      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a satisfying picture, with images that are nicely detailed, if not a little bit soft. Colors appear to be just shy of full saturation, but are otherwise well balanced with nicely rendered fleshtones. Contrast seems a bit low, but shadow delineation is satisfactory. There is some pixelization noticed, but edge enhancement is generally not a problem. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #73 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I like the movie reviews, and I like the equipment tests. I enjoy the interviews with manufacturers. I also feel that you are a good source for what is coming out next, trends etc. I think you dig a little deeper in your tests of equipment. Sometimes I have to read between the lines, and I know why you don't slam some company's gear. You have more interesting reading.
