      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues," based on the novel by Tom Robbins, is a hip and outrageous modern western from director Gus Van Sant Jr. (Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho). The story is about an unusually gifted hitchhiker Sizzy Hankshaw (Thurman) whose travels take her to the Rubber Rose Ranch, a desert spa owned by her transvestite mentor (Hurt) and worked by a posse of rebellious lesbian cowgirls led by Delores Del Ruby (Bracco). A crazed adventure with a sexual twist, the story touches on the bizarre.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is sharp and detailed, with sometimes excellent textures and definition. Sometimes the picture looks so good, that it doesn

    Soundtrack:
    Fidelity in the Dolby

    Reason #6 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for a couple of reasons. First, I work in the electronics industry, and it is essential to have great demo material when presenting a product. It would be impossible to buy every DVD out there to find out what looks and sounds good in the DVD world. Second, electronics is my passion. I am constantly looking for any new information on software and hardware. WSR is a great source of information on both hardware and software.
