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.</span></b><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span class="m8709642904708036369gmail-m5589650166141017532gmail-m1101743843771486360gmail-m-3624296801925898784gmail-subtle"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#787878;background:#FEF7CD'>Critics Consensus:</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#333333;background:#FEF7CD'> <em><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Battle of the Sexes</span></em> turns real-life events into a crowd-pleasing, well-acted dramedy that ably entertains while smartly serving up a volley of present-day parallels.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#073763'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:14.4pt'><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>BATTLE OF THE SEXES </span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>(PG13)</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><br><b>FRI: (4:00) – 7:00<br>SAT & SUN: (1:00) – (4:00) – 7:00<br>MON thru THURS: 6:30</b></span><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:14.4pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br></span><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>STEPHEN KING’S NEW INSTANT CLASSIC!!<br><span style='color:red'>ARE YOU READY FOR “IT”??</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:red'>“IT”’s READY FOR YOU!!<br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><img border=0 width=349 height=217 id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image006.jpg@01D33D31.5A58D7A0" alt="it_ver3quad.JPG"></span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Stephen King’s IT</span></u></b><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> (R)<br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#333333'>New Line Cinema's horror thriller "IT," directed by Andy Muschietti ("Mama"), is based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades.
