      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novel Our Sunshine by Robert Drewe, Gregor Jordan

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture is often stylized with a cold, desaturated appearance. Still, other times the color palette is nicely saturated with rich greens, bold blues, natural fleshtones, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures and satisfying clarity. The cinematography is often intriguing and engulfing, with some creatively captured images. Contrast and shadow delineation are well balanced. Edge enhancement and pixelization are limited, for a picture that is solid and nicely rendered overall. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The DTS

    Reason #103 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    It sat on the nightstand while my husband was deployed. It was “his” magazine. I had my own cooking, home decorating type magazines to peruse. However, one night I reached for Widescreen Review. It was love at first read. I learned so much about new technology and products. I enjoyed the articles and appreciated the reviews. My husband returned home from his military commitment in early July. We now share the magazine, and sometimes we even fight over it.
