The Librarian-3rd movie in the series
Added 8/28/2010
Delivered in good condition and promptly. This is the third movie in "The Librarian" series. I own all three now. The librarian has become a little bored with his job and decides to take a vacation in New Orleans where he meets a female vampire. She's a good vampire and together they stop an evil vampire from controlling the world. The added comedy in these action movies is really cute. I purchased the 2nd and the 3rd movies of the series from amazon.com I am always satisfied with my purchases. Anytime my friend says she is trying to find something, I suggest amazon.com. I always find what I need from there. It's gotten to be an ongoing joke. "I want to find...." Just go to amazon.com

Wonderful Escapist Family Entertainment
Added 8/18/2010
You wouldn't think Noah Wylie could carry a comedy-adventure series, but you'd be wrong, because he has. Not only that, the series manages to be fun and exciting, without gratuitous violence, sex, or swearing. The casting is excellent, with Bob Newhart and Jane Curtain in wonderfully understated roles, and the plots are interesting. Yes, the movies are low budget, but so what? Exercise your imagination! Remember Buckaroo Banzai? Now there was a low budget adventure film! As far as the third Librarian episode is concerned, the story may not be quite as strong as the first, but the characterization of the main characters is gradually deepening, and I think over time many more people will realize how strong this series is becoming. The third film is obviously setting up a fourth, and my intuition says that may be the last, but I hope not -- keep them coming! The bottom line here is that all three Librarian movies are wonderful escapist family entertainment. That's to be treasured these days.

Curse of the Librarian
Added 6/29/2010
Sad to say,this DVD is a big waste of time. Noah Wiley tries to be quirky and charming but fails miserably because he doesn't balance these traits with any personal strength and authority. Echoing at different times James Bond, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter his character seems weak , derivative and unsympathetic. The plot has lots of holes and tries to do too much without sufficiently building suspense. The other characters seem even shallower than the Librarian.(Makes me really appreciate the old B-movies. ) The story takes some childish turns with the writers wanting us to believe that a magic sword (Excalibur) is the Librarian's "best friend".( Yuh). Not charming in the least. Avoid this.

Love this movie
Added 6/8/2010
Before continuing, I'll state these two things: I like Noah Wyle, and I like cheesy movies. That said, this is an excellent and fun movie. It involves a little bit of geeky/nerdy humor, some action/adventure, and a smidge of romance. I watched it with my husband, who also loved it. It's a good light movie for a date night.

Noah Wyle Does It Again!
Added 5/19/2010
Noah Wyle once again portrays The Librarian, searching for relics for an unbelievably vast library. I'm a fan of Noah's and really enjoy this character he has developed. He plays so well opposite Bob Newhart and their characters and lines work together to create quite a team. This movie is not only humorously enjoyable, but quite a learning experience along the way. Sit back and enjoy!
