      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Looking for something new in his life, Peter Rooker (Thomas) joins a small community theater company. With no experience and little talent, director Edwina (Higgens) sees something special in Peter and offers him the title role in Cyrano de Bergerac. He finds new enthusiasm for life working with Michael (Corbett) and Grace (Smart), who play Christian and Roxanne in the play. But playing a character that is Bigger Than The Sky is going to be difficult for a guy with no "panash." (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    With richly saturated colors that are nicely balanced, the anamorphically enhanced DVD picture exhibits generally pleasing quality. Sharpness is adequate, but fine details are often lacking. The picture can have a smeared appearance. The darker scenes do deliver capable shadow delineation when viewed in a completely blackened room. Edge enhancement is capable of distracting finicky viewers, and there is some pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #35 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    While on vacation at my uncle's house, I was introduced to WSR. My instinct told me it was just another A/V magazine. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down, and I knew this was a keeper. The number one question I receive at work is which is the best sounding movie. With the help of your movie reviews, I now have people calling my cell just to find out which new release sounds the best. Your reviews are always on target! Your product reviews have increased my knowledge beyond expectations. I know that when someone asks me about a new product on the market, all I have to do is wait for my next issue to show up. Your philosophy on sound systems has totally changed the way I go about selling and setting up surround sound systems in my customer’s houses. Thanks to WSR I've been able to increase my sales, knowledge, and gain customer satisfaction. In my pursuit for sound perfection WSR is one of my valued assets.
