Ben and Corey strap in for director Nicolas Winding Refn’s superb, violent character study “Drive,” starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan.
Both agree “Drive” is one of the best films of 2011 so far, and if it’s any indicator of how the rest of the fall season will shape up, we’ve got plenty of good things to anticipate.
With FilmNerds.com editor Matt Scalici, Corey takes an early look at Bennett Miller’s “Moneyball,” an adaptation of Michael Lewis’ book about Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt) who used Sabermetrics to evaluate baseball players and build a winning franchise.
Rounding out the show is an interview with Time Magazine editor and entertainment writer Gilbert Cruz, who recaps his experience covering the Toronto International Film Festival. The festival now serves as the go-to launchpad for likely Oscar contenders.
At this year’s festival were Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants,” Lars von Trier’s “Melancholia,” George Clooney’s “The Ides of March” and several other buzzed-about films.
