP is $35.98.

oh dear lord, i saw the title, and thought "if it's that oprah-spawned fad of not accepting responsibility, i'm gonna shoot myself..."

now that i know it's just a david duchovny vehicle, i'll just probably pass.

I love seeing Mulder kicking it in other shows....although I still don't think I'll check this one out.

I'm just glad it isn't a release of that self help movie....

This is by far the worst headline HDD has made for a movie announcement.

I just watched this film and thought it was really great! Someone sent me the Korean DVD that is in english and has titles but you can take them away. It also has extras. I really recommend it. Really great story and very good acting by all.

Cover up.


Noticed when I was updating the Pre-Order page. I thought it was a different 'Secret' though. This one. Was gonna skip but since David Duchbag is in it I'll get it. (I'm on a X-Files chrase)

DVDTalk Review
Buyer Beware...

Quote:
The image is unusually soft and sorely lacking in the sort of detail and definition expected from such a recent film.

Tighter shots still tend to look somewhat nice, but some stretches are virtually indistinguishable from what I'd expect out of an upconverted DVD, and this Blu-ray disc as a whole would seem to be only a modest step up.

blurry and smeared

color has been drained away

Wait, Vincent Perez directed this??? The guy that played The Crow in City of Angels? Hmmm, I see Luc Besson's name in there too.




It shall be a rental.

i got this from netflix and the film I thought was very good. Its like vice versa and freaky friday but with drama thrown into the mix instead of comedy. I found it to be entertaining and might pick it up for the right price.

it didnt look detailed and its nothing where the sound could blow you away. The movie however is worth checking out
