      WSR DVD-ROM Review
    DVD-ROM Enhancements Rating:
    Mediocre

    DVD-ROM Review:
    To view the DVD-ROM features of this title, you must first load the disc using the Interactual Player 2 software, and then click the button labeled Restricted Files. ` From the Restricted Files section, you can input passwords when given clues. If you get the passwords correct, you can watch clips from interviews with the cast. There are eight interview sessions in all, with passwords for each. The features available are interesting, with a great way of presenting them. It really is too bad more was not included with this title, as it is one of those movies that could have included a lot.

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
