      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    If you

    DVD Picture:
    The non-anamorphic 1.85:1 DVD appears to be a production done entirely in home video. Images are wanting in sharpness, and lack detail throughout. Colors are blurred, but are otherwise vibrant with undefined blacks. The picture is poorly contrasted, sometimes under saturated, and exhibits poor shadow delineation. Still, those who purchase this DVD are probably not looking for a reference quality picture.

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
