Hosted by Jackie Cooper, each episode of Hollywood Chronicles takes a lighthearted look at an aspect of American cinema. From the famous to the obscure, from scandal to triumph, no significant moment is missed. This episode of the series takes a retrospective look at the special effects that have made so many movies memorable. Close attention is paid to King Kong and Ghostbusters II as a way of showing the evolution of this cinematic art. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi
