      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Following director John Carpenter

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits an appropriately dark picture, but must be viewed in a completely blackened room to see what visual information is available in the dim, undefined scenes. Color fidelity is generally satisfying, but blacks are slightly weak. The picture has a plugged-up quality that is wanting in a more natural, open appearance. There is some moir

    Reason #44 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for several reasons. While sometimes I find it somewhat over-technical, the features I enjoy are always read. One Installer’s Opinion and the DVD reviews are my favorites. The wrap-around glossy cover featuring the hottest movies; this mag is always a winner. I recently re-subscribed. Thanks.
