PHS Moe's Fundraiser, NY Film Critics Series on Wednesday

Calling all movie goers and film buffs. Wednesday is the kick off for the NY Film Critics Series at Clearview-Bow-Tie Movie Theater in Parsippany.

The series is eight weeks of the season’s best films with live discussion with expert hosts, cast and filmmakers, according to the Patch event listing. 

It starts at 7 p.m. every Wednesday night from Oct. 9 - Dec. 4. There is no screening on Nov. 27 because of Thanksgiving.

The Opening Night film is ‘Twelve Years a Slave,’ which is “based on an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom. In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery … In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) will forever alter his life,” according to the NY Film Critics Series.

The cost for the eight weeks is $219 plus a $20 registration fee. Orders may include multiple people, according to the website.

Also, eat at Moe’s this Wednesday and support local students.

The Parsippany High School Cross Country Girls and Boys team is hosting a Red Hawk night at Moe’s Southwest Grill on Route 46 in Parsippany.

The fundraiser will benefit their upcoming end-of-the-year Awards Banquet. Present this flyer to the cashier and 15 percent of your total sales will be given to the PHS Cross Country Team.
