Love the new librarians. (0 more)

While watching this season it became apparent very quickly that it was a story that in some ways branched off from the film. The original librarian was off on his own adventure and this season was very much about the the three new ones and the guardian. There is a math wiz with a grape in her brain that gives her a 3D out of brain view of all things math which makes it easier to solve puzzles, there is a thief that can get in any where and also a architect/art history buff that can tell you what anything art related is or where it came from. Basically they have gotten the key aspect of the original librarian and split it in to three people and enhanced it by a thousand. If you like love mystery, action or just a good laugh there is every thing in this program.

Going by the trailers for this film the studio behind this was going for a modern up to date take on the buddy/cop movies like (48 hours,Lethal Weapon) and they actually managed to pull it off.On the one hand you have the hard as nails cop (Bautista) seeking revenge for his partners death and on the other the comedic one liners of the sidekick (Kamani)

The relationship starts off rocky at first but by the end they are the best of friends.We also get the amazing martial art skills of uko iwais (though hes only on screen at the beginning and end of the movie)

Plot wise with this film,well it's been done a million times before with greater success and a few of the jokes fall flat but still an entertaining movie.

Movie Rating
Latter-day Almodóvar movie doesn't have the warmth or lightness of most of his best films, but retains an undeniable emotional power. Julieta (Adriana Ugarte and then Emma Suarez) meets a man and falls in love, loses him, and struggles to resolve her relationship with her daughter. The themes of the movie include the danger of secrets, the cruel randomness of fate, and the corrosive effects of despair and isolation, and this is certainly a very poignant film; tough to watch in places.

However, Almodóvar's deftness remains unimpaired and the two lead actresses give superb performances, remaining fully sympathetic even when the character is less than entirely accessible. Some may find the style of the film a bit overblown, even a touch camp, and others may miss the cheery transgressiveness and humour of earlier Almodóvar projects. But on its own terms this is a very successful and impressive piece of art.
