VICTORIA & ABDUL (PG13)
The extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years
of Queen Victoria's (Academy Award winner Judi Dench) remarkable rule. When
Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), a young clerk, travels from India to participate in
the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favor with the Queen
herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position,
the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another
that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy. As the
friendship deepens, the Queen begins to see a changing world through new
eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity.
Critics Consensus: Victoria & Abdul reunites Dame Judi Dench with the role
of Queen Victoria -- which is all this period drama needs.

potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads
him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade
runner who has been missing for 30 years.
Critics Consensus: Visually stunning and narratively satisfying, Blade
Runner 2049deepens and expands its predecessor's story while standing as an
impressive filmmaking achievement in its own right.

BATTLE OF THE SEXES (PG13)
In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women's movement,
the 1973 tennis match between women's World #1 Billie Jean King (Emma Stone)
and ex-men's-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) was billed
as the BATTLE OF THE SEXES and became one of the most watched televised
sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world. As
the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear, off-court each was
fighting more personal and complex battles. The fiercely private King was
not only championing for equality, but also struggling to come to terms with
her own sexuality, as her friendship with Marilyn Barnett (Andrea
Riseborough) developed. And Riggs, one of the first self-made media-age
celebrities, wrestled with his gambling demons, at the expense of his family
and wife Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue). Together, Billie and Bobby served up a
cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis court, sparking
discussions in bedrooms and boardrooms that continue to reverberate today.

Critics Consensus: Battle of the Sexes turns real-life events into a
crowd-pleasing, well-acted dramedy that ably entertains while smartly
serving up a volley of present-day parallels.

Stranded after a tragic plane crash, two strangers must forge a connection

realize help is not coming, they embark on a perilous journey across
hundreds of miles of wilderness, pushing one another to endure and
discovering strength they never knew possible. The film is directed by
Academy Award nominee Hany Abu-Assad and stars Academy Award winner Kate
Winslet and Idris Elba.

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO

Well, finally, VICTORIA & ABDUL!!
Many moviegoers don't understand what a "platform release" is, and its gets
frustrating to everyone waiting for a particular movie to come to Decatur
when all the ads say "Now Playing Everywhere".which usually means only key
markets.
I think many of you thought it wasn't going to come here at all!
BUT.HERE IT IS!!
And.it's ONLY at THE AVON too!

As far as the "BIG story" out of Hollywood this week?
The only comment I have is:
"O, how the mighty have fallen."
Which is, of course, the Biblical quote (2 Samuel 1:25) that ALL of those in
powerful positions should remember.
