    Special Features
    Nowhere does the Fully Loaded Special Edition DVD mention that all those features on the jacket are found only on full screen side of the disc. The widescreen side only offers an audio commentary track by director Harald Zwart and actors Frankie Muniz and Angie Harmon. In addition to the same commentary track from the widescreen side, the full screen sides includes several featurettes found under different menus, including the five-minute Developing Agent Cody Banks, the seven-minute Production Design and the four-minute Ronica

    Reason #64 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As a newbie to widescreen TVs and all they can be equipped with, I have been overwhelmed. Your magazine brings together a wealth of information for the new guy as well as the old dog. It has helped me pick out what home theatre products are right for me, as well as in my price range. I enjoy learning about these new products and different terms for their capabilities every month.
