      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    On a rainy March 26, the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland Oregon, is treated to some comic relief and political humor by Bill Maher. Morals and values, politics, religion, and Janet Jackson's breast force Maher to throw his hands up in the air and proclaim "I'm Swiss." (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is perfectly suitable for the live performance. Colors are richly saturated with nice delineation throughout, although much of the color palette is slightly ruddy. Shots of Maher onstage and shots of the audience vary in sharpness and clarity. Pixelization is noticed, but there is no obtrusive edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #26 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before WSR, there was a 4:3 picture tube. After WSR, there is a nice 65 inch widescreen rear projection TV. However, it's only a beginning, because WSR started a dream. The reality looks crisper and clearer now, even the sound is more precise and enveloping. Widescreen Review: P5/S5, one's critic’s composite: 5. Thank you, WSR. Keep up the excellent work!
