      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    What if you did a favor

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture has a warm, natural appearance. Images are sharp and detailed with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. Color fidelity is well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, fully saturated hues, and deep blacks. There is no distracting pixelization. Edge enhancement is rarely a factor, and the picture should surely delight with its solid, pleasing qualities. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The sonic presentation, in Dolby

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
