      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Almost Famous: Untitled

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 Untitled DVD exhibits a gorgeous picture, and when comparing the same scenes to Almost Famous (which is a supplement in this two-disc set and was previously reviewed in Issue 48), image quality appears to be the same. There is some minor edge enhancement, but otherwise, the picture is clean, solid, and nicely rendered throughout. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    There are two Dolby

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation. The combination helps keep the inexperienced and experts alike informed, up-to-date, and market aware. Without Widescreen Review, I'd be just another large electronics store item purchasing sheep. Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
