After watching Smackdown tonight, I walked to the movie theater across the street and saw "Drive."
"Drive" is about a loner movie stunt car driver who at night drives get away cars for organized crime. It is filmed in LA and the street the shop the driver works on is mentioned as "Reseda Blvd"- the main cross street for PWG's Legion Hall.
I think some people may find the pace slow, but I liked how the movie showed you don't have to overemphasize CGI and other special effects to make a good action movie- the opening scene where the driver alludes the police around Staples Center is intense and brilliant!
I am not sure I am going to buy this movie on DVD (I simply don't buy very many movies on DVD,) but I am really glad I paid to see "Drive" in the theater and not wait for months to see it via Netflix.

I just saw that Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave "drive" 4 stars, Roger Ebert gave it 3 1/2 stars, and Rotten Tomatoes gave it a fresh rating at 93.%
I don't think I would rate "Drive" quite as high, but it was a really good movie- the first movie I have seen in the theaters since Rise of the Planet of the Apes back in early August (but I may go across the street to see something else before the ROH IPPV starts later today.)
