Still Mine is based on actual events that prove love is the ultimate triumph. Determined to build a more suitable house for his wife Irene (Bujold), whose memory is failing, Craig Morrison (Cromwell) is met with resistance from an overzealous government inspector. Facing a possible jail sentence, and with Irene becoming increasingly ill, Craig races to finish the house in this beautiful story filled with heart and humor. (Gary Reber)

There are no special features.

The 1.85:1 1080p AVC picture is gorgeous throughout and appears to be photographed in digital HD. The imagery is absolutely natural with perfectly balanced and weighted hues. The color palette is warm and rich. Fleshtones are accurately rendered. Contrast is perfectly balanced with natural black levels and revealing shadow delineation. Resolution is impressively detailed throughout, both in foregrounds and backgrounds. Close-ups are finely resolved, to reveal fine lines and pores in facial features, the fineness of hair, threads of cloth, and texture of objects. This is a wonderful, vivid, and warm picture experience that is absolutely reference quality. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio� 5.1-channel soundtrack is quaint and finely resolved, especially with respect to low-level atmospherics, Foley, and sound effects. At times such sonics provide an enveloping sense. While frontal focused, with the emphasis on dialogue, the music score is nicely recorded with a wide and deep soundstage that extends to the surrounds. Deep bass is limited but always natural sounding. Dialogue sounds natural and is effectively integrated spatially. This is a wonderful, quiet soundtrack that will not disappoint. (Gary Reber)

Reason #14 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

Well, I spent most of my young years in the military (U.S. Ranger). My father really got me going in home theatre gear. There�s nothing like getting a good movie on DVD, turning on my HDTV, my Sony a/v receiver, and sitting down for good quality entertainment. I still enjoy the articles and reviews you give me. Please keep doing a great job. I look forward to the next issue.
