      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    If you haven

    DVD Picture:
    While the previously released DVD (reviewed in Issue 34) was not anamorphic, this new 10th Anniversary edition is anamorphically enhanced for widescreen televisions and exhibits the 1.85:1 black-and-white picture with the best quality yet available for home viewing. Sharpness varies from acceptable to somewhat blurry, and details are pretty minimal. Film grain and artifacts are inherent in the 16mm source element. There is some pixelization noticed, but edge enhancement is not a problem. Followers of this classic Kevin Smith comedy will be delighted with the picture quality of Clerks. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #32 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as a way to dream. I think about the day I make it in life and how I will own only top of the line products featured in your magazine. I think about the parties and social functions at my house and how the centerpiece will be my entertainment system. Though at my current economic standing, it will take me years to be able to afford all the products I want without getting into credit debt, I still see no harm in reading about what will be mine.
