THE WAY Plus a Classic Thriller Play This Weekend at The Forum

This weekend The Forum continues to screen THE WAY, starring Martin Sheen on Friday (Veterans Day) Matinee at 2PM and 7:30PM Saturday and Sunday 4:30

"The beauty of the movie, in fact, is that Mr. Estevez does not make explicit what any of them find, beyond friendship. He lets these four fine actors convey that true personal transformations are not announced with fanfare, but happen internally."
New York Times

The Way is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges we face while navigating this ever changing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to St. Jean Pied de Port, France to collect The Remains of his adult son (played by Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking The Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on, is the profound impact the journey will have on him and his "California Bubble Life". Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey.

Crystal Plumage Films and The Forum Theatre Present A Thriller/Horror Double Feature

THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE
In his first film as writer/director, Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, DEEP RED, TWO EVIL EYES) single-handedly created the giallo genre and instantly emerged as the filmmaker critics worldwide hailed as 'The Italian Hitchcock'. Tony Musante (TRAFFIC, OZ) and Suzy Kendall (CIRCUS OF FEAR, TORSO) star in this pulse-pounding suspense thriller about an American writer in Rome who witnesses - and is helpless to stop - a brutal assault, the cunning vengeance of a maniac, and the heart-stopping horror that lives - and kills - deep in the dark.

STREET TRASH
When a liquor store owner finds a case of "Viper" in his cellar, he decides to sell it to the local hobos at one dollar a bottle, unaware of its true properties. The drinks causes its consumers to melt, very messily. Two homeless lads find themselves up against the effects of the toxic brew, as well as going head to head with "Bronson" a Vietnam vet with sociopathic tendencies, and the owner of the junkyard they live in.

All seats $13

The Forum Theatre Arts Center (FTAC) has been central New Jersey's cultural arts hub since 1928 when it was built as a theatre and vaudeville tryout house. Eventually, the FTAC became the neighborhood movie house. In 1983, the theatre was purchased by Marlowe Enterprises, a Metuchen-based corporation and operated by Entr'Acte, Inc. (a non-profit 501c3 corp.) for the next 23 years. At the height of its success, the FTAC was a thriving regional theater, presenting hundreds of American and World Premieres with an emphasis on musical theatre, as well as numerous A-list concert events and children's shows. The FTAC took a two-year hiatus and reopened in June 2009 newly committed to providing opportunities for all children to participate and learn through the art of theatre. We are pleased to announce the FTAC has been restored to its original glory, serving as the cultural focal point of central New Jersey.
