It's exciting times for home entertainment in Australia this month, with the first release to support the groundbreaking UltraViolet platform: THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.

ULTRAVIOLET adds a portable component to DVD and Blu-ray discs, allowing you to instantly stream and download the movie to your web-enabled devices — anytime, anywhere! Another stunning new release, LIFE OF PI, sees Ang Lee transform Yann Martel's supposedly "unfilmable" book about a boy, a boat and a Bengal Tiger into one of the most visually unique and spectacular 3D films since Avatar. Other notable new releases for May include the fifth season of TRUE BLOOD; Tom Cruise's JACK REACHER; Knocked Up's sort-of sequel THIS IS 40; the stylish horror thriller THE COLLECTION; and the real-life disaster movie THE IMPOSSIBLE.

For gamers, the introduction of the R18+ classification in January has allowed Warner Bros. to finally bring Mortal Kombat to market – at a cracking price, too. MORTAL KOMBAT: KOMPLETE EDITION is available in-store as we speak. Elsewhere in STACK's May issue we check out the highly acclaimed THE WALKING DEAD; and talk to Deep Silver's Jeremy Greiner about METRO: LAST LIGHT.

The music section of STACK this month is oozing with cool; we've got a ton of DAFT PUNK for you, as well as JIMI HENDRIX, SHE & HIM and THE CAT EMPIRE. We also had a chat with CHARLES BRADLEY about his second album, Victim of Love, and the documentary on his life... a story that's not to be missed!

Game of the Month: BioShock Infinite
Game of the Month: BioShock Infinite: Telling a story is easy. Telling a story people want to listen to is the challenge. Building that tale into a believable setting in a video game, well, that’s where visionaries like the dexterous Ken Levine come into their own. It’s been six years in the making, but boy has that wait been worth it. Linking historical themes to video games has often proved fertile...more»

The Impossible
The Impossible
Nothing is more powerful than the human spirit.
Release date: May 30, 2013
The true story of one family's ordeal during the tsunami that hit Thailand on Boxing Day 2004, The Impossible is a modern day disaster movie that favours the human element over the spectacle (although there is plenty of that, too). Naomi Watts and Ewen McGregor are a British couple on vacation with their three young sons when disaster strikes. We're not going to reveal who lives and dies here; suffice to say this...
