      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course" is a cheeky journey with Steve

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a generally satisfying picture, but one that stylistically varies to differentiate the "Crocodile Hunter" show-within-the-movie from "Collision Course." That said, film grain inherent in the source element is also variable (appearing more amplified in the 1.85:1-framed windowboxed/pillarboxed show segments). Colors are consistently pleasing throughout, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Edge enhancement is definitely a problem with this title, and pixelization is often noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
