The Librarian Movies Review

How does The Librarian Quest for the Spear start? Like all the other good movies do... at the beginning!

You will be introduced to a young man who is in his 30s and still lives with his mother. To get rid of him, his professor signed off on his 22nd degree half-way through his semester. Poor Flynn! Now he has to get a real job...

Flynn somehow lands the job as The Librarian at the Metropolitan Library. And right away they put him to work to save the world. And on his way he meets a beautiful woman who tells him right off the bat that he is "way out of his league" with her. In fact, she is so far out of his league that if his league exploded... she wouldn't hear about it for 3 days.

Well, as it turns out... it is Nicole Noone, played by Sonya Walger, who is assigned to be the bodyguard for Flynn Carsen. And they have an adventure through the Amazon in the quest for the Spear.

It is a delightful movie that is light on special effects (geez, it is a made-for-TV movie!). Again, cheesy special effects and corny adventure comedy. I think it is just fun fare for the whole family to watch together.

If there was anything that I can take away from this delicious and fun movie it would be that... "Hippos like chocolate!" And if you believe the quotes from TV movies as the truth, even Flynn has a much, much better chance of surviving than you but I digress...

The 2nd movie of The Librarian is named, Return to King Solomon's Mines. And like the first one, it is a little light on the special effects but the acting and story is delightful and charming. And if you have no high expectations, then this is the perfect adventure - romantic type movie for the family to watch together. It is a globe trotting adventures in Africa. And of course, you will hear some references to Humphrey Bogart's classic movie, Casablanca.

But of course our hero, The Librarian is accompanied by a beautiful archaeologist named Emily Davenport that is played by Gabrielle Anwar. And yes, she has 3 degrees more than Flynn and corrects him all the time which bother's him to no end! Oh yeah, she hits back. So be careful Flynn, because I think you just met your match...

The million dollar question is: will Emily fall in love with him? And will Flynn be able to save the world once more by finding the King Solomon's Mines? For the answers to these important questions is that you will have to watch the movie to find out...

Of all The Librarian movies so far... Curse of the Judas Chalice is my favorite one. And why? Because of Simone Renoir. Stana Katic does a very special job playing the French vampire that becomes Flynn's latest romantic interest.

Stana Katic also sings very well... and of course if you look below, you will find a video of her character singing to Flynn in a nightclub. I would go as far to say this is probably the sexiest performance I have ever seen that doesn't include the nasty stuff that most modern singers tend to do nowadays... (sigh)

But back to the 3rd of The Librarian movies. In this one, you are going to see Flynn Carsen lose his latest girlfriend because he is too busy... saving the world of course! So Flynn needs a vacation to get his life back together. And his dreams lead him to New Orleans right in the middle of a plot by Russians to revive Dracula to conquer Russia with un-killable solders.

But of course, Flynn wanders into the right nightclub of all places where Simone, the French chanteuse with a very terrifying secret, sings her lovely song which encourages Flynn to approach her afterward. Which leads them both into a very unpredictable and romantic adventure.

This is a very enjoyable movie for families and romantics to watch. It is a little hokey because there wasn't a budget for expensive special effects. But so what? All the actors and actresses make this movie really click.
