      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Ned (Pace) has a gift

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits good shadow delineation, with details in the darkest scenes easily visible. Black levels are somewhat elevated, but they are consistently so, and the raised levels are not much of a distraction. Compression artifacts can be distracting at times, but generally the image is clean. Colors are very bright with deep saturation, but contrast is balanced well. Fleshtones are too red with unnaturally hot highlights, and excessive noise can be recognized in the darker scenes. Edge enhancement is minor, though. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
