      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After Sean Boswell (Black) is busted yet again for illegal street racing, The Fast And The Furious young man is shipped off to Tokyo to live with his father (Goodman). Being told to behave himself, go to school, and stay away from cars, he soon connects with another foreigner Twinkie (Bow Wow), who loves cars almost as much as Sean does. And it isn

    DVD Picture:
    The very clean anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture looks very good. With nicely saturated colors and accurate flesh tones, the images look natural and inviting. While shadow delineation is good, the black levels are not as deep as I would have liked, which takes away from the depth in the image. Minor edge enhancement can be a slight distraction, but pixilation is not a problem. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #100 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I primarily read WSR for unbiased information concerning the future of HD DVD. Articles are written in such a way that the average consumer can understand the technology and benefits of HD DVD. It's nice to be able to read articles from purist videophiles/audiophiles who clearly state their opinion on technologies/products with clear, understandable supporting information. When I read WSR, I have no doubt that the information within is complete and accurate. It's a publication I can TRUST!
