      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In Blades Of Glory, arch rival male figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Ferrell) and Jimmy McElroy (Heder) tie in competition for the Gold Medal and resort to fisticuffs on the winner

    DVD Picture:
    With well-balanced, naturally saturated colors the anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD can look good, but details are not captured and delivered as well as in the best releases. Black levels are slightly milky, but shadow delineation is rendered well. Details in the white fields, like ice and snow, can be lost though, often looking like flat fields with no dimensionality. Pixilation and edge enhancement can also be noticed at times. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #35 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    While on vacation at my uncle's house, I was introduced to WSR. My instinct told me it was just another A/V magazine. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down, and I knew this was a keeper. The number one question I receive at work is which is the best sounding movie. With the help of your movie reviews, I now have people calling my cell just to find out which new release sounds the best. Your reviews are always on target! Your product reviews have increased my knowledge beyond expectations. I know that when someone asks me about a new product on the market, all I have to do is wait for my next issue to show up. Your philosophy on sound systems has totally changed the way I go about selling and setting up surround sound systems in my customer’s houses. Thanks to WSR I've been able to increase my sales, knowledge, and gain customer satisfaction. In my pursuit for sound perfection WSR is one of my valued assets.
