We enjoy tried-and-true food recipes, but we for some reason enjoy complaining about longstanding, successful film formulas. “It’s sooo formulaic!” How come you never hear that regarding an impeccably cooked steak? Time-tested film formulas are just as tasty. One such tasty movie would be Disney’s “Secretariat,” a standard sports-formula film about the most phenomenal race horse of all time, and his owner, Penny Chenery (Diane Lane).
