      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the book by Peter Biskind, "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How The Sex-Drugs-And-Rock

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 documentary picture looks really great. Combining interviews with filmmakers, behind-the-scenes archival footage, film clips, photographs, and creative transitions, the picture is comprised of various sources. The unique use of movie posters and graphics really add visual appeal to the subject. Most of the interviews are conducted before a jet-black background. Colors are nicely saturated and completely solid. This is one of the most visually appealing documentaries and it complements the subject matter very well. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The default Dolby

    Reason #51 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that your magazine has a nice balance of high-end and mid-range audio equipment. I've purchased some equipment after reading some of your reviews and found that they work just like the way you said. I no longer need any more equipment to purchase, but I've taken a two-year subscription because of your DVD reviews, which I find top notch. I find the picture and sound quality reviews important to me. I also read the equipment reviews, which I enjoy because you never know when a piece of equipment will need to be replaced. Keep up the good work.
