      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in a separate pan-and-scan edition.

    Story Synopsis:
    Hollywood high-rollers star in

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits pleasing quality, with sharp and nicely detailed images. Imagery includes some stylization, and colors are rich and warm, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Some scenes are completely soaked with color, such as rich reds and oranges, which slightly affect fleshtone fidelity. Contrast and shadow delineation are well balanced. George Clooney

      WSR DVD-ROM Review
    DVD-ROM Enhancements Rating:
    Mediocre

    DVD-ROM Review:
    When the InterActual Player 2 software loads up, you will see the typical skimping of work, as the DVD-ROM main menu is exchanged with the DVD-Video menu. All that is available for us ROM users is on the bottom of the screen in the WB toolbar. Besides the usual, boring Web links, there is one extra feature that is worth noting. This feature, titled Are You In Or Out, is a fun series of games designed around different scenes from the movie. To play the games, you must do a series of tasks: anything from winning five grand in blackjack to flipping on metal cabinets to set explosives. Each of the six stages are fun in their own right, but do get old fairly quickly. Some of the tasks actually get pretty demanding, like the third, where you have to randomly select numbers to form a door code. Be careful though, you only get eight trys for 10000 different combinations. I was extremely disappointed to not find more features available for us DVD-ROM users, but was happy with what we received. The games were entertaining, and held my attention until I completed them all, but is not enough to hold Ocean's Eleven with the other powerhouse DVD-ROM titles. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
