      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based upon the novel

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD has pleasing image quality, with sharp and nicely detailed images. Colors are warm and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered throughout. Edge enhancement can be bothersome, and pixelization is also noticed. The source element is revealing of occasional artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #79 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am addicted to home theatre equipment and buying DVDs . I love buying DVDs, then listening to them on my home theatre system. The fix to my addiction is Widescreen Review. It helps to keep me up to date on the latest equipment, as well as the DVD reviews. In my humble opinion, WSR has the best equipment reviews and the most comprehensive DVD reviews anywhere. I look forward to my issue of Widescreen Review every month.
