      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When long-lost Uncle Fester returns from a 25-year stay in the Bermuda Triangle,

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD, viewed in component video, exhibits a sharp and detailed picture that is appropriately dark, but presented with superb contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are nicely balanced with rich hues and deep, pure blacks. There are occasional instances of edge enhancement and minor artifacts, but there are no blatant distractions for a picture that will surely please throughout.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
