...humanity to Ian (well, a little bit) and fury to Pat. Add all this to Leeore Schnairsohn's slick-radio-announcer-turned-Jimmy-Swaggart version of Porter and his born-again bride Zivia, and you've got an ending too deliciously and devilishly clever to spoil in a mere review. The true meaning of the title is revealed around this point: it's not just that Zivia is sucking the life out of Pat and Porter out of Zivia in turn--every single member of the family is living off the blood of every single other member...

But even seasoned Downey watchers were alarmed when he was found, mere hours after being charged with drug possession, asleep in a stranger's house four blocks from his home. The homeowner, who discovered him when she put her children to bed, called the police, and Downey spent the night in a hospital-jail ward. He left the next day wearing slippers and a hat fashioned from a T shirt. By week's end, damage control was in full swing: Downey...
