      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Phil Collins: A Life Less Ordinary" is a look back on the life of this extremely gifted performer. Packed full of interviews with friends, colleagues, family, and Phil himself, it

    DVD Picture:
    As would be expected from a documentary with footage that spans decades, this anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture of varying image quality derived from a variety of formats. Archival footage and photographs pepper the documentary with a nostalgic look back at the performer

    Reason #63 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am an older guy who had not bought any A/V equipment for the last 14 years. I was really out of the loop as to what was happening. Did not even own a DVD player until now. This summer, my wife and I decided to build a small home theatre in our basement. Widescreen Review has been an invaluable research partner. The room was completed in mid September and now Widescreen Review can really show its stuff. The extensive DVD reviews are the final word for us when picking movies to watch. The news and equipment reviews keep us current, as we start down the never-ending path of upgrade-itis. Thanks for a great magazine.
