Anyone my age or over -  or film buffs with a perverse  interest in the more commercial end of 1970s Hollywood cinema - will  know all about the disaster movie cycle.  &#8220;The Poseidon  Adventure&#8221;, &#8220;The Towering Inferno&#8221;, &#8220;Earthquake&#8221; and &#8220;The Swarm&#8221; were  the key titles in a genre that both [...]]]></description>

 After his extravagant excess in the 1970s it is a miracle that Ken Russell could find any kind of employment in the decades that followed.   He returned to the small screen for a few minor projects before making his American debut, under extraordinary circumstances, with &#8220;Altered States&#8221;.  It was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Viewing himself as Britain&#8217;s answer to  Fellini, Ken Russell ran amok throughout the 1970s.  Music and biography were his specialist fields but his indifference to the conventions of the costume drama or the musical bordered on the contemptuous.  Shameless anachronisms abound, shock effects and over the top visuals take precedence over narrative logic - [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a school of thought that Ken Russell was once a disciplined, thoughtful filmmaker with a keen insight into the artistic process.  Russell apologists point to his television work in the 1960s, principally documentaries and docudramas about classical composers. In his insistence on re-creating scenes from the artist&#8217;s life rather than relying on still photographs he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we examined how great film careers came to an end.  This  week it is the turn of auspicious beginnings.  How did some of the  medium&#8217;s best directors kick things off?  Some started as they meant to  go on, others began in the breach, compromised by inexperience or studio  politics.

		<description><![CDATA[There is no way around the fact that Gerard Depardieu is a big boy  these days.  He&#8217;s never been an oil painting, with bulbous broken nose  and heavy-set features but now that he&#8217;s in his 60s his weight has  ballooned to gargantuan proportions.  No wonder he&#8217;s repeatedly cast as  Obélix.

		<description><![CDATA[Alfred Hitchcock is prime candidate for the title of greatest  commercial director of all time.  Many of his peers and untold of his  successors, of course, made more money, a few had marginally longer  careers and some even have a higher critical reputation.  However,  Hitchcock alone enjoyed a half century of [...]]]></description>
