...televisual duty; they were also seen together afterward. This brings the tally of men Roberts has reportedly been linked with since just before her split from Lyle Lovett to six, not counting the really nutty stories. Let's see: ETHAN HAWKE (they danced), RICHARD GERE (they walked), BRAD PITT (no reason; it just made a good read), DANIEL DAY-LEWIS (a former flame rekindled) and a Venetian gondolier. Goodness, what has Scott Bakula's publicist been doing...
...world has been killed by a virus that broke out in 1997. Cole (Bruce Willis) is sent back in time to find out what went wrong. Landing in a loony bin, he is aided by a nice doctor (Madeleine Stowe) and beset by a canny inmate (Brad Pitt, in a funny turn full of wild hand gestures, as if shaking off imaginary water). Can Cole fulfill his mission and save the planet...
They bicker and bond--a wise, weary detective (Morgan Freeman) in his last week before retirement and an eager kid (Brad Pitt) fresh from the country and ready to kick some big-city butt.

Although all of the acting is superb, the surprise of this movie is Brad Pitt, who showed a great deal of promise in a small role in "Thelma & Louise" and who, since then, has been given virtually nothing to do in the way of performance. Finally, with "Seven," he dispels entirely the notion that he is simply a heartthrob with no acting ability. He has finally broken out of the quandry from which Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves can never escape. He has proved himself to be an excellent actor...
