      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Yep, this is the movie that started it all! The sun, the surf, the babes and the boys are all here in

    DVD Picture:
    Sourced from a print, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits sometimes distracting artifacts and print scratches, but otherwise colors are vibrant and clarity can be nicely rendered. While fleshtones are occasionally brownish (no, I am not talking about a normal looking tan here), hues are vivid with eye-popping shades of reds and blues. The picture is quite sharp with generally good detail. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered. Some fine film grain is revealed. Overall the picture can be quite pleasing.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #100 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I primarily read WSR for unbiased information concerning the future of HD DVD. Articles are written in such a way that the average consumer can understand the technology and benefits of HD DVD. It's nice to be able to read articles from purist videophiles/audiophiles who clearly state their opinion on technologies/products with clear, understandable supporting information. When I read WSR, I have no doubt that the information within is complete and accurate. It's a publication I can TRUST!
