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-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><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 & SAT: (3:30) – 7:00<br>SUN: (12:00) – (3:30) <br>MON, TUES & WED: 6:30</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><em><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black;font-style:normal'>+++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>STARTS FRIDAY, OCT. 20<sup>th</sup>!!<br></span></b></em><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><img border=0 width=265 height=393 id="Picture_x0020_13" src="cid:image004.jpg@01D342BD.DB9B8150" alt=MOUNTAINposter.JPG></span></b><em><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black;font-style:normal'><br></span></b></em><b><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US </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></span><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Stranded after a tragic plane crash, two strangers must forge a connection to survive the extreme elements of a remote snow covered mountain.
