      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    From the creators of TV

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the horrible-looking previously released DVD (not anamorphic and scored a very generous 3.5), this new anamorphically enhanced DVD looks much better. Viewed alone, colors are rich, nicely saturated, and well balanced. The picture can look a bit soft at times, though details are adequate. Thankfully, edge enhancement is not the problem it was on the previous DVD, although there is some pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The matrix Dolby

    Reason #47 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Perry and Gary are the biggest reasons that I read WIDESCREEN REVIEW! Perry’s expertise goes way back to the movie sound page days. He has always given honest and straightforward information on home theatre. Gary goes way back to the days of stereo and quad and his knowledge and way of writing are as top notch as you will ever find!
