      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Amores Perros" ("Love

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a raw, unpolished picture that visually supports the subject matter. Images are highly contrasted, but sharp and nicely detailed. The handheld camerawork gives an in-your-face shot-on-video feel, but can be a bit dizzying at times. Colors are naturally balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. While edge enhancement is generally not a problem, there is quite a bit of pixelization that can be distracting at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #97 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    My favorites are the articles that discuss cutting edge technologies. It keeps me up to date. I also find some of the product and DVD reviews helpful. I'm glad there are others that passionately care about delivering a theatrical experience in the home.
