Ryan Gosling stars in the movie "Drive."
If you want to blend into California traffic, drive a Chevy Impala. If you want to stand out amid the torrent of new movies, hire Ryan Gosling. That is what director Nicolas Winding Refn did in converting James Sallis' 2005 neo-noir novel "Drive" into a movie of the same name. (Today)

The three guys who comprise Blink-182 all have someone at home who call them Dad, but put them on a stage together and they easily revert back to the bratty rock 'n' roll cut-ups who made albums like "Enema of the State." On Thursday, a perfect September night to be indoors, Blink-182 returned to the First Niagara Pavilion for 90 minutes of grade-A pop-punk hijinks. (Today)
