27 - The Water Horse - 7.5/10 - The true story of the Loch Ness Monster and the boy who raised it from an egg during World War II. I enjoyed this family picture and while it is fairly straightforward, the special effects are pretty good and the acting performances were solid.
28 - Seeker: The Dark Is Rising - 5/10 - A very loose adaptation of the novel by Susan Cooper. The movie has met with pretty bad reviews, but I thought it was okay. It had the potential to be pretty good, but didn't live up to the potential. Fans of the novels probably will probably dislike the movie just for not being very faithful.
29 - Iron Man - 9/10 - I wasn't really thrilled with the preview, so I went into the film with mixed expectations. Those were wiped away very early. Iron Man is filled with lots of humor, action and cool special effects. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Robert Downey, Jr. makes a nice Tony Stark, Gwyneth Paltrow is adorable as Pepper Potts and Terrence Howard does a nice job as Jim Rhodes. Stan Lee also makes a humorous cameo in the film. I'm definitely hoping for a sequel in a couple of years.
Another friend of mine wants to see it and has free passes for after it opens. I'll probably go see it again next week. I hope you get the chance to see it. It's very entertaining.
