Following in the footsteps of fellow senior action stars Arnold Schwarzenegger ("The Last Stand") and Sylvester Stallone ("Bullet to the Head"), Bruce Willis is back with a new shoot-'em-up of his own, reprising his role as the wisecracking New York City cop John McClane in "A Good Day to Die Hard. " The film finds McClane traveling to Moscow and teaming up with his son (played by Jai Courtney) to thwart a terrorist plot. Many movie critics, however, feel it wasn't worth bringing McClane out of retirement.

Tuning into "L.A. Law" each week, I am always excited to see the chemistry between Jill Eikenberry (Ann Kelsey) and Michael Tucker (Stuart Markowitz). Eikenberry is lovely and Tucker beats out Bruce Willis any day, in my book. Both are truly a credit to an already fantastic show. Wendy M. McCoy, Encino

Barbra Streisand and Bruce Willis both have specials coming up on Home Box Office. On Dec. 27, Streisand will appear in a 70-minute concert titled "Barbra Streisand: One Voice." Taped in September at the actress/singer's home before 500 guests, the concert was a fund-raiser for the Hollywood Women's Political Committee, to help it support six Democratic Senate candidates.

In your May 19 profile of Wesley Snipes, "Yeah, It's Sweet. . . ," by Hilary De Vries, race was more of a topic than Snipes' acting ability. But this is cool. This is status quo. In America--if you're black--your profession is always incidental (unless, of course, you're an athlete). By contrast, the Bruce Willis interview was totally different. He talked about his work.
