Tamia-More|Tamia can sing. The Quincy Jones protégée proved that in 1995 with her first top 20 R&B hit, "You Put a Move on My Heart." She later scored a No. 1 R&B single with Eric Benét, "Spend My Life With You." However, her albums have been hampered by inconsistent material and misguided production. With "More," the singer stands on solid ground. Since Tamia was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year, the album has been delayed several times. But now, it arrives with three earlier-released, radio-friendly singles: "Into You" featuring Fabolous, "Officially Missing You" and the R. Kelly-penned/produced "Questions." But it's songs like Babyface's "Smile" and the sensuous duet with Gerald Levert, "(They Long to Be) Close to You," that showcase Tamia's voice to full effect. Less effective are the uptempo tracks, although her pairing with producer/artist Mario Winans on "Mr. Cool" is a winner.—GM

LOS ANGELES -- Good guy or bad guy, Tom Cruise is still No. 1. Cruise's "Collateral," in which he plays a psychotic hit man who hijacks a taxi for a one-night killing spree, debuted as the top weekend movie with $24.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
It was an unusually dark role for Cruise, best known for playing the hero. Jamie Foxx co-stars as the cabbie, while Michael Mann ("Ali," "The Insider") directed.
"Collateral" bumped off the previous weekend's top movie, the fright flick "The Village," which took in $16.6 million, a steep 67 percent tumble from its opening-weekend receipts. "The Village" pushed its 10-day total to $85.7 million.
