      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Maurice (O

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD can occasionally have a flat, smeared look, but is generally well defined. Fleshtones are mostly natural, blacks are fairly black, and shadow delineation is good. Edge enhancement, while not overly intrusive, can be noticed at times. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #27 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The New EQ section provides the latest news. I like the unbiased reviews that help me buy or not buy a particular product. Your magazine also informs us on what ‘s new in products and technology. Sometimes I delay my buying to get absolutely the latest and the best.
