      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" is the second feature film from the acclaimed comedy troupe. This time it

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD appears to be the same transfer as the previously released Special Edition DVD, which was, in turn, an improvement over the non-anamorphic edition. Images are generally sharp and nicely detailed at times, while much of the soft appearance is inherent to the source element. While colors can be nicely rendered, the picture seems a bit subdued. Visual information is nicely revealed in the darker scenes, like inside the cast, while the previous version was smeared and totally lacking definition. There is evidence of pixelization, as well as edge enhancement. The source element is revealing of film grain and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #84 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Let me tell you a story about a man named Mike. Overwhelmed by components, can't believe marketing claims. And then one day while surfing on the net, up came a page with an interesting claim... Knowledge that is. Reference material. Widescreen Review. Well, the first thing you know old Mike's signed up. Getting monthly coverage and in-depth reviews. He thought Widescreen Review is what we all should read. So now I'm reading Joe Kane and spouting ISF calibration, that is. Image quality. SMPTE bars.
