Denzel Washington, Ethan
Hawke and Chris Pratt saddle up
for Antoine Fuqua’s star-powered
remake of The Magnificent
Seven, and Haley Bennett breaks
female stereotypes in Westerns.
Ricky Gervais’s cringe-inducing
comic creation returns, thirteen
years after the cameras stopped
rolling at The Office.
A deceptively simple yet
ingenious horror-thriller from
Sam Raimi disciple, Fede
Alvarez. Be warned, you’ll never
look at a turkey baster the same
way again.

Sausage Party, David Brent: Life
on the Road, Kubo and the Two
Strings.
Team Cap or Team Iron Man? Star
Chris Evans sees a very human
story at the heart of the latest
Marvel blockbuster.
Nicholas Hoult returns as Beast in
the biggest X-Men movie yet, and
finds himself on the pointy end of
co-star Olivia Munn’s sword. Ouch!
How did Warcraft buck the trend
of video game adaptations and
become a box office success? Story
consultant James Waugh puts it
down to attention to detail.
It’s the season that broke ratings
records and climaxed with one of the
greatest cliffhangers in TV history.

It’s time for Australia’s biggest
music conference/festival; we
investigate Tash Sultana, Sampa
The Great, Mike Noga, and the
others you must look out for.
Angel Olsen’s My Woman is our
Album of the Month, but we’ve

It’s that time of year again – FIFA’s
back! And this time it’s a Journey.

to cover the “largest LAN in
North America” – and we had an
absolute blast.
We’re at the tail-end of 2016, but

This month’s game changer takes
a look at another arcade classic –
Asteroids.
