WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Lion King 3-D tops the chart with 29.3 million, blowing away industry expectations and causing some analysts to grumble about Disney's supposed lack of originality.  But before home video became ubiquitous, Disney would rerelease their classics every seven years, and it was great to see them on the big screen, so I'm not feeling the outrage.  Contagion drops to the second slot with 14.5 million and 44.2 million so far against a 60 million budget.  Drive debuts with 11 million against a 13 million production budget (tho I'd bet some serious cash was dropped on marketing); FilmDistrict's flicks tend to be leggy, so stay tuned to Drive.  The Help drops to fourth with 6.4 million, but has made 147.4 million so far against a 25 million budget.  The debut of Straw Dogs rounds out the Top 5 with 5 million, maybe reflecting a general rough patch for horror films at the moment.  Below the fold, I Don't Know How She Does It opens in the sixth slot with 4.5 million, again demonstrating how little people care to see Sarah Jessica Parker in things not named Sex & The City.

DRIVE is a Tarantino-esque take on action-thrillers of the late 70s and early 80s.  Even its title credit font and its synthy soundtrack evoke the period.  And for a movie about a part-time mechanic/stunt driver/getaway driver, there is more in the way of suspense than car chases; Fast & Furious this ain't.  That's all to the movie's credit, even the untraviolence that punctuates the second half of the film.  The ensemble cast is also fine, particularly Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman as the heavies.  However, I never really bought Ryan Gosling's character or motivation, although made obvious by the script what it's supposed to be.  So I find myself kinda on the opposite side of the near-unanimous critical accalim on this one.  There was plenty to admire in Drive, but on the key thing, it left me flat.
