Happy Birthday to
Geoffrey Rush
60 today
It's been a mixed year for the antipodean actor, picking up an Oscar nomination for his superb performance in The King's Speech, but then has had an appalling summer with performances in the two worst critically received blockbusters so far (Pirates and Green Lantern). Next up is the adaptation of Patrick White's novel Eye of the Storm, pictured.

20 for 2011: 17 - Eye of the Storm
Choppy waters ahead for our number 17 the deathbed drama The Eye of the Storm.
It's hard to believe but that's Charlotte Rampling under the make-up front and centre of this antipodean adaptation of the Patrick White novel. She plays an elderly matriach coming to the end of her life, losing control of her estate to her grasping children Geoffrey Rush (he's got a good year coming) and Judy Davis whilst remembering the times gone past when she was the centre of Australian good society.
The novel is both a epic battle against death being fought by the central character and a Chehkovian satirical drama as the staff and famiy within this grand mansion interact and say nothing of substance. Whatever the film is I'm hooked.
