      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Three brothers who have not spoken to one another in over a year come together on The Darjeeling Limited, a train that crosses the Indian continent, in an attempt to rediscover their familial bonds. The spiritual journey, which is meant to heal the Whitman brothers (Wilson, Brody, Schwartzman) after their father's death, derails when unexpected twists involving over-the-counter pain medications, strong Indian cough syrup, and a poisonous cobra leave them stranded beside the train tracks, miles from anywhere. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The stylized, anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD features a hazy-looking picture, seemingly covered by a brownish haze. Fleshtones look orange with little distinction between each person

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
