      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Crawford MacKenzie (Ferguson) is the best hairstylist in Scotland, so it came as no surprise when he received an invitation to the International Platinum Scissors Style-Off competition in Los Angeles. Nor was it any wonder that BBC documentarian Martin Samuels (Langham) would come along to film Crawford

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a generally pleasing picture, with images that are sharp and detailed throughout. Minute details into backgrounds are wanting, as the picture has a slightly "pasty" appearance. Colors are nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are well rendered, though backlighting can sometimes create a hazy appearance in the foreground. While pixelization is apparent, overall, the picture is quite pleasing.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
