...time when some of cinema's most respected actors--Robert De Niro, Al Pacino--have developed an unfortunate taste for self-parody, Neeson has made his mark in Hollywood as a paragon of restrained intensity. In Ethan Frome, the 1993 movie version of Edith Wharton's novel, Neeson manages to convey a lifetime of thwarted longing in one gaze. In a Schindler scene that has Neeson's debonair businessman surveying the destruction of the Cracow ghetto, we see in the actor's perplexed expression something quite remarkable: a man's humanity slowly surfacing...
...more than a vocal Ouija board. On the very first track she stretches beyond jazz with a patient, deeply pleasing rendition of Walkin' After Midnight, a song made famous by country star Patsy Cline. And in a nod to her French roots, Peyroux delivers a vibrant version of Edith Piaf's La Vie en Rose. Dreamland features an impressive cast of supporting players. Pianist Chestnut provides restrained invention on Reckless Blues, guitarist Vernon Reid (formerly of the rock band Living Colour) enlivens Muddy Water, and up-and-coming jazz stars Marcus Printup (trumpet) and James Carter (saxophone) provide lift...

Bushnell has compared herself with Edith Wharton, which is awfully grandiose for someone who churns out sentences like "Welcome to the age of Un-Innocence. No one has breakfast at Tiffany's, and no one has affairs to remember." But despite hokey prose, she is valuable as an arch and knowing observer of her Chateau Latour-imbibing universe. She mostly avoids the temptation to lay it on too thick, never making her "characters" more absurd than they prove themselves to be. Mercifully too, she has the good sense never to venture beyond her demographic. Reporting on the world of size...
