      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Set in the completely fictional city of San Franclisco (to ensure that this is a completely fictional story so as not to offend lawyers),

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a slightly soft picture though detail is generally satisfying. Many scenes, including close-ups, appear somewhat smeared. Colors are bright and well balanced, with natural fleshtones and generally deep blacks. Details are noticed shimmering at times, and pixelization is also noticed. Edge enhancement can also be a distraction. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #30 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because of the honest reviews on home theatre components and the great one-on-one interviews. I subscribe to several home theatre magazines, but hands down Widescreen Review is always a must-read every month, and for that I thank you.
