O.K. Video John Carpenter's Batch 4 The Thing

O.K. Video John Carpenter's Batch 2 Halloween

It's Christmas Eve, so that must mean it is time for us to look at John Carpenter's Halloween. This was the hit that paved the way for his career. But is it even good?

O.K. Video 90s Cyberpunk 10 Brainscan

We're back! And we're continuing our 90s Cyberpunk batch with the film Brainscan, starring John Connor...I mean Edward Furlong. Will he be able to pull off video game levels of sneak?
