      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The long awaited tribute that chronicles the life and genius of Andy Kaufman, Man On The Moon eerily stars Jim Carrey who, along with director

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits excellent quality that is very natural. Images are sharp and detailed with superb depth. Colors are rich and nicely balanced with vibrant hues and the deepest blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered, with a natural gradation of visual information in the darker scenes. The improv scenes are nice examples of the film

    Reason #54 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love WSR because I always seem to find out information on new technology or new products in your magazine first. Sometimes I find out as much as two issues in front of other publications. I also like the fact that you are not scared of technical articles, such as the video calibration article and the Digital Video Essential article, which goes into much depth and does not just skim the surface like many other publications seem to do. I like the articles, and I always skim forward to the end of the mag to read the new DVDs scheduled for release. I enjoy the mag very much! Keep it coming!
