The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines

Noah Wyle, Gabrielle Anwar (2006) An adventurer and a brilliant archaeologist use a map to search for the fabled mines of King Solomon

Dude's boss' advice when dude is leaving on a mission:

"Don't get killed. And save your receipts."

In case you were wondering, Gabrielle Anwar is the actress who plays Fiona on Burn Notice. A good show.

And the villain seems to be Erick Avari AKA Kasuf from Stargate.

And apparently Hippos like chocolate. You should probably keep that in mind for future reference.

As you can probably tell, if I'm enjoying a movie, I seem to write a lot less about it, as I'm busy watching, rather than trying to find something else to do...

The opening credits for this movie say "TNT Presents". So I guess TNT is thus far 2 for 2 on good movies. Which is in stark contrast to movies that start with "Sci Fi Pictures Present". Which are probably, oh, say... maybe 2 for 200000.

And apparently bats' first instinct when encountering someone on fire is to swarm around him, and seemingly run the risk of getting set on fire themselves...

And they're advertising the hell out of The Day The Earth Stood Still. I'm still rather interested to see what they're going to do with it.

Again, a rather enjoyable movie. I'd have to say that the first one was a bit more fun, but this was pretty good. Again, worth a watch.

Two worthwhile movies back to back? That is perfectly unacceptable.

Well, they aired the whole trilogy in a row, so I might as well watch them in a row

Now, that makes sense. I don't approve.

I have this urge to watch Bubba Hotep. You should do it and review it.
