Movie #411 - The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines

The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines
2006 (TV) - 1 hr 32 min
Director: Jonathan Frakes
Starring: Noah Wylie, Bob Newhart, Gabrielle Anwar, Jane Curtain, Olympia Dukakis, Lisa Brenner, Jonathan Frakes, Erick Avari

More Noah Wylie, but a new chick this time.  And she's a professor, so she can actually argue with him about things and keep him on his toes.  She also happens to be Fiona from Burn Notice. Hey there.

The rest of the cast is back, but Nicole just isn't there anymore.  Okay. She must've been filming Lost, right? So we've got Newhart and Curtain, and a stubborn Excalibur trying to kill Noah Wylie just because. And now there's a shady "uncle" and a little more backstory about the dad.  The journey to Solomon's Mines was just as fun as the first movie's adventure, but again, the real story here was more specific to Flynn Carter's personal journey.  Unravelling those mysteries, and seeing the "uncle's" true colors were more engaging for me.

But it's a fun adventure, so if you like that kind of geek-ery, this one's for you.
