Seventh Son
Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), a local tender of the supernatural and dark arts known as a “Spook” is faced with the difficult task of finding an apprentice to study under his watch. But, peasant boy, Tom Ward (Ben Barnes) fits the requirements aptly, and just in time considering that the powerful Queen witch, Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore), has risen from her prison with revenge in her heart and a score to settle with Gregory. All have their secrets, some are darker than others, who will survive, how will Tom fare, and what of this possible love interest, Alice (Alicia Vikander)? 
Fantasy fiction on a larger budget, this staff wielding, sword swinging, dragon slaying, and witch burning romp can hardly be taken seriously, Bridges in particular seems to be an amalgamation of previous performances, The Dude and Rooster Cogburn come to mind; but mind you, this isn’t a bad thing, in fact it’s kind of endearing and chuckle inducing in a number of instances. Meanwhile, Moore is right at home with this easy performance as the scorned woman. From a screenplay standpoint, there isn’t really freshly mined territory here but that hardly seems to matter; it’s all about goofy spook slaying, some badass monsters, and mindless entertainment. Matinee or rental, your choice shooter, Seventh Son is rated PG-13.
