      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    If you

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits well-balanced contrast and well-captured details. The color scheme is warm, with rich reds and browns, and deep blacks. While this color scheme does not look natural, it does match the storytelling well. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #2 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that WSR has provided me with information that has helped me understand an industry I knew very little about. I have used your reviews on equipment and DVDs to make purchasing decisions. I usually feel that I know more than the sales people at most electronic stores. I really do love WSR!
