anchor: But Boorman, pickled since youth in Arthurian legends, has become nearly unemployable thanks to the mythic resonances in such epic turkeys as Zardoz (1974), Exorcist  The Heretic (1977), Where the Heart Is (1990), and the worthy dud Beyond Rangoon (1995).
positive: Boorman has starred in more than one epic.
negative: Boorman has no trouble finding new roles to play in.
