    Reason #44 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for several reasons. While sometimes I find it somewhat over-technical, the features I enjoy are always read. One Installer’s Opinion and the DVD reviews are my favorites. The wrap-around glossy cover featuring the hottest movies; this mag is always a winner. I recently re-subscribed. Thanks.
