    Story Synopsis:
    Do you believe in

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture that is easy on the eyes. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images appear sharp and detailed with pleasing background definition. Edge enhancement is the biggest problem with this DVD, though it is not always present. A slight problem was noticed in the end credits where the picture breaks up into large blocky pixels, but otherwise the picture is satisfying. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #51 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that your magazine has a nice balance of high-end and mid-range audio equipment. I've purchased some equipment after reading some of your reviews and found that they work just like the way you said. I no longer need any more equipment to purchase, but I've taken a two-year subscription because of your DVD reviews, which I find top notch. I find the picture and sound quality reviews important to me. I also read the equipment reviews, which I enjoy because you never know when a piece of equipment will need to be replaced. Keep up the good work.
