Three "Movie Nights in the Park" to Go

The second of four summer 2011 "Gloucester Township Movie Nights at the Park" will be held Thursday, July 14.

The next "Movie Nights at the Park" will feature Despicable Me, an animated film starring Steve Carell as the voice of career criminal Gru, who uses three orphan girls in a crime plot—that is, until he finds the girls' love and affection have softened him up to the point he just can't go through with the plan.

The Universal Pictures/Illumination Entertainment movie also includes the voices of Jason Segel and Russell Brand.

"Movie Nights" are free.

Despicable Me, which is rated PG, will begin at around 8:30 p.m., according to Recreation Department co-director Bill Fagan.

The movies are shown at Lt. Col. Samuel M. Siler Veterans Memorial Park.

There will be plenty for kids to do beforehand, though, beginning at 7:30, including games and chances to win small prizes.

The rain date is July 15.

Doppler Financial Inc.-Allstate Agency is the sponsor of the July 14 event.

The final two "Movie Nights" are scheduled for Aug. 18 (rain date Aug. 19) and Sept. 16 (Sept. 23). Those movies will be selected at a later date, Fagan said.
