SUMMARY:ET's Movie Matinee: The Hound of the Baskervilles
DESCRIPTION:Registration is required to attend this event! To sign up\, please visit the link under Event Website! \nIf you love free movie screenings with others\, then come to the Etowah Library today for ET’s Movie Matinee! Today’s presentation features The Hound of the Baskervilles! We set our stage on Baker Street\, London\, England\, in the year 1902. One grisly night\, Doctor Richard Mortimer recounts the legend of the hell hound that killed Sir Hugo Baskerville to one Sherlock Holmes. The doctor pleads with Mr. Holmes to investigate the death of his friend\, Sir Charles Baskerville\, citing the curse of the hell hound as the cause. Though Holmes is skeptical at first\, he and Mr. Watson agree to meet up with Baskerville’s nephew and heir\, Sir Henry. Little do they know what trouble brews on the other side of this mystery… \nMovie trivia: did you know this 1959 movie had it’s fair share of controversy? It’s true! The Conan Doyle estate and the movie’s producer\, Hammer Film Productions\, argued about the changes the movie made to the original book and tried to stop the movie from releasing. Hammer Film Productions published it anyway. Actor Peter Cushing\, who played Holmes in the movie\, stated that he\, “…felt the character of Holmes remained intact.” \n

SUMMARY:Cinema on the Square: The Wild Robot
DESCRIPTION:If you love free movie screenings in an outdoor setting\, come to the Grovemont Park tonight for Cinema on the Square\, featuring Dreamworks’ The Wild Robot! A frightful storm causes a Universal Dynamics cargo ship to lose a shipment of ROZZUM robots. However\, one robot washes up on the shore of an uninhabited island. As the lone survivor of the storm\, “Roz” wakes up when the local animals accidentally reactivate her. After multiple mishaps make her seem less like a monster to the animals\, Roz finds her place on the island as a surrogate mother to a young gosling. What follows is a story of found family\, sacrifice\, and love of the truest form. \nParticipants may purchase light refreshments onsite\, but please arrive early to secure your spot on the lawn. With thanks to the sponsors of Cinema on the Square: Friends and Neighbors of Swannanoa (FANS)\, the Swannanoa Community Council\, and the Friends of the Swannanoa Library.
