Not for the squeamish or faint-hearted, it's sicko scary, spewing gallons-upon-gallons of R-rated graphic bloody gore. Not surprisingly, a succulent sequel is in the works.

With Julianne Moore, the quality you can always count on is intelligence as she delivers a raw, riveting performance, while Dennis Quaid captures the insecurity and pain inherent in the husband.

Slyly sensual and succulent, it's a deliciously delectable froth in which food is the metaphor for love and life.

Episodic, shallow and so bizarre that it's almost surreal.
