...partially belied the model-quality good looks that garnered her roles in both "American" movies this summer, both this one and American Pie. With unshaven, not-quite-ratty stubble that gave him the look of a leaner, more thoughtful Tobey Maguire, Wes Bentley (the intense drug dealer and video voyeur Ricky Fitts) stayed mostly quiet during our encounter. But, in the end, it was precocious, prickly Thora Birch-- still 17, no matter what you read--who made the most impression on me.

Your nose seemingly pressed against an eight-story-high screen, you're living that perilous moment through the IMAX film Everest. Shakun Lakhani, a New Jersey homemaker, was so awed by the film that she went back a second time. "It is beyond your imagination," she said. "You are experiencing Mount Everest as if you're climbing it yourself." That's because David Breashears and Steve Judson went to the Himalayas...
