This is The Secret to everything - the secret to unlimited joy health money relationships love youth everything you have ever wanted
In this astonishing program are ALL the resources you will ever need to understand and live The Secret For the first time in history the worlds leading scientists authors and philosophers will reveal The Secret that utterly transformed the lives of every person who ever knew it Plato Newton Carnegie Beethoven Shakespeare Einstein
Now YOU will know The Secret
And it can change your life forever Not really a movie or documentary The Secret is more of a video seminar a presentation featuring a series of authors philosophers doctors quantum physicists entrepreneurs and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles What is The Secret exactly That principle can be summed up in three simple words thoughts become things proclaims writer Mike Dooley author of Notes from the Universe Put it another way it s The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money better health and relationships in short happiness There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense On the other hand the quick edits between presenters would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time dont help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms To many viewers this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality Plus its somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare its well known that some of the historical figures noted didnt exactly live happy or even prosperous lives despite their achievements But still the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone So what to make of it In the end programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses It simply won t resonate with everyone but if it resonates with you youre likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne --Daniel Vancini Wings of Desire (The

Universal Studios One of the greatest love stories of all time Pride Prejudice comes to the screen in a glorious new adaptation starring Keira Knightley When Elizabeth Bennett Knightley meets the handsome Mr Darcy Matthew MacFadyen she believes he is the last man on earth she could ever marry But as their lives become intertwined in an unexpected adventure she finds herself captivated by the very person she swore to loathe for all eternity Based on the beloved masterpiece by Jane Austen it is the classic tale of love and misunderstanding that sparkles with romance wit and emotional force Critics are calling it Exhilarating A joy from start to finish Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times Literary adaptations just dont get any better than director Joe Wrights 2005 version of Jane Austens Pride Prejudice The key word here is adaptation because Wright and gifted screenwriter Deborah Moggach have taken liberties with Austens classic novel that purists may find objectionable but in this exquisite film their artistic decisions are entirely justified and exceptionally well executed Its a more rural England that we see here circa 1790 as opposed to Austens early 19th century in which Elizabeth Bennet Keira Knightley is one of several sisters primed for marriage with an anxious mother Brenda Blethyn only too desperate to see her daughters paired off with the finest richest husbands available Elizabeth is strong-willed and opinionated but her head not to mention her pride and prejudice lead her heart astray when she meets the wealthy Mr Darcy Matthew Macfadyen whose own sense of decency and discretion not to mention his pride and prejudice prevent him from expressing his mutual affection Theyre clearly meant for each other and as Knightleys performance lights up the screen still young enough to be girlishly impertinent yet wise beyond her 20 years Austens timeless romance yields yet another timeless adaptation easily on par with the beloved BBC miniseries that has been embraced by millions since originally broadcast in 1995 Individual tastes will vary as to which version should be considered definitive but with a stellar supporting cast including Judi Dench and Donald Sutherland this impeccable production achieves its own kind of perfection --Jeff Shannon Australia TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENT 20th Century Fox A romantic action-adventure epic set in

no doubt whos in charge this could only be a film by Baz Luhrmann that wacky purveyor of all things over-the-top In this old-fashioned 165-minute hymn to his native continent Luhrmann travels back to the late 1930s/ early 40s for a scenario that would not have been out of place at MGM in that era Straightlaced Lady Sarah Ashley Nicole Kidman journeys Down Under and is put under the protection of--crikey--a rugged cattle driver known only as the Drover Hugh Jackman When the two are forced to team up along with a motley crew of misfits to take a herd of cattle through the hostile landscape their way is challenged by the dastardly plans of the local beef baron Bryan Brown and his elaborately evil lieutenant David Wenham At some point you realize that this films main commodity is not cattle but corn Luhrmann piles on the melodrama and the old-school climaxes with his usual frantic glee Employing When You Wish Upon a Star and the Japanese air force to make his case is not beyond Luhrmann and he reaches big here Those with a taste for un-ironic silliness might just go for this stuff but even fans of the Baz will have their patience tested by the broad comedy and the absence of discernable chemistry between Kidman and Jackman em Australia / em does manage to skewer the cultures prejudices against the Aboriginal people but in this context such a victory comes across as rather
