So That’s Where They Went!
Dear Gary: Really enjoyed the The Ultimate Widescreen Review DVD Movie Guide with one exception: the section on "Skeletons In The Closet" on page 520. To call these movies "not very good" seems strange. A large number are in fact Academy Award® winners.

To quote Foghorn Leghorn..."It was a joke, son!" (Come to find out Schuyler was joking with us as well). Let me quote from my first line in "Skeletons In The Closet," "And, frankly, some of these movies..."SOME, some of them. Our film review staff of four works long hours to review as many movies as possible, but with the tremendous number of widescreen DVDs being produced, we slowly began to fall behind and are trying to catch up. The decision to add the list of movie titles to The Ultimate Widescreen Review DVD Movie Guide was made at around 2am, two days before the deadline. I offered to write the introduction to the list, so along with my partner-in-crime, Suzanne Hodges—and her springer spaniel Phoebe who was serving as our guard dog at the late hour—I tapped out a rather flippant explanation. People tend to get a bit silly when working long hours on a project which resulted in our humorous (we hoped) introduction. It was our attempt to make light of a situation out of our control (so many movies, too little time). No offense to any of the films on the list, some of our favorites are on it as well. Now that our work on the special edition is behind us, we have more time to play catch up, so look for more and more of the "Skeletons" movies reviewed in the magazine and on the Web. By the way, there are quite a few of them in this issue.
