...Paul Thorburn. Prior to the discussion, the Brattle will screen Willis’ favorite film from his career. What might it be? All the President’s Men? Annie Hall? Nope, it’ll be a new 35mm print of Klute, a forgotten 1971 Jane Fonda-Donald Sutherland crime thriller that won Fonda an Oscar for her role as a hooker. Thursday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $12, $10 members. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle...
...Bauer--never the Kumbaya-singing type to begin with--is in a far darker place, which is right where Sutherland, 35, wants him. Over an Atkins-y lunch at New York City's W Union Square Hotel (burger, medium rare; hold the bun), he says, "I wanted him to be very cold. I wanted him to be very hard. I wanted him to be mean...

The second season involves a nuclear bomb threat in Los Angeles. "Once you posit that the show is set in the world of antiterrorism," says executive...
...safety (and in the premiere's stunning conclusion, Jack makes brutally clear what he'll do). Unfortunately, the story line that puts Bauer's daughter in jeopardy again is badly contrived, like last season's soap-opera twist in which his wife got amnesia. But the screen hums whenever Sutherland's on it; he transcends 24's spare dialogue, creating Bauer's bitterness and nobility out of pauses and hard-eyed stares. This should spell another year of recognition for Sutherland, but is the longtime movie actor willing to stick it out in TV? "Ask me again in five years...
