      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    On a rainy March 26, the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland Oregon, is treated to some comic relief and political humor by Bill Maher. Morals and values, politics, religion, and Janet Jackson's breast force Maher to throw his hands up in the air and proclaim "I'm Swiss." (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is perfectly suitable for the live performance. Colors are richly saturated with nice delineation throughout, although much of the color palette is slightly ruddy. Shots of Maher onstage and shots of the audience vary in sharpness and clarity. Pixelization is noticed, but there is no obtrusive edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #27 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The New EQ section provides the latest news. I like the unbiased reviews that help me buy or not buy a particular product. Your magazine also informs us on what ‘s new in products and technology. Sometimes I delay my buying to get absolutely the latest and the best.
