“Night Moves” wants to be both eco-thriller and character study, but it doesn’t have the substance or stamina to achieve either.

Someone broke Lykke Li’s heart, and the results are an exquisite, if somewhat monochrome, self-portrait of pain and loneliness. “I Never Learn” is the Swedish singer-songwriter’s third album, the last in her self-described trilogy.

Kamran Khavarani created his own art genre, but he wasn’t sure what to name it. That’s why he called Albert Boime, a late UCLA art history professor, who later hailed Khavarani as the leader of a new artistic movement called “abstract romanticism.”

Khavarani said the name “abstract romanticism” may seem like an oxymoron, but it describes his art perfectly.
