      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    This coming-of-age drama follows three life-long friends in 1980

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.36:1 DVD generally looks soft, with little in the way of fine details. Contrast is generally nicely rendered but colors are generally muted and the color palette is limited. Fleshtones can look pasty and undefined. Black levels are fairly deep, but not purely black.

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
