      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    If there ever was a movie done in bad taste

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced and windowboxed 1.66:1 DVD picture, shot in 16mm, has a gritty appearance, but images can be generally sharp. Some scenes are extremely soft and undefined. With a slightly dated quality, colors are generally well balanced. The shaky camerawork might make viewers with larger home theatre displays a little queasy. The source element is revealing of an expected amount of film grain and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The remastered 5.1-channel soundtracks in DTS-ES

    Reason #4 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review to get the facts on equipment and industry news. I started reading your magazine as a consumer and found your level of education and technical detail refreshing when compared to the audio/video mass I read before.Now I run my own custom home theatre company and find your mag invaluable in keeping up with the direction this industry is going. I also give a subscription as a gift to each of my customers knowing that they will be further educated and will enjoy their equipment even more.
