      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When Linda Hanson (Bullock) receives the devastating news that her husband Jim (McMahon) has been killed in an auto accident, her perfect world is turned upside down. Inconsolable, Linda is beyond confused when she wakes up the next morning and finds Jim sipping coffee in the family kitchen. As her days become caught between Jim being alive and Jim being dead, Linda decides that she must act quickly before her Premonition of his upcoming death becomes a reality. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture with nicely saturated colors and good resolution. There are scenes, however, that can look overly soft. Fleshtones are rendered well, contrast is solid, and black levels are deep, but the image can still have a flat look at times. Edge enhancement is not overly problematic, and compression artifacts are rarely seen. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #76 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Our family has made a significant investment in a dedicated home theatre. Upon reading nearly every other home theatre publication, I have found that Widescreen Review has consistently provided us accurate reviews, and as such have built a substantial library of movies and equipment, which we consider “Keepers.” I find the equipment reviews, especially the Subwoofer Special Edition, to be right on the money and a must-have. The video equipment reviews (we are currently in the market for a front projector) are educationally based as well as comparatively based, so I learn about equipment in general while I can compare specifications. I thank you for a publication well worth the cover price issue after issue.
