Movie openings
"Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. stars as the tycoon inside Iron Man's shiny shell. He's a 21st-century Oskar Schindler, a munitions maker who reinvents himself as a champion for good. "Iron Man" is a slickly engineered special-effects extravaganza with a saucy sense of humor — an adult take on juvenile escapism.
