      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When magician Buddy

    DVD Picture:
    The highly contrasted, anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD can look vibrant and highly detailed, but there are times when it looks rather soft. Colors generally look natural, but fleshtones have an orange hue that removes from its naturalness. Edge enhancement is noticeable but does not become a huge distraction. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
