    After getting on a train and realizing that he had no money, Charles Schine (Owen) accepted stranger Lucinda Harris' (Aniston) offer to pay for his ticket. Surprised that such a woman could be attracted to him, the very-married Charles found himself unable to get the also-married woman off his mind. And what began as infatuation completely "Derailed" Charles and propelled his life into a collision course with destiny. Based on the novel by James Siegel. (Tricia Spears)

    Special features are the same as those found on the SD DVD (sans up-front ads), and include three deleted scenes, an eight-minute making-of featurette, and the theatrical trailer.

    The H.264 AVC-encoded 2.35:1 HD DVD picture often looks soft and hazy, with fine details that are not well resolved and little dimension to the image. Source element artifacts, while not overly distracting, can be seen throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

    The Dolby® Digital Plus 5.1-channel encoding can sound good, with a good use of each available channel to create a detailed sonic landscape. Fidelity is good, although not as pristine as the best new releases. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
