In the dynamic Behind the Curtain 3, author Marc LeVitre once again pulls back the curtain to reveal Christian spiritual messages in mainstream films. This time, the themes covered are fantasies, war movies, fallen characters, movies about perseverance, and historic fiction. As the third part of his own trilogy, LeVitre thoroughly reviews The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia trios. He also includes recent smashes like Lincoln and Skyfall. As a contrast he includes films based on true stories, a few independent films, and some classics. In all cases, as before, the movies have messages that have impacted LeVitre in some fashion (intellectually, emotionally, and sometimes both), and the author's intention is to reach those who also enjoy stories with a moral (but may not yet understand the full impact). "Out of sight in; insight out," he says. Since the beginning, LeVitre, a pastor's son, has been looking for the moral of the story, and by doing so, has been entertained, but more importantly, has been enlightened. LeVitre has been proud to call New Hampshire home since 1968.
In Behind the Curtain 2, author Marc LeVitre pulls back the curtain once again to reveal the Truth as seen in mainstream movies. These films have been chosen because they have impacted LeVitre on a spiritual level. He delves into such themes as coming-of-age, dealing with the cruel world, sports, the despicable, and Disney. LeVitre also analyzes film that should have been in the first book but were not because they were then too complicated or were not on his radar, and he adds to and/or corrects comments made in the first book. LeVitre, in most cases, ties films to Scripture. However, his Holy Spirit again has led him to explore areas of his life in a few instances. The author had believed the first book would be the last, for about a week. Then God inundated him with what appears in this volume. Since the beginning, LeVitre, a pastor's son, has been looking for the moral of the story, and by doing so, has been entertained, but more importantly, has been enlightened. LeVitre has been proud to call New Hampshire home since 1968.

In this fourth volume of Behind the Curtain, author Marc LeVitre writes his own version of That's Entertainment IV. The films he covers here are sometimes as well known as many in previous volumes, but like the movie clip fest, some are little known, buried in a vault. However, through these films, such as those in That's Entertainment, he, narrating like Gene Kelly, reveals important facets. While the movie clips explore Judy and Mickey barn raisers, Tracy and Hepburn repartee, and Esther Williams swimming extravaganzas, the author dives into three of his own special interests. He explores modern Disney films, a series of emotion-eliciting films, and more sports films, all relevant in some ...
