      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Kazakhstanian reporter, Borat Sagdiyev (Cohen), embarks on an epic journey to the U.S. and A. in an attempt for Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan. But while on the first leg, happily watching TV in his hotel room, his eyes befall Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson, and he instantly knows he must venture westward in order to have a sexy good time. It is during this Westward Ho that he meets the people and sees the sites that make this nation truly glorious, all while giving him a first-hand taste of Americana. Based on a character created by Sacha Baron Cohen. (Jack Kelley)

    DVD Picture:
    Anamorphical process that moviefilm of 1.85:1 ratio use is very nice. The look is not the same all times since cameras used not always same. Very close detail not most sharpness, and darkest pictures look more grays than blacks. Colors look very much natural in scenes with much light, but as scenes get more dark, colors becomes less real. Enhanced edges not very bad, and artifacts of compression not seen very much. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    Soundtrack made with Dolby

    Reason #108 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have been reading WSR for about two years now and especially enjoy the product review section. Although the other articles and review sections are generally well-written and informative, the product reviews give me an unbiased look at new technologies and products. Being in the home theatre design field, I look at many different sources for product ups and downs and find your magazine a very valuable resource in this area. Keep up the great work!!
