The production centered around the Sex Pistols 1978 tour of the US, which ended with the group breaking up. Forcade and Kowalski followed the band with handheld cameras through the clubs and bars during their seven-city U.S. tour. Continue reading →

Equipment: New from Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as the Ghostbusters

Posted on 2017/11/07 by James

The original Ghostbusters’ movie has real staying power. Aside from the 80s music the movie actually holds up for the new millennia. When Ghostbusters first hit the screen in 1984 it broke records. Ghostbusters held the record for highest grossing comedy movie until Home Alone came along in 1990. I must admit that Ghostbusters earned that title and really should have kept it but, that’s life. Surprisingly Ghostbusters are still popular and even my nieces and nephews, who weren’t even a gleam in their parent’s eyes in 1984, know and love this movie. Continue reading →
