Hey, Steve Nash, you might as well refer to Justin Bieber as a bus driver. Because the singer just took you to school! During a pick-up game this week that featured Canadian legend against Canadian legend, the 17-year old received a pick from a teammate, crossed over the two-time NBA MVP and finished with a reverse lay-up that was nothing but net… and he did it all with Selena Gomez cheering him on.

There’s a moment at the end of Gavin O’C onnor’s MMA drama Warrior in which two men who have been relentlessly beaten and pummeled in the octagon stand dripping with exhaustion, rivers of sweat mingling with the tears running down their faces. It doesn’t matter that you can’t tell the sweat from the tears; that’s partly the point of Warrior anyway, which makes you feel every emotional wound just as acutely, if not more so, than the bruising, rib-crunching body blows. Yes, this is a mixed martial arts movie (distributed by genre specialists Lionsgate, no less). But it’s also one of the most heart-wrenching and deeply felt films of the year.
It’s that time again — time for actors and filmmakers to cross their fingers, for studios and distributors to get out their checkbooks, for bleary-eyed audiences to get their running shoes on, and for all of them to meet up north for the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. As always, their confluence will yield a handful of big-screen surprises, some bitter disappointments, and the usual all-night wheeling and dealing for the best of the fall crop premiering in the week ahead.* Per annual TIFF custom , let’s have a browse through the catalog (and a listen to the buzz) at five particular titles you should expect to hear about early and often.

Last anyone heard from team Human Centipede , led by the redoubtable, utterly demented filmmaker Tom Six, the third film in the series was eyeing a U.S. setting . Those plans might go south depending on whether or not Six and Co. can even get the controversial Human Centipede Part 2: Full Sequence screened uncut and uncensored when it opens Stateside next month — an inevitability that a new, NSFW Australian teaser wouldn’t have you count on.
