      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Former gangster-turned-filmmaker Chili Palmer (Travolta) is looking for a new niche in the music industry when his buddy Tommy Athens (James Woods) is gunned down by Russian gangsters. Taking over Athens

    DVD Picture:
    Color fidelity is amazingly rich and warm in this anamorphically enhanced DVD (framed at 2.40:1). Images are sharp and detailed. Shadow delineation is fantasic, as depicted in The Viper Room sequence, which reveals the subtle difference between Chili

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
