The spear entry was one of the stronger ones of the three. What did you think of the other two? It is a fun adventure series. A likable take off on Indiana Jones.

Here is my take on all three movies with lots of pics and a littel wit if you are interested:

[...] since my original post about Librarian: Quest For The Spear I have had a chance to watch the other two movies in the series, Librarian: Return to King [...]

I was told, a few months back, abou the Warehouse 13 series, which sounds really interesting! It seems to have made at least some inroads into “popular culture” in a way that anthropologists might like to look at.

The Syfy (damn their renaming) is showing a new series called “Warehouse 13″, in which the principals belong to an off-the-books Secret Service unit that recovers “artifacts” (=powerful artifacts that belonged to famous people or ancient cultures of various kinds) to store them where their supernatural powers can be contained.

It’s been entertaining, especially the stuff they end up using in their work (deco iPod-looking “Farnsworth” communicators, Tesla ray-guns). The few “ancient culture” plots have been weak — sub-”Temple of Doom”.

Also, I recommend the Tony Hillerman books, many of which were made into PBS TV movies with Wes Studi and Adam Beach.

Don’t forget Relic Hunter

Here’s a couple more to add to the genre list:

King Solomon’s Mines (1985, with Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone) and its sequel, Alan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold (1986, Chamberlain and Stone return, this time with James Earl Jones).

Firewalker (1986, with Chuck Norris and Louis Gossett Jr.)

All three are tongue-in-cheek and amusing if you are in the right mood.

There is a small genre:

Tales of the Gold Monkey (TV series)
Romancing the Stone & Jewel of the Nile
The Mummy (and sequels)
Tomb Raider (and sequels)
Stargate (and franchise)
Timeline
Fool’s Gold (maybe…)

..and possibly
National Treasure (and sequel)
the Dan Brown stuff…

If The Librarian movies offend your archeological sensibilities, try viewing them as a librarian! Wyle doesn’t even have an MLS!
