      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Put your hands together for this "Intimate" and soulful R&B performance by "Howard Hewett." Shot at the softly-lit Club/Fais Do Do on November 5. 2004, the room steams up as Hewett sings his Billboard hits "Stay," "I'm For Real," and "Show Me." His velvety voice sounds as smooth as ever, as Hewett proves he can still seduce an audience with timeless love songs and hits from the past few decades. This DVD is a must-have "For The Lover In You." (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced concert performance is presented with pleasing image quality. The 1.78:1 picture is quite sharp, with satisfying details, though

    Soundtrack:
    Intimate is a good way to describe this Dolby

    Reason #36 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s simply the best A/V magazine available. No other magazine includes such a comprehensive discussion of developments and potential developments in the field, as well as a detailed analysis of systems and products available. Widescreen Review provides thorough and easy-to-follow “how to” sections in building and setting up home theatre and is the definitive authority on quality DVDs. No other magazine can beat all that. Kudos to Widescreen Review! I will never stop my subscription.
