      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After Charlie Price

    DVD Picture:
    Even through the heavy edge enhancement that can creep its head into scenes throughout the presentation, especially wide landscape shots, the anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture does look good. Fleshtones are accurate, and colors are well saturated. Details in the shadows are good enough to create dimensionality in the picture, and good image detail brings life to the buildings and faces. There is some compression noise in the background of scenes that can become a distraction at times, but the picture is generally good. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    While staging can be good in the Dolby

    Reason #41 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I subscribed to WSR because I finished building my home theatre and no longer need to subscribe to magazines that give ideas on how to build a theatre. Widescreen Review focuses on the films I would like to see and the equipment I would like to upgrade. It is the next step to the home theatre experience.
