      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Kiss Of The Dragon features martial arts superstar Jet Li as China

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture is quite pleasing, with images that are sharp and nicely detailed. Colors are stylized at times, but are otherwise balanced, with full saturation and deep blacks. There are occasional black-and-white shots that serve as flashbacks. At times, the picture appears slightly smeared or undefined. Edge enhancement is detected, and there is occasional shimmering, but otherwise the picture is clean and solid. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #132 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As an owner of Whole House Audio & Video Inc. (WHAV), I need to stay informed on the latest DVD and DVHS releases and keep an objective opinion on how well they perform. Of all the magazines and periodicals we receive, I constantly find myself reading WIDESCREEN REVIEW over all the others combined. The articles are well-written, thought-out, and accurate. I also find the Editors Couch and the equipment reviews very useful and informative. Thanks for producing a quality magazine without all the BS you find in most other publications.
