      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A genuine bedtime story that he told his kids, Lady In The Water is M. Night Shyamalan

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture shows good color fidelity, but blacks are often murky. Fleshtones look natural, and details are adequately well resolved. Edge enhancement, while noticeable, is not distracting. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #13 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the DVD reviews, the equipment reviews, and the informative articles in each issue. It is the only home theatre magazine that I subscribe to, and I impatiently wait for the delivery of each issue.
