      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Tommy (Scott) arrives at his apartment to find that his ex-girlfriend Jean (Davis) has moved back in with him. Not at all thrilled with the situation, he is nonetheless not happy when, after a big fight, he comes back home to discover that she's dead. Devising a plan to get rid of the clues, Tommy discusses the situation with his friend Noel (Healy), but things go from bad to worse when the police uncover not one but two "Dead Bodies," and Tommy is their main suspect. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits generally poor DV-originated imagery. Colors are washed-out and bright, with little natural saturation or delineation. Images are relatively sharp, but finer details and definition is lacking. Compression is better than average. Sometimes edge halos and motion artifacts are noticed. Most of what is undesirable about the picture is related to the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
