| Seventh Son |
The choice for the weekly movie for the Friday Movie Mavens and The Travelling Toe was slim pickings but "The Seventh Son" was selected based on the fact that Jeff Bridges was one of the stars in the movie and he certainly has a long track record of being in some good movies. The movie is based on a novel by Joseph Delaney.

Jeff plays a character named Gregory, who is identified as a "spook" sort of a magical knight who kills witches and other evil beings. Having lost his last apprentice, Gregory locates Tom Ward, (played by Ben Barnes), who is a seventh son of a seventh son. Gregory pays Tom's father a pouch gold coins to purchase Tom as his new apprentice. As they start to leave, Tom's mother gives him an amulet for protection for the road ahead.

Gregory is on a quest to kill the queen witch, Mother Makin, played by Julianne Moore, who looks very fetching in the black leather bustier that is part of her wardrobe.

As the movie plods along, the wizard buster and the queen witch meet to battle it out with Tom and Alice caught in the middle. How does it all end? What does the part does the amulet play in the scheme of things? Well, dear readers, by now you should know that The Travelling Toe does not reveal the ending as you must find out for yourself.
Sometimes Jeff does have a tendency to mumble along with the British accent required, but the mustache he sports is reminisce of Don Quixote. The rating for this movie is PG.
The Travelling Toe gives this movie one pinkie toe up with a toe ring and one corn pad.
