      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Cedric The Entertainer will be Taking You Higher at the famous Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles for his first solo HBO special. Presented in a Las Vegas show style, with dancers and a band, nothing is off-limits

    Reason #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
