      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Magdalena

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits warm fleshtones, well-balanced colors, and fairly well defined details. Black levels are adequately deep, but relatively poor shadow delineation shrouds details in the darkest scenes. Edge enhancement is noticeable throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

    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.
