Noah Wyle is... The Librarian!

Haven't posted to my blog in ages but I just had to post this. Apparently "The Librarian III: Curse Of The Judas Chalice" has just been released on DVD. I had to investigate... and so I located "The Librarian I: Quest For The Spear" and "Librarian II: Return To King Solomon's Mines" - what the ??? The blurb for the first film (refer Beyond Home Entertainment website) states "Having spent his life buried in the cloisters of academia, uber-geek Flynn is uncomfortable in the real world. But fate has a job for Flynn – as a new kind of superhero, at work in the basement of the New York Public Library." Man, this sounds like the job for me - a librarian but with a definite purpose, a calling, but more importantly, weaponry beyond a barcode scanning wand! However, I do believe these are Indiana Jones type movies and would seem to have a very tenuous link with libraries, although having not viewed these films I cannot be certain. It's kind of cool to challenge the old stereotype of librarians with this action hero and adventure stuff though, especially for kids. Hmmmnnn, how do I get hold of a copy now...
