Sit down. Shut up. Hold on. Drive Trust us. You want to ride shotgun as Ryan Gosling maneuvers L.A.’s mean streets to the sound of a simmering techno score and ticking timepiece. It doesn’t get better than Cannes Best Director Nicolas Winding Refn’s tender, violent tour de force he calls an unorthodox remake of Sixteen Candles. As Driver, a laconic, almost-psychotic stuntman who gets tangled up in a botched heist, Gosling may have just hitched a ride straight to Oscar’s front door. And we’re left on the curb with one thought: again. It’s like: Heat with heart. Take: The fast lane. Premieres: September 16 Take Shelter It’s easy to get trapped in Jeff Nichols’s thrilling, visually stunning Sundancer that questions what’s real and what’s only in the mind. Haunted by premonitions of an apocalyptic storm worse than The Nothing coming to town, pragmatic Curtis abandons all domestic responsibility to build an underground haven that will keep his wife and deaf daughter safe from said Nothing. Just one problem: No one else sees the flocks of birds, black cumulonimbus, or tornadoes. Maybe his feared Nothing is just that — until it’s not. It’s like: Donnie Darko with A Beautiful Mind. Take: Shelter. Don’t you listen? Premieres: September 30 50/50 From real-life cancer survivor Will Reiser’s pen, indie filmmaker Jonathan Levine’s (The Wackness) latest full house rolls Bryce Dallas Howard, Anna Kendrick, Anjelica Huston, Seth Rogen, and leading man Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who replaced James McAvoy), into a tissue-worthy cancer comedy. When Adam (JGL) learns he needs surgery to remove a malignant tumor, leaving him with half a shot at life, he’s forced to shut up and deal. It’s like: I Love You Man meets Terms of Endearment. Take: A blind date and let it ride. Premieres: September 30 Dry your eyes. We have more cinema to get you through the month.
