The composer Lalo Schifin just passed away and while his best known piece is probably the Mission: Impossible theme tune, some of his greatest work is on the Dirty Harry soundtrack.
And so to the book part of the book-film club.
We’re back with the Something Strange book club here in Sheffield and it’s a film I didn’t even know was based on a book.
A sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, the UK zombie outbreak movies from a couple of decades ago. Danny Boyle is back behind the camera, and in this one we follow a community of people living in isolation from the UK mainland on Lindisfarne, a tidal island off the North-East coast. 12 year-old Spike (Alfie Williams) takes to the mainland to hunt zombies with his dad (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as a rite-of-passage ritual.
OK this is embarrassing but I didn’t realise it was a Christmas film.
