...debut performance, is good as the frustrated, traditional trucker Jack; kudos also to Jay O. Sanders, for his sensitive portrayal of Dan, and some great scenes with Brown's character Ava. Cody McMains is a delight as Ava's 12-year old, punk-haired boyfriend, and up-and-comer Laurel Holloman matches McTeer's spunk as a close friend of Mary Jo. Director O'Connor had some terrific talent to work with for this film, and gives each one of them a chance to shine-or, in McTeer's case, to sizzle...

Winebaum helped make Disney, though a late comer to the Internet game, a formidable player. Last year Disney bought a 43% stake in InfoSeek, a search engine that was slipping behind competitors and needed a new brand and some marketing might. Disney needed to beef up its online presence with a portal. In January the two launched the Go Network, now the fourth most popular online destination go.com) with more than 19 million visitors a month. Not bad, but far from the best. At No. 1, yahoo.com attracts close to 31 million, according to Net-traffic tracker Media Metrix. Disney...
