      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Making it to the big time is all that Freddy (Gurry) dreams about but with having his girlfriend Tanya (Miranda) on bass, Joe (Stiller) on lead guitar, and Lucy (Sadrinna) the druggy on drums, it looks like their Garage Days are here to stay.

    DVD Picture:
    With a stylized color scheme and creative filming choices and visual effects, this anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is quite intriguing. Colors are richly saturated and can appear somewhat oversaturated or hot, popping from the screen in bold hues, nicely balanced fleshtones, and deep blacks.

Some pixel breakup is detected and edge enhancement is noticed in higher contrast scenes. Still, this picture looks very cool. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #10 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read and researched many so called hi-fi mags to find intelligent and well-balanced professional reviews on new home theatre equipment for my new house. Widescreen Review has, in my opinion, provided me with a no-bias approach to help me in building my new dream system. Widescreen Review is my primary resource for the latest news in DVD home theatre gear. And your Web Site is an excellent place, too.
