Free movies to screen at library

Free PG movies will be shown at 2:30 p.m. today and July 19 at Marion City Library.

The library contractually cannot release the films’ names. However, today’s movie involves a high school student named Tripp who befriends an otherworldly creature that crawls inside his pickup truck and acts as a supercharged engine, as Tripp and the monster team up to stop an evil oil company from wreaking havoc on their town.

In the July 19 movie, a Tibetan mastiff must defy naysayers in his remote mountain community to follow his dream of becoming a rock star like his idol, Angus Scattergood. However, there’s no one left to guard the sheep when he goes away to seek his fortune in the big city, rendering his flock vulnerable to a hungry wolf.
