"That's Hot" - week ending 4/2

1. Sin City
   Are you kidding me, how freakin' cool is this movie gonna be? (Answer: real freakin' cool.)
2. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
   Probably the last in the series (on this generation of platforms anyway) - better, smoother, faster-paced... and oh yeah, you can stab stuff now.
3. Beck - Guero
   I wish everyone would lay off Beck. No, it's not Odelay, but for cryin' out loud, give the guy a break. He still throws more crap in a blender than anyone else and makes it sound super-groovy.
4. "Black Star" by Gillian Welch
   Still hot a week later.
5. Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell
   I'm sure you've wondered if love for your country's history can turn into a morbid obsession. Read this book by the always witty Sarah Vowell to find out just how off the deep end you can carry an interest in, say, Presidential assassinations. Also, you might appreciate how deftly Vowell connects the dots from John Wilkes Booth to Timothy McVeigh to John Ashcroft, in just under a page.
