      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Marking Martin Scorsese

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD is often very dark and must be viewed in a completely blackened room for optimal visual information. The picture has a slightly smeared appearance at times, but other times details and textures are nicely rendered. The color palette exhibits minor dated fidelity, with brownish fleshtones and deep and solid, but undefined blacks. The source element is relatively clean, with only minor blemishes. Pixelization is noticed, but bothersome edge enhancement is not a problem with this title. Sometimes the shaky camera-work can be dizzying. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The picture may have been remastered, but the same cannot be said of this Dolby

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
