      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a warm, appealing quality. Hues are richly saturated, with natural fleshtones, vivid hues, and deep blacks. At times, hues border oversaturation. The picture is sharp and detailed, with pleasing contrast and shadow delineation. Pixelization and edge enhancement can be bothersome. Minor distractions which may be attributed to noise reduction are also noticed. Otherwise, image quality should satisfy. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #20 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am very interested in new inventions and expanding technology in products today. Also, I like to be able to look at the products and dream about owning some of them someday. I am a poor college student, so even though I can't always afford new things, I like to look and know about what's new out there.
