      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely colorful picture, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Images are generally sharp and detailed, with at times a slightly soft appearance. Contrast appears to be nicely rendered, but visual information tends to get lost in the darker scenes. There are few distractions in the way of pixelization and edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #109 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I think that the most important aspect of a technical publication is to be strict with the choice of content and contributing Editors. I feel well-informed by WSR, and the reading of my monthly issue helps me to appreciate the home theatre experience, especially with DVD reviews and the new equipment section. Widescreen Review is for everyone interested in a good home theatre movie experience!
