Follow Your Dreams

After retrieving the philosophical stone in an auction but losing his girlfriend, the librarian Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) has a breakdown and Charlene (Jane Curtin) and Judson (Bob Newhart) ask him to spend some days on vacation. Flynn travels to New Orleans and he has a crush on the French singer Simone Renoir (Stana Katic); however she discloses that she is the guardian of a key to access the Judas Chalice that is capable to resurrect vampires. Meanwhile the former Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Kubichek (Dikran Tulaine) is seeking the chalice to revive the vampire Vlad with the support of Professor Lazlo (Bruce Davison) and raise an army of undead to bring Russia back to the top of the world. When Simone reveals that she is a vampire, Flynn question whether she is not using him to reach the chalice and increase her power.

"The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice" is another entertaining and amusing movie of the librarian Flynn Carsen, a sort of combination of Indiana Jones and 007. The story is very funny, with vampires, full of action and the gorgeous and sexy Stana Katic in the role of a 403 year-old vampire. Fans of adventure will certainly enjoy this film. My vote is six.
