      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After dropping his broken down car off at a nearly-deserted town

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD appears to be the same transfer as the previously issued DVD. The picture is stylized with a gritty appearance, and is revealing of film grain throughout. Overall, images are sharp, with fine details. Definition is nicely rendered throughout. Colors are rich and bold, with vivid hues and deep blacks, though fleshtones can seem a bit reddish at times. Edge enhancement and pixelization are noticed, but are not terribly obtrusive. Minor aliasing problems are apparent on occasion. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #92 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only home theatre magazine that puts the reader first. All magazines must cater to advertisers to stay in business, but at WSR you never feel that this article or this review was generated because advertising needed a little boost right now. WSR also provides the depth that I like in its reporting and analysis. I still have every copy that I purchased and that's testament to my feeling of the statue of coverage of equipment and movies for the home movie enthusiast. The series on building the Holosonic Home Theatre was very thorough, and I’m currently using it as I build a new home with a theatre room that will closely resemble the one at your editorial facilities. Some of us do truly appreciate your dedication to doing it right. Thanks for producing an excellent magazine.
