Funny Or Die Parodies Drive With Drive-ThruLike many movies that slam full-force into the movie-going consciousness, Drive is absolutely chockablock with elements just begging to be skewered, referenced, and outright parodied. Director Nicolas Winding Refn's unforgettable visual style. The propulsive faux-vintage soundtrack. The Driver's racing-jacket-and-gloves wardrobe, already a go-to Halloween costume. Gosling's "less is more" performance. That elevator scene. It's all there, just waiting to be mocked....by David Wharton | published: 2011-11-21 14:12:08comments

LAFF '11: Drive ReviewI’ve never heard a film quite like Drive before. It’s a strange thing to say when talking about a movie, a medium largely recognized for its visual qualities, but it needs to be said.
