      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Mission College (Founded 1883) is afire with activities during its homecoming weekend in School Daze. Activists, frat boys, sorority sisters, and outcasts are involved in parties, football games, dances, protests, and demonstrations. Giving us a look at the diverse student body of a small Black college, Lee

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is nicely rendered overall. Images are generally on the soft side, but are nicely detailed. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, fully saturated hues, and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are quite good, but the darker scenes appear a little plugged-up and wanting in definition. Minor edge enhancement and pixelization are rarely noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #66 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I sell electronics, and I need to know what's new and more importantly what's the best that my customers can buy and why. Product reviews are always informative, and I am better able to stay on top of the market.
