Annie Lennox follows "Diva," her aptly titled 1992 album of her original music with a recording of 10 old and new songs written by others.

The first, a cover of "No More 'I Love You's,'" is an evocation of love's demons in which a woman's bed of sad passion telescopes into a child's bedroom fears. A reworking of Paul Simon's "Something So Right" closes out the album and answers the pessimism of the first tune with a simple...

Grant does wonderful work as an actor in the former movie as a vicious, smooth-as-snake-oil director of a theater troupe in postwar Liverpool. Grant is assured, residing inside this rotter...
...century." "Safe" tells of her attempts to understand and conquer her condition at a "chemical-free zone in New Mexico." Moore's beautifully acted performance gives the director the vessel to present his questions about suburbia, the environment and 12-step programs. "The brazen majesty of Haynes' approach," says Corliss, is that "he spills no secrets, makes no obvious judgments. Safe is its own unique thing...
