      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In 1972, 10 years after a group of kids had to retrieve their baseball from the backyard of a vicious beast, another batch of boys head to The Sandlot 2 play some baseball. When a trio of girls prove that they can play the game, too, they convince the guys to let them join the team. Soon enough, there's a case of deja vu in the air when the kids find themselves facing a set of ferocious fangs. Based upon characters created by David Mickey Evans and Robert Gunter. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits nicely balanced colors, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Images are generally sharp and detailed throughout, with nicely rendered textures, though sometimes the image appears slightly soft. Contrast and shadow delineation are excellent. Some minor pixelization is evident, but no bothersome edge halos. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #92 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only home theatre magazine that puts the reader first. All magazines must cater to advertisers to stay in business, but at WSR you never feel that this article or this review was generated because advertising needed a little boost right now. WSR also provides the depth that I like in its reporting and analysis. I still have every copy that I purchased and that's testament to my feeling of the statue of coverage of equipment and movies for the home movie enthusiast. The series on building the Holosonic Home Theatre was very thorough, and I’m currently using it as I build a new home with a theatre room that will closely resemble the one at your editorial facilities. Some of us do truly appreciate your dedication to doing it right. Thanks for producing an excellent magazine.
