      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Columbia TriStar

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that can look generally sharp, with nicely rendered detail, though there are some softly rendered scenes. Colors are nicely balanced with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Shadow delineation offers satisfying depth and visual information in the darker and more suspenseful scenes. There are a few instances in which film grain or flecks of dirt inherent in the source element are revealed. Minor pixelization is noticed, and, occasionally, edge enhancement can be a problem. (Suzanne Hodges) A modified 1.33:1 version is also included (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
