I was watching the 1990 film “Misery”, directed by Rob Reiner and based on the novel by Stephen King. It’s about a bestselling author (James Caan) who is rescued from a car accident by a former nurse (Kathy Bates) who claims to be his Number One Fan. It’s a really gripping thriller.

I was watching the 1977 film “Suspiria”, directed by Dario Argento. It’s a striking film with an incredible score from the band Goblin, and a lurid colours. The plot doesn’t really make a lot of sense, but that kind of adds to the dream-like quality of the film.

Book haul.

I was watching the 1924 film “Sherlock Jr.”, which stars Buster Keaton as a cinema projectionist who dreams of being a detective and gets the chance to put his meagre crime fighting skills to the test when he is framed for stealing a watch. It is a very inventive silent comedy.

I was watching the 1949 film “Twelve O’Clock High” about an American bomber squadron stationed in Britain during the Second World War. The film stars Gregory Peck as the tough new commanding officer. It’s a really good war movie.

I’m getting on with my Latin studies.

I was watching the 1984 film “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter”, in which masked killer Jason Voorhees hacks and slashes his way through another bunch of unlucky party-loving teens. It’s actually one of the better of the series, it’s not great, but it’s fun for a late night slasher horror film.
