      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Historically accurate, visually invigorating, emotional and compelling, Glory is an epic masterpiece in which Denzel Washington won an Oscar

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD looks virtually identical to the previously released DVD reviewed in Issue 29. The color scheme is quite natural, with accurate fleshtones, rich and warm colors, and deep blacks. Images are sharp, with nicely rendered fine detail, though some scenes are a bit soft. There is a hint of edge enhancement noticed at times, and occasional details shimmer slightly. Still, the picture is quite solid, with minimal film grain and artifacts.

    Soundtrack:
    The newly-encoded Dolby

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
