      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Have you ever wondered about the Twenty Bucks sitting in your wallet? Where it

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits slightly soft imagery, although textures can be satisfying. Colors are nicely saturated, although fleshtones can appear a bit ruddy. Blacks are quite deep and solid. There is some film grain that creates a gritty texture and minor artifacts noticed in the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
