      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Jane Austen

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits a warm, nicely saturated color palette with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, although slightly soft at times. Some of the darker scenes can seem a bit murky. Overall, the picture has a quality that can be described as easy-on-the-eyes. Distractions, like pixelization and edge enhancement, are rare. Quite delightful, indeed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #14 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Well, I spent most of my young years in the military (U.S. Ranger). My father really got me going in home theatre gear. There’s nothing like getting a good movie on DVD, turning on my HDTV, my Sony a/v receiver, and sitting down for good quality entertainment. I still enjoy the articles and reviews you give me. Please keep doing a great job. I look forward to the next issue.
