    Saddle up your horses and join sibling duo, Luke (Apollonio) and Lucy (Dolandis) as they unravel the mysterious shrinking of the world's population in Luke And Lucy: The Texas Rangers (Suske en Wiske: De Texas rakkers). With the help of their family and friends, these unlikely heroes ride off to the Wild West on an adventure of a lifetime to save the world. (Tricia Spears)

    Special features include an exclusive interview with Billy Ray Cyrus (SD 07:11), two music videos: "The Land Of Milk And Honey" (HD 02:18) and "Yellow Rose" (HD 03:31), the trailer, and up-front previews.

    The 1.90:1 1080p AVC picture is superb, with an animated saturated appearance that is very colorful, with rich and warm hues, Animated fleshtones exhibit a rosy cheek naturalness. The western texture treatment also is warmly vivid. Resolution is excellent, with detailed textures and defined edges, for an impressive sharp and clear look. Black levels are deep and solid. This is a wonderfully colorful and dimensional animated visual experience that is sure to mesmerize. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1 soundtrack is nicely produced with a terrifically wide and deep musical soundstage that extends to the surrounds, with an aggressive enveloping presence. Sound effects and Foley are well executed, Deep bass sounds natural and not overblown, providing a solid low-frequency foundation. At times the .1 LFE channel is dramatically engaged but overall is reserved, Dialogue is, of course, ADR, and wanting in spatial integration, The dialogue is quite forward and sounds "produced." Overall, this is a satisfying soundtrack that is complementary to the storytelling. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #51 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that your magazine has a nice balance of high-end and mid-range audio equipment. I've purchased some equipment after reading some of your reviews and found that they work just like the way you said. I no longer need any more equipment to purchase, but I've taken a two-year subscription because of your DVD reviews, which I find top notch. I find the picture and sound quality reviews important to me. I also read the equipment reviews, which I enjoy because you never know when a piece of equipment will need to be replaced. Keep up the good work.
