ISSUE70 SUMMER EDITION 2016

EDITOR’S LETTER S o far it’s been a pretty unsettled Summer, so while we would all rather be outside enjoying the sunshine, it pays to plan ahead for those unwelcome days when you are stuck inside. As far as DVD and Blu-ray is concerned, there is certainly plenty to choose from this Summer at JB Hi-Fi and a good place to start is our film of the month, The Martian , which recently picked up two Golden Globes and is the sort of stirring adventure that will lift the spirits. Other hot new releases featured in this month’s STACK include the acclaimed thrillers Black Mass and Bridge of Spies , the feel-good comedy The Intern and the gloriously gothic fantasy Crimson Peak . And for those looking for more edgy, challenging fare, we recommend you check out The Duke of Burgundy and The Diary of a Teenage Girl . Elsewhere in our Summer Edition, Graham Reid pays tribute to the late, great David Bowie and hails his final album Blackstar , while on the games front, we look ahead to some of most eagerly awaited titles of 2016.
