      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Mary Reilly is based on the novel by Valerie Martin and offers a twist to the classic story of

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits pleasing quality, with images that are sharp and detailed, though some scenes exhibit a soft focus. Edge enhancement can be a bit of a distraction.

The picture is a nice improvement over the previously released LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 22. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
