      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in a modified 1.33:1 full screen edition.

    Story Synopsis:
    Honey Daniels (Alba) is a hip-hop dancer who dreams of someday making it to the big time. When video director Michael Ellis (Moscow) asks her to audition for his video, she figures she

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.85:1 DVD picture is anamorphically enhanced and exhibits a colorful picture, with lots of vibrant hues that light up the dance clubs, well balanced fleshtones, and deep blacks. The picture is sharp and detailed, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. Picky viewers might notice the occasional and minor edge enhancement, and pixelization is minimal as well. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Music in this 5.1-channel Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
