      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Our story opens as Schoolmarm-turned-outlaw, Catherine

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD is quite pleasing, with images that are sharp with nicely rendered detail and definition. Colors are nicely balanced, with fleshtones appearing quite natural, hues occasionally popping with vibrancy and blacks rendered with good depth. Some minor pixelization is noticed, as well as occasional edge enhancement. Overall, the picture is quite pleasing, especially for its age. Artifacts are apparent throughout.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #67 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is by far the most in-depth and comprehensive publication in its genre. Readers of all levels of expertise can increase their knowledge and enhance their enjoyment of the Home Theatre experience. Widescreen Review is one of the few, if not the only publication, that actually affects manufacturer’s decisions in regards to their product lines. I believe one of the reasons DTS decoding is so common in consumer equipment is due to the efforts of Gary Reber and his associates. Additionally, the magazine has heralded the importance of a properly calibrated video monitor. Consumers who are so inclined now have the information needed in order for their equipment, from entry level to state-of-the-art, to be the best that it can be. Add to this the software reviews, articles on emerging technologies, and meticulous equipment reviews, and you have a magazine that sets the standard for others to emulate. This is why I read Widescreen Review.
