      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    While journalism student Sondra Pransky (Johansson) was assisting Sid Splendini (Allen) in a magic trick, she was paid a visit by dead reporter Joe Strombel (McShane). Strombel gives Sondra a big Scoop

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits well-saturated colors and sharp details, although edge enhancement can make a mess of medium and long shots. Fleshtones are slightly too red, and blacks are milky. Shadow delineation is adequate, though, providing some dimensionality to the darker scenes. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #110 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review, because of all the A/V magazines I read, I trust the writers of Widescreen Review to give the most thorough review and honest opinion of any equipment being reviewed. I count on Widescreen Review to keep me informed on any and all new information in the world of home theatre more than any other source. I also base many of my DVD purchases on the review of the picture and sound of a particular DVD. I always look forward to finding Widescreen Review in my mailbox!
