      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    As William Shakespeare

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD, framed at 2.35:1, picture exhibits images that are generally sharp, but limited in detail and definition. Colors appear somewhat dated, but are otherwise nicely balanced, with generally accurate fleshtones and deep, endless blacks. Edge enhancement can be quite bothersome, especially in higher contrast scenes. Pixelization is also noticed. The source element is revealing of some dirt and film grain, but nothing that is overly perceived or too distracting. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #78 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to stay at the forefront of the home theatre industry, to help me find products to fit my needs, and to read about products that I dream about one day owning.
