      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Did Hannibal leave you hungry? Bloated by seeing Silence Of The Lambs a few too many times? Why not try Manhunter, the first film in a series of deliciously gruesome tales about

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 theatrical version exhibits generally pleasing image quality. While the overall appearance is slightly soft and hazy, images are generally solid, and detail is nicely rendered at times. Color fidelity is well balanced, though some smearing is evident. Fleshtnes are generally accurate, and blacks exhibit satisfactory depth. Edge enhancement is obtrusive throughout. Fine details shimmer on occasion. The director

    Reason #48 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    In addition to Widescreen Review, I subscribe to several audio/video publications, such as Sound And Vision, Stereophile, Stereophile Guide To Home Theater, Audio Video Interiors, and peruse through the myriad of British audio video publications when I go to Borders, Barnes & Nobles, or Tower Records. I must acknowledge that Widescreen Review is one of the better ones because it is more like a trade publication than a magazine full of advertisements. Moreover, Widescreen Review was one of the first publications to delve into DVI and more importantly, HMDI, which I deem important because it can make a lot of the current products out there obsolete. Put simply, Widescreen Review is The New York Times of audio/video publication. In other words, if you want real news, you read The New York Times. To stay on top of what’s happening in the audio/video industry, you read Widescreen Review. Enough said.
