      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novel by Marc Behm, Eye Of The Beholder stars Ashley Judd as a woman suspected of blackmailing a senior government official. The Eye (McGregor) is the undercover intelligence agent designed to shadow her. What he discovers is a woman far beyone small time blackmailing

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture with sharp and detailed images. Colors are rich and nicely balanced, though the picture has an appropriately dark quality to enhance the suspense. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered. Fine film grain is occasionally revealed. Instances of minor pixelization and edge enhancement are apparent.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #102 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I just recently started a home theatre business called Celestial Audio Video. Widescreen Review plays an important part for many reasons. Not only can I keep up with new trends and new technologies, I can understand better, and I am able to also explain to customers about forth-coming products. The in-depth and detail of your articles are not only appreciated but needed. In short, on a professional level your publication is a must-read every month. On a personal level, I enjoy the DVD reviews, the monthly feedback, and editor's couch. I would also like to see more reviews on DVD concerts. As far as I'm concerned, your magazine is top notch for home theatre, unsurpassed by none and stands in a class by itself. A true reference quality publication.
