      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on

    DVD Picture:
    The 1.85:1 DVD is not anamorphic, and is the same unimpressive transfer as the DVD reviewed in Issue 29. Why re-issue a special edition without a new anamorphic transfer?

Images would appear sharp and detailed, had the picture not been plagued by soft haze throughout. Both contrast and shadow delineation are mediocre, with images seeming too contrasted (especially from interiors near bright window light) or lost in the darkness. The appearance of film grain seems a bit excessive, but source element artifacts are not terribly distracting. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #52 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The DVD reviews are very informative. I especially like the detailed specification information available for both the DVD and the theatrical release of movies. The recent news features are often quite interesting to an amateur audiophile like myself.
