      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    We catch up with Sex And The City columnist Carrie Bradshaw (Parker) a few years after we left her and her bed-hopping friends in the popular HBO series. Carrie has just found the penthouse apartment of her dreams with Mr. Big (Noth), Miranda (Nixon) is settling into family life in Brooklyn, Samantha (Cattrall) is in L.A. with her movie star boy-toy Smith Jerrod (Lewis), and Charlotte (Davis) is living her dream of being a mom to her adopted daughter. When Mr. Big makes an arbitrary decision to marry Carrie, you could say the devil is in the details as she and he have differing ideas on the perfect nuptial ceremony. Based on characters from Candace Bushnell

    DVD Picture:

    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
