All that is cheesy good fun that you can find about librarian action heroes on the small screen is returning with
The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice. Noah Wylie stars as a mild-mannered librarian (although I don't think he actually has a library degree) who works at the New York Metropolitan Library as guardian of mythical treasures. Of course, every so often he has to go out and retrieve said treasures from that hands of assorted bad guys , always with the help of a feisty female sidekick. The first one,
Quest for the Spear, was adorable and silly and cheesy enough to supply a whole chain of Domino's.
The
second, which had super-stick figure
Gabrielle Anwar (who's way better on
Burn Notice) replacing kick-ass
Sonya Walger as the femme du jour, was just stupid cheesy.
Hopefully the third will get back some of the sheer irreverence and fun and goofball cheesiness of the first. Either way, you know I'll be with a group of fellow librarians throwing popcorn at the screen and snickering about inaccurately portrayed library stereotypes. It'll be a great time.
