      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After folk music icon Irving Steinbloom died, his son Jonathan (Balaban) wanted to pay tribute to his dad by way of a memorial concert performed by the groups that he used to represent. Bringing together such folk singers as The Folksmen, Mitch & Mickey, and The Main Street Singers became quite a challenge for Jonathan as he was determined to do the concert in only two weeks. Presented as a mockumentary, "A Mighty Wind" explores the wacky backgrounds of the folksy people

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that has a documentary feel that gives this

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
