      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Kingpin" is NBC television

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD (mislabeled on jacket) exhibits a picture with rich, warm colors that can, at times, appear a bit hot; with bold, vivid reds and blues, and deep, solid blacks. The color scheme can be quite stylized to help set the tone of different locations. Images are sharp, with satisfying detail. Contrast and shadow delineation are well balanced. The source element is revealing of plenty of film grain and occasional artifacts. Edge enhancement can be quite a distraction at times, and is capable of distracting those less scrutinizing. Pixelization is occasionally noticed causing minor image breakup. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
