Kiefer Sutherland released from jail

GLENDALE, CALIF. — Kiefer Sutherland has been released from jail after serving 48 days on a drunken driving charge, People magazine reported.

A jail spokesman did not immediately return a phone call seeking confirmation of a story on People magazine’s website saying the 41-year-old actor walked out of jail at 12:05 a.m. Monday, hours earlier than had been expected.

But People quoted police Officer John Balian as saying, “[Kiefer] looked like he was glad to be out,” and that Sutherland was wearing a shirt and jeans when he left the facility.

Siblings care for dad in true-to-life tragicomedy Savages

The hands that rock the cradle sometimes tip it over. Watching The Savages, Tamara Jenkins’s beautifully nuanced tragicomedy about two floundering souls, you have to wonder if those hands didn’t also knock that cradle clear across the nursery, sending both Savage children into perpetual free fall.

Certainly Jon Savage, the angry lump played by a brilliant — oh, let’s just cut to it — the brilliant Philip Seymour Hoffman, looks like a man who’s taken as much abuse as he likes to deliver. One night, Jon, a college professor who lives and teaches in Buffalo, is awakened from a deep sleep (Jenkins has a nice way with metaphor) to discover that his father, Lenny (a fine Philip Bosco), has gone around the bend and has begun fingerpainting with his feces. The bearer of these unfortunate tidings is Jon’s younger sister, Wendy (Laura Linney, sharp and vanity free), a self-professed playwright whose greatest, perhaps only, creation is the closely nurtured story of wounded narcissism and family wrongs unwinding in her head.
