      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It's hard enough to believe that there was a part two to the original movie but here we go again; this time it's "Wild Things 3" that's filled with the same amount of lies, double-crossing, oh, and sex, as the other two films. Combining the previous storylines of both rape and inheritance, the subject in this installment is diamonds. After all, they do say that they're a girl's best friend! (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD picture exhibits a generally satisfying color pallette that is rich and warm with sunkissed fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. At times, the picture can have a reddish appearance, especially noticed with fleshtones. The picture is sharp and detailed, with adequate textures and definition, though some smearing can be evident. Minor pixelization is noticed at times, but edge enhancement is not much of a problem with this title. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With an ever present low level buzz and unnatural sounding dialogue, the Dolby

    Reason #112 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The first thing that grabbed my interest was the DVD reviews. But after I purchased that first issue and read the reviews, I got hooked on all of the other information contained in each issue. I had adopted the DVD format fairly early on, and I have had a strong preference for widescreen, dating back to my VHS days. The technical information is a godsend. I feel that I have saved so much money by avoiding inferior quality DVDs. I was very ignorant about the technology out there for home theatre and was not aware of the resources I had that were really going to waste. (5.1 in my movie collection) I read and read and read and finally updated my antiquated system. It is such a wonderful joy to turn down the lights, turn up the sound, and enjoy movies more than I ever could at a theatre. I knew it was worth it even more when my wife said, “Cool” as we watched The Others with true surround sound. Widescreen Review has actually helped improve my quality of life!
