      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When petty criminal Durell (Ice Cube) is told by his ex-girlfriend and baby-momma that he has one week to pay her the $17,000 she needs to clear her mounting debt, or she will be forced to move herself and Durell Jr. (C.J.

    DVD Picture:

Black levels are relatively elevated, but shadow delineation is nicely rendered. Whites can bloom, but contrast is generally well balanced. Resolution isn

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
