    Reason #107 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love movies. But to get the most enjoyment requires a big investment in time and money. Widescreen Review saves me both by cutting through the BS and giving me advice I can rely on - in tips, hardware purchases, and especially which DVDs are the best. I don't have time to read a bunch of magazines, so I chose the industry leader!
