      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    You

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture in all aspects of image quality. The picture is sharp and finely detailed, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. The richly saturated, nicely balanced color scheme exhibits accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. There is virtually no edge enhancement, though when it is noticed, it is generally not distracting. Overall, the picture is easy-on-the-eyes and should surely please. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation. The combination helps keep the inexperienced and experts alike informed, up-to-date, and market aware. Without Widescreen Review, I'd be just another large electronics store item purchasing sheep. Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
