      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After getting on a train and realizing that he had no money, Charles Schine (Owen) accepted stranger Lucinda Harris' (Aniston) offer to pay for his ticket. Surprised that such a woman could be attracted to him, the very-married Charles found himself unable to get the also-married woman off his mind. And what began as infatuation completely "Derailed" Charles and propelled his life into a collision course with destiny. Based on the novel by James Siegel. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits image quality that is quite satisfying overall. Colors are well balanced and nicely saturated with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and generally deep blacks. The picture is sharp and nicely detailed, with satisfying contrast and shadow delineation. Occasionally, the picture can have a slightly hazy or veiled appearance. There is no bother some edge enhancement, and pixelization is generally minimal. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With well-mixed music and an adequately spacious field for effects, the Dolby

    Reason #52 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The DVD reviews are very informative. I especially like the detailed specification information available for both the DVD and the theatrical release of movies. The recent news features are often quite interesting to an amateur audiophile like myself.
