      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Remember "The Gong Show," "The Dating Game," "The Newlywed Game"? Surely anyone growing up in the

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD, framed at 2.40:1, exhibits a wild, super-stylized picture that adds a quirky visual twist to the storytelling. Images can be sharp and detailed or soft and slightly fuzzy, with contrast that varies from natural to opposite extremes. The color scheme is almost a character itself, with overtones and stylizations that can almost place you in a specific decade from scene-to-scene. The bright hues can be well balanced or offer bold spot color in a monochromatic, highly contrasted shot. In all, this is a captivating picture that is solid, with only occasional edge enhancement to distract, or minor pixelization to cause the breakup of finer details. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #94 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Hi, I eagerly anticipate and then devour each issue. The articles, letters, and reviews are not the typical cookie-cutter-style that all the other clones publish. The movie reviews are a huge influence on our buying and renting. It is wonderful how thorough you are in breaking them down. I also thoroughly enjoy Terry Paullin's column, as well as the upcoming movies. Keep up the wonderful work. Thanks!
