TNT picked up The Librarians for a 10 ep long TV series to be aired in late 2014! But the hammer? It's made by the people behind Leverage, Dean Devlin and John Rogers, and CHRISTIAN frickin' KANE is in it!!! Noah Wyle, the original Librarian, is executing and recurring and Rebecca Romijn is the lead! HUZZAH, folks, HUZZAH!!!

The Librarians centers on an ancient organization hidden beneath the Metropolitan Public Library that solves impossible mysteries, fights supernatural threats and recovers powerful artifacts from around the world. For the past 10 years, Flynn Carsen (Wyle) has served as the Librarian, collecting and protecting these artifacts and preventing them from falling into the wrong hands. But as great as Flynn is, the job of Librarian has become more than one person can handle. To aid him in his duties, the Library has recruited four people from around the world: Eve Baird (Romijn), a highly skilled counter-terrorism agent who is responsible for protecting the group and keeping them all alive; Jake Stone (Kane), an Oklahoma oil worker with an IQ of 190 and an encyclopedic knowledge of art history; Cassandra (Booth), a quirky young woman with the special gift of auditory and sensory hallucinations linked to memory retrieval, known as synesthesia; and Ezekiel Jones (Kim), a master of new technologies and aficionado of old classic crimes who enjoys playing the role of international man of mystery. Overseeing the new team of Librarians is the cantankerous Jenkins (Larroquette), an expert in ancient lore who has been working out of the Library’s branch office for longer than anyone knows. Together, they must tangle with many adversaries, chief of whom is the Serpent Brotherhood, an ancient cult led by the mysterious immortal Dulaque (Frewer).

More over on Deadline, the source of this news (which can't be linked or LJ will refused this post, pah!)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I was already looking forward to this show but with Romijn and Kane - who played siblings in King & Maxwell - I can't bloody wait!!!

Title: Frozen (2013)

Cast: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad etc.

Rating: 4/5 or 8/10

I decided to finally see what the hoopla was about. And I liked it, there were quite a few really intense, action-filled moments. But overall? I'm not sure why this particular animated movie became so popular. Personally, I liked Tangled or How to Train Your Dragon better.

My favorite parts? Kristoff and Sven, hands down, both as kids and as adults. They were simply sweet. And I loved Kristoff and Anna's scenes, they were so funny and cute together.

My least favorite parts? Elsa and her issues. Like, seriously, they had the whole palace to themselves, with just a handful of trusted servants at hand. Was it really that difficult to give Elsa one huge hall to practice her powers and get them under control? Did she really just sit the whole 10 years or so in her room, brooding and bemoaning her powers? Or if her parents didn't think it safe for her to practice in the castle itself, why didn't they take her into the mountains to practice there? Maybe even with the help of the trolls? This was an easily fixable problem that bad parenting and self-hatred turned into a huge issue for no reason at all.

Overall, a really good, enjoyable movie. But it kinda scares me that so many people identify with Elsa. But that's just me - when I have a problem, I deal with it because no one else will do it for me.
