Only God Forgives isn't a sequel to Drive, but it could just as well be.

I go to the movies a lot. Just about every week, in fact. Rather than just telling you the best and worst movies of the year, I thought it would be fun to rank every single movie I sat through in a movie theater in 2011. Here's the complete list.

The dumb lawsuit filed by Michigan resident Sarah Deming against the distributors of Drive because it wasn't Vin Diesel-y enough also claimed that the film was anti-Semitic. Specifically, the suit stated that Drive contained "extreme gratuitous defamatory dehumanizing racism directed against members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoted criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith." If that assertion leaves you scratching your skullcaps, you aren't alone. Luckily, the legal mastermind behind the suit has been quite vocal about what he meant by that language — in the comments section of a movie blog.

A Michigan woman is suing FilmDistrict Distribution LLC, the outfit that distributed Drive, and the theater where she watched said Ryan Gosling action-drama thriller, all because the trailer had made it seem like the movie was gonna be just like Fast and Furious (not the gun-trafficking operation but the street-racing movie series) and it wasn't totally wasn't at all. WTF, LIARS.

R.E.M. broke up last week, but don't be too sad. See, lots of people are still making music all the time, much of it noteworthy. Here are a few recent happenings in music that we'd love for you to be up on, if you're not already.

The Lion King is number one at the box office, so it must be, right? Meanwhile in the future, a disease movie holds on, a dark thriller does OK, and Sarah Jessica Parker stalls out.

Here's a trailer for Drive, the hard-boiled getaway thriller from Nicolas Winding Refn, the writer/director behind Bronson. Ryan Gosling plays a stunt driver for the movies who moonlights as a getaway driver for robbers and crooks.

After he does this one movie, that's it. It can never get better. Also today: Natalie Portman might be shot into space and left there, TV actresses get TV deals, Joan Holloway gets a new assignment, and nerd news.
