Welcome to Behind the Greenscreen...
...a movie review blog not confounded by the glitz, glamour and special effects of Hollywood. Believing that the creation of film is about the creation of worlds and that suspension of disbelief is more important than the misdirection of spectacle, the reviews on Behind the Greenscreen will praise fine storytelling and film construction and denounce the vapid, overdone world of endless remakes and sequels. Behind the Greenscreen recognizes that its reviews do not exist in a vacuum and that the context of a film may be just as important as the film itself. Thus, the following film reviews will, in many cases, double as social commentary. As Andy Warhol said, "It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it." However, in the end, movies are really about entertainment and creating something new and Behind the Greenscreen recognizes that too.

results are somewhat surprising. How do people feel about graphic violence in movies or nudity??? Just a thought.
