      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After getting on a train and realizing that he had no money, Charles Schine (Owen) accepted stranger Lucinda Harris' (Aniston) offer to pay for his ticket. Surprised that such a woman could be attracted to him, the very-married Charles found himself unable to get the also-married woman off his mind. And what began as infatuation completely "Derailed" Charles and propelled his life into a collision course with destiny. Based on the novel by James Siegel. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits image quality that is quite satisfying overall. Colors are well balanced and nicely saturated with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and generally deep blacks. The picture is sharp and nicely detailed, with satisfying contrast and shadow delineation. Occasionally, the picture can have a slightly hazy or veiled appearance. There is no bother some edge enhancement, and pixelization is generally minimal. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With well-mixed music and an adequately spacious field for effects, the Dolby

    Reason #54 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love WSR because I always seem to find out information on new technology or new products in your magazine first. Sometimes I find out as much as two issues in front of other publications. I also like the fact that you are not scared of technical articles, such as the video calibration article and the Digital Video Essential article, which goes into much depth and does not just skim the surface like many other publications seem to do. I like the articles, and I always skim forward to the end of the mag to read the new DVDs scheduled for release. I enjoy the mag very much! Keep it coming!
