      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Following her critically acclaimed debut "Clockwatchers," Jill Sprecher assembled an ensemble cast for "Thirteen Conversations" About One Thing. The main characters are either down-and-out or merely existing in their bleak lives, as the

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture with warm hues that are nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are generally sharp and detailed, with satisfying definition and clarity. However, some scenes appear quite soft or somewhat smeared. Sill, contrast and shadow delineation appear well balanced. There are few distractions in the way of pixelization and edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
