      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    George Newman (Yankovic) is a

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture with colors that border oversaturation. Fleshtones often appear reddish, and blacks are deep and undefined. Images are generally sharp and detailed, with good contrast. Pixelization can be bothersome at times, but edge enhancement is not a problem. The source element is revealing of some dirt and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges) Also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed) on the disc

    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.
