      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Bruce Lee plays the part of both director and star in "The Way Of The Dragon," the humorous kung-fu action flick of the series. Sure to bring a little comic relief from all the kicking and fighting, this one is entertaining. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    As with the other DVDs in this collection, the 2.32:1 picture looks dated. Colors are

    Soundtrack:
    While some of the effects are well recorded and reproduced (suggesting they are not original elements), the Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround soundtracks can be difficult to listen to. Heavy amounts of background noise dominate the soundfield, and the difficult to hear dialogue does not make things much better. The LFE channel is not used very effectively, making the low end of the frequency spectrum seem underdeveloped. The DTS track really only increases the overall level and accentuates the inherent distortion. While the soundtrack is difficult to listen to, it is still better than most of the other DVDs in this collection. (Danny Richelieu)

    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.
