...regularly hauls out at her own expense; she's kind of an exuberant dork. Jones often complains that Come Away with Me was "too mellow" and "too cool" and that Feels like Home sounds like a correction. The tempo is noticeably jauntier, and the band is more confident, even roguish, as it wanders in and out of jazz, country and bluegrass riffs. Jones also sounds significantly less precious. She perfected an innocent sensuality on Come Away with Me, but on songs like What Am I to You? and the terrific In the Morning, Jones proves...
...what makes belief fail. To this end he surrounds Nicole with a bestiary of believers who try to come to terms with her gifts in different ways: the oddly named (but historically real) Barbe Acarie, a beautiful, wealthy zealot who takes Nicole into her home; Henry IV, the roguish but humane King of France, for whom faith is a matter of politics; and Rene Monnet, a skeptical doctor puzzled by the would-be wonder worker's hold over him: "There was nothing of carnal seduction about Nicole, but he thought there was something like spiritual seduction...

Barron is scrupulously faithful to the historical record, so we know that Jane will never actually get married. But shouldn't we let her--and Barron and ourselves--have a little fun along...
Rush and Depp offer a congenial collision of acting styles: the one purring with assured menace, the other weirder, more daring. In a role that requires him to be both the lead and the comic relief, Depp plays the roguish coquette, sporting another of his odd British accents (as in Sleepy Hollow and From Hell). Only he could make this spiked cocktail of quirks so potent and piquant. Now Pirates could give Depp what he may never have wanted: a movie franchise...
