      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    George A. Romero

    DVD Picture:
    This new anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that surpasses the poor quality of the previously released, non-anamorphic DVD (Issue 30). The color scheme exhibits satisfying balance, with accurate fleshtones, bluish

    Soundtrack:
    The remastered Divimax

    Reason #100 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I primarily read WSR for unbiased information concerning the future of HD DVD. Articles are written in such a way that the average consumer can understand the technology and benefits of HD DVD. It's nice to be able to read articles from purist videophiles/audiophiles who clearly state their opinion on technologies/products with clear, understandable supporting information. When I read WSR, I have no doubt that the information within is complete and accurate. It's a publication I can TRUST!
