      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Consisting of three separate short stories with overlapping themes and featuring the same main cast members, this metaphysical riddle will keep you guessing to the end and beyond. In the three stories, the main character, Gary/Gavin/Gabriel (Reynolds) finds clues that make him believe his life is not quiet normal. Haunted by a cryptic note written in his own hand that he has no recollection of writing, Gary is urged to look for The Nines. Having no idea what the note means, Gary decides to try to unravel the mystery surrounding his existence. (Stacey Pendry)

    Reason #8 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review summarizes the information I need to make informed decisions about DVD purchases. My DVD library is growing by leaps and bounds, and it's great to have WSR let me know when I may be disappointed with a disc before I buy it. I also like the new DVD release list to let me know what's ahead. On top of that, reading WSR is a great way to keep abreast of new technologies. Sometimes the interviews with those who bring these technologies to market give more insight into the overall demands and future directions of the market.
