      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Bartleby and Loki (Affleck and Damon) are two down-to-earth angels looking for a way back into heaven. So they are thrilled at the discovery of a loophole in Catholic Dogma that would award them a clean slate, if...they can make it to New Jersey and through the rededicated archway of St. Marks Church

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.30:1 picture appears to be the same pleasing transfer as the previously released DVD. Images are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered definition. Colors are rich and fully saturated, with balanced fleshtones and deep blacks. Clarity is lacking in some areas, with the picture appearing somewhat

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
