		<description><![CDATA[

The 84th Academy Awards  take place Monday afternoon, New Zealand time.  Instead of a dedicated  film review this morning I thought I might give the main categories a  once over, referencing the nominees as we go.

By a strange statistical  quirk that I don&#8217;t quite understand last year&#8217;s 10 Best Picture  [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s difficult for me to be  objective when assessing &#8220;The Artist&#8221;.  The deserved front runner in the  Oscar race, this French produced, largely silent feature is such a  treat for film buffs that it would be easy to declare it a masterpiece  and expect all audiences to be as enthusiastic about [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a  while since I&#8217;ve graced these airwaves and we are in the midst of the  usual movie award season glut of good films, so today  I&#8217;ve decided to review four titles seen over as many weeks.
First  up, &#8220;The Iron Lady&#8221;.  I could wax lyrical until year&#8217;s end about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

It&#8217;s strange what can  put you off a film.  Sometimes a poorly constructed trailer  spins the content or tone of a movie in ways a studio marketing  department thinks works, doing neither filmmaker nor audience any  favours.  For me, with &#8220;Beginners, it was the poster that screamed out  &#8220;don&#8217;t see [...]]]></description>

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>
