" A Hollywood Video Game Those Wachowski brothers, they sure are energetic. Finding themselves with time to spare even as they wrote and directed two Matrix sequels at the same time, the Wachowskis decided to make a video game as well. Enter the Matrix includes more than an hour of live-action footage shot specifically for the game, adding an interactive subplot to the trilogy. For all consoles and PC, May 15. A Controversial Mini-series CBS is not backing down from its plan for a four-hour Hitler miniseries that has been criticized for &amp;quot;humanizing&amp;quot; the F\u00FChrer, played by Robert Carlyle. But the network people did revise the script and offer to make a donation. To whom? They wouldn&amp;#039;t say. What were the script changes? Wouldn&amp;#039;t say. What&amp;#039;s it called? Wouldn&amp;#039;t say. They wouldn&amp;#039;t even let us screen the finished product. But they did tell us when it&amp;#039;s on: May 18 and 20 at 9:00 P.M. A Factual Oliver Stone Film There are perhaps three or four men in the world to whom you can listen for 90 minutes straight and never once get bored. Ali. Mandela. Larry David. And Fidel. In Comandante, Oliver Stone&amp;#039;s first documentary, the famously speculative director has given us a straight-up look at Castro that is unprecedented in its scope and intimacy. The two jabber endlessly about Fidel&amp;#039;s favorite subjects (health care, Che, Angola, the Bay of Pigs, education, Eli\u00E1n) and Stone&amp;#039;s favorite subject (JFK). El Jefe doesn&amp;#039;t buy the lone-gunman theory, either. May 5 at 8:00 P.M. on HBO. A Fantastic At-Bat Could Babe Ruth have hit a Roger Clemens fastball? The question is no longer the exclusive domain of stat geeks. Ah, technology. All-Star Baseball 2004 features an impressive roster of players past and present-- including, in a redemptive touch, Satchel Paige and a full roster of Negro League players. For all consoles, in stores now. A Surprisingly Good Ed Burns Movie Sometimes a movie isn&amp;#039;t about innovation. Or structure. Or even acting. Sometimes a movie is about entertainment. And Confidence, a screwball crime FLick starring Ed Burns, of all people, with Rachel Weisz and Dustin Hoffman, is exactly that. Damn entertaining. April 25. A Round-Robin Novel Wigfield: The Can-Do Town that Just May Not (Hyperion, $23) is a seriously funny novel--it should be, as Shecky Greene would&amp;#039;ve said; it took three people to write it, yuk, yuk--by Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, and Stephen Colbert, with photographs by Todd Oldham. Wigfield&amp;#039;s virtuoso improvisations make it the print equivalent of SCTV. May 7. And an Irish Whiskey The manufacturers of Bushmills 21-Year-Old speak of &amp;quot;dark chocolate&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;honeyed spiciness.&amp;quot; Well, okay. All we know is that it&amp;#039;s some tasty hooch. Crack the seal on April 15, right after you drop your tax return in the mail. But go easy. This stuff costs $100 a bottle. bushmills.com.
