      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Let "Global Destinations" be your "Passport To The World" as you travel from one exotic location to another. From city to country, desert to sea, during all the seasons of the year, the senses are treated to visuals while being accompanied by mesmerizing sounds that lead you on your journey around the globe.

    Reason #128 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gets to the details I'm really interested in knowing. It doesn't beat around the bush. I love the DVD reviews and the insightful articles. Besides insightful, WSR seems to be able to put into print some of the latest breaking news in this ever-changing industry within weeks, if not days, of the original release of the news. And last but not least, I have access to the subscription website.
