WSR Narrative Review

Special Notes:
Also available in the

Story Synopsis:
Leonard Zelig

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is designed to resemble a documentary, with rough black and white images that appear to be vintage stock footage, with major artifacts and print scratches. The color scenes are also quite rough in appearance, with rich, undefined colors that appear

Soundtrack:
The Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack is big fat mono. When Pro Logic-decoded, the audio is properly placed in the center channel. The audio has a documentary style and feel, and is essentially undistinguished with the inherent limitations of the original soundtrack production. (Perry Sun)

Reason #5 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

Widescreen Review is a comprehensive collection of articles that help me shape my Home Theatre Experience. The new equipment section is a great resource when planning for new component additions. The equipment reviews also help to identify equipment attributes that may serve well in my environment. As a newcomer to the field of home theatre, Widescreen Review has helped me to understand some of the terminology, and to begin building my home theatre repertoire. In this area, it is helpful to review the reference systems descriptions, which also give ideas on how to set up my room. The DVD and D-VHS release schedule are also useful. All in all, Widescreen Review is a very easy-to-read magazine with great editorial content and a fantastic artistic layout, including great advertisement pages, which in the end helps me gain control of my Home Theatre Experience!
