SUMMARY:ET's Movie Matinee: Jaws
DESCRIPTION:Registration is required to attend this event! To sign up\, please visit the link under Event Website! \nIf you love free movie screenings and enjoy watching the classics\, come to the Etowah Library today for ET’s Movie Matinee! Today’s feature presents Jaws\, the iconic summer blockbuster that shook audiences with its stunning effects and horrifying mechanical shark. Amity Island: an idyllic beach located in New England\, where nothing can go wrong. But when the remains of a missing woman wash up on the beach\, the town panics. Local law enforcement chalks it up to a horrifying boating accident and reopens the beach\, but the terror that lurks beneath the waves has only just begun. \nMovie trivia: Jaws was the first major motion picture to be shot on the ocean! This caused the production to go over time and budget\, mainly because the mechanical shark kept malfunctioning in the water.

SUMMARY:Movie Matinee- Mufasa: The Lion King
DESCRIPTION:Do you love movies? Interested in having the big-screen experience without the cost of a movie theater? Then come to the Hendersonville Main Branch Library today for Movie Matinee! Today’s feature presentation is Mufasa: The Lion King. \nHave you ever wondered what makes a king of the Pride Lands? Kiara\, Simba and Nala’s young cub\, certainly does. When her parents leave her in the care of Rafiki\, the old mandrill tells her the story of Kiara’s grandfather\, Mufasa. As an orphaned lion cub\, Mufasa wanders the wetlands near Pride Rock\, searching for his parents. Were it not for the kindness of a royal lion named Taka\, crocodiles would have killed him. The reigning king and queen of Pride Rock begrudgingly take a young Mufasa in\, teaching him the skills he needs as a lion of the Pride Lands. But what happens when Mufasa\, the pitiful orphaned cub\, starts to outshine his brother\, Taka? \n

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
