      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Little Nicky (Sandler) is the gentle heavy metal-loving son of the Prince of Darkness. After his dad decides not to retire from the business of running Hell, Nicky

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a beautiful picture, with images that are sharp and finely detailed. Clarity and definition are excellent even in the darker scenes, which are supported with superb shadow delineation and contrast. Colors are vibrant, with rich, solid hues, natural fleshtones, and deep, pure blacks. Though occasional shimmering details are noticed (on clothing, for instance), as well as minor edge enhancement, overall the picture is excellent and should surely please.(Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #8 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review summarizes the information I need to make informed decisions about DVD purchases. My DVD library is growing by leaps and bounds, and it's great to have WSR let me know when I may be disappointed with a disc before I buy it. I also like the new DVD release list to let me know what's ahead. On top of that, reading WSR is a great way to keep abreast of new technologies. Sometimes the interviews with those who bring these technologies to market give more insight into the overall demands and future directions of the market.
