(Entertainment Weekly) -- Guitar pop, Chicago pop, and 8 other things we recommend this week:

1. "Capote" Philip Seymour Hoffman pulls off an astonishing disappearing act in this brilliant warts-and-all look at the making of Truman Capote's ''In Cold Blood.''

2. "Crime Story" The first two seasons of Michael Mann's noirish '80s series (with Dennis Farina as a Chicago cop battling organized crime) finally come to DVD.

3. "Apollo Sunshine," Apollo Sunshine Influenced by organ-pumping classic rock, these Boston boys make guitar pop that will appeal to boomers and boomer babies alike.

4. "Shining" Kubrick's horror classic is recut into a trailer for a hilariously insipid feel-good movie (http://waxy.org/random/
video/shining_redux.mov).

5. "Nip/Tuck" Cable television's most deliciously depraved show gets under the skin with transsexual crushes, gorilla facejobs, and a dime-store Dr. Frankenstein.

6. "13 Steps Down," Ruth Rendell A man's creepy obsession with a model (and a serial killer from the past) draws the suspicions of his lonely spinster landlady in this brilliant mystery -- written by a true grande dame of the genre.

7. Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane Jazz's Holy Grail: a live concert recording from 1957 -- unearthed this year -- with these two titans at their improvisational best.

8. eMusic.com A user-friendly site with more than 600,000 MP3s from the coolest indie labels and artists.

9. "A History of Violence" David Cronenberg's tale of a family man (Viggo Mortensen) with a mysterious past is a taut thriller -- and a riveting meditation on what makes men fight.

10. Sunday nights on ABC Three hours of hearts touched (''Extreme Makeover''), broken (''Desperate Housewives''), and fixed (''Grey's Anatomy'').
