DRAGON'S DOGMA: interview with the developer mastermind »
GRAVITY PULL: George Clooney heading back to Solaris territory »
IN DEVELOPMENT: The long-
awaited Elder Scrolls Online »

Well hi there, thanks for dropping by... you must be as excited about May's DVDs, games, and music releases as we are!

Let's start this lovely autumnal month with Martin Scorsese's latest — HUGO. Although it's been sold as a kids' film, Hugo is Marty's love letter to cinema which reminds us of the impact that movies can have on our lives. There's also the American incarnation of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO arriving on disc this month — David Fincher certainly makes his mark on this dark and disturbing story (as do Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara). Guy Richie remains true to his extravagant style with SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS; and May proves to be a fangtastic month for vampire lovers, with the release of TRUE BLOOD: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON and Underworld: Awakening.

Even if you're just a casual gamer, you would have heard of that troubled (and quite good looking I'm told) MAX PAYNE and his number 3 release that will be hitting shelves at JB Hi-Fi on the 18th May. Also this month, Tom Clancy takes his unique brand of warfare into the future and we interview the associate producer on TOM CLANCY'S GHOST RECON: FUTURE SOLDIER, Yann Suquet.

In the land of tunes, Electronic duo ORBITAL chat to STACK about their fantastic new album Wonky. CHET FAKER tells us why he loves late crooner Chet Baker (it's not just about the name). THE TEMPER TRAP return with their new self-titled album, following the smash success of Condition. And JACK WHITE proves he is the real deal, receiving STACK's Album of the Month trophy with Blunderbuss.

Game of the Month: The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings
Game of the Month: The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings: There's a distinct sense of satisfaction when you realise that The Witcher 2 isn’t a swift money grabbing port, but a bona fide built-for-console experience that will give Skyrim a good run for its money. While it takes a little practice to get your head around all the demands that playing with a controller requires, the results are more than worth it. This...more»

The Descendants
The Descendants
Aloha from Hawaii.
Acclaimed Hollywood scribe Alexander Payne (Sideways) received his second screenwriting Oscar for The Descendants, adapting the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings with co-writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. In the central role is George Clooney, the trustee of a prized parcel of Hawaiian land, who must navigate tricky family politics in order to sell it on for development. It's the least of his worries though, after his wife is left comatose following a boating accident, and he discovers that she had been having an affair. Exploring the flaws integral in our emotional make-up, Payne reins in the sentiment as Clooney attempts to forge a bond with his daughters who are going through their difficult teens – their journey is unpredictable, and unexpectedly humorous. A poignant exploration of coming to grief and of revelations realised far too late, in which Clooney delivers arguably his best performance to date; adding gravitas to a family drama that belies its sitcom veneer.
Release date: May 09, 2012
Extras: • 8 Featurettes • A Conversation with George Clooney and Alexander Payne • Deleted Scenes • The World Parade - Hawaii (A Silent Film) • Music Videos

May'12: The opening tracking shot of the city, ending at the train station, took one year to complete. Also, watch for a cameo by Martin Scorsese — he's the photographer taking a picture of young George Méliès outside his new studio.
