      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The movie that introduced a new power-couple and forced the celebrity-loving, tabloid-consuming public to take sides between Mr. and Mrs. Pitt.... Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt star as Jane and John Smith, a couple seeking the help of a therapist to achieve some more excitement in their marriage. But what their marriage lacks in excitement is made up in their separate secret lives as assassins. But when Mr. And Mrs. Smith cross paths as they attempt to take out the same target, their lives take an even more dramatic

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture looks a bit soft at times, although details can be nicely rendered. Colors are well-balanced throughout, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are also nicely balanced. There are some signs of minor edge halos that are capable of distracting finicky viewers. Pixel breakup is also occasionally noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Both the Dolby

    Reason #33 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because there is no other magazine on the market that will teach me everything about home theatre gear. I will feel more confident speaking to a salesman when the time comes to upgrade my system. Your knowledge and expertise in WSR have made me a better customer and a joyful home theatre enthusiast. Thank you all at WSR for a job well done, and continue to teach the way you have since the beginning.
