      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Tommy (Scott) arrives at his apartment to find that his ex-girlfriend Jean (Davis) has moved back in with him. Not at all thrilled with the situation, he is nonetheless not happy when, after a big fight, he comes back home to discover that she's dead. Devising a plan to get rid of the clues, Tommy discusses the situation with his friend Noel (Healy), but things go from bad to worse when the police uncover not one but two "Dead Bodies," and Tommy is their main suspect. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits generally poor DV-originated imagery. Colors are washed-out and bright, with little natural saturation or delineation. Images are relatively sharp, but finer details and definition is lacking. Compression is better than average. Sometimes edge halos and motion artifacts are noticed. Most of what is undesirable about the picture is related to the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #63 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am an older guy who had not bought any A/V equipment for the last 14 years. I was really out of the loop as to what was happening. Did not even own a DVD player until now. This summer, my wife and I decided to build a small home theatre in our basement. Widescreen Review has been an invaluable research partner. The room was completed in mid September and now Widescreen Review can really show its stuff. The extensive DVD reviews are the final word for us when picking movies to watch. The news and equipment reviews keep us current, as we start down the never-ending path of upgrade-itis. Thanks for a great magazine.
