      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Hungry for a big juicy burger from your local fast food establishment? Well, before you bite into that mouth-watering piece of heaven, you may want to take a little road trip with Don Henderson (Kinnear), one of the marketing wizards at Mickey

    DVD Picture:
    While colors can be vibrant, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture generally has a faded look. Blacks are more like grays, and shadow delineation is poor. Details often look soft, but there are times when they are well resolved. To add to the problems, edge enhancement is noticeable, which can be a distraction. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
