      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The history and methods of movie editing are documented in The Cutting Edge: The Magic Of Movie Editing, from the first film that used an editor, The Life Of An American Fireman to lessons on how to edit for different movie genres. Interviewees include Walter Murch, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and Chris Lebenzon, among others. (Danny Richelieu)

    DVD Picture:
    One of the better looking documentaries on the market, this anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD is comprised of nice looking interviews with filmmakers and clips from movies of all eras. Depending on the source element, there are certain artifacts. But the DVD is quite clean, with rare distractions in the way of smearing or pixelization. Enjoy the subject! (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The stereo Dolby

    Reason #51 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel that your magazine has a nice balance of high-end and mid-range audio equipment. I've purchased some equipment after reading some of your reviews and found that they work just like the way you said. I no longer need any more equipment to purchase, but I've taken a two-year subscription because of your DVD reviews, which I find top notch. I find the picture and sound quality reviews important to me. I also read the equipment reviews, which I enjoy because you never know when a piece of equipment will need to be replaced. Keep up the good work.
