      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD shows decent resolution, although the image is often overly soft.

    Reason #8 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review summarizes the information I need to make informed decisions about DVD purchases. My DVD library is growing by leaps and bounds, and it's great to have WSR let me know when I may be disappointed with a disc before I buy it. I also like the new DVD release list to let me know what's ahead. On top of that, reading WSR is a great way to keep abreast of new technologies. Sometimes the interviews with those who bring these technologies to market give more insight into the overall demands and future directions of the market.
