The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice

THE LIBRARIAN: CURSE OF THE JUDAS CHALICE (2008) - June 7, 2009
Another kind of mediocre but basically entertaining entry in the Librarian series. This one finds the Librarian in New Orleans, seeking out the Judas Chalice -- a cup that will supposedly revive dead vampires. Like the other films in this series, this never quite lives up to its potential, thanks mostly to the ultra-low budget which permeates every facet of this movie. Noah Wyle is as charming and charismatic as ever, and in fact all the performances are quite passable -- the main problem with this film (and the series as a whole) is how low-rent it tends to feel, and the less-than-stellar screenplay (it's written by the guy who directed the Love Guru, so I guess I should just be glad that the film is as good as it is). **1/2
