Friday’ openings redux: The isms of sex and age

And so come the amendments to Friday’s movie listings. Along with the films that I mentioned on Monday , the following will also open:

“Battle of the Sexes” : Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (“Little Miss Sunshine”) directed this sports drama based on the real-life 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs (Emma Stone and Steve Carell star as the principal players). No love lost between these two.

“Victoria and Abdul” : Judi Dench and Ali Fazal (“Bollywood Hero”) star as the real-life odd couple Queen Victoria and her young Indian clerk. Not quite Oscar and Felix, but …

“The Princess and the Frog” : Another in the Disney “Dream Big, Princess” marathon, this 2009 animated film centers on a young woman who is convinced that kissing a frog will turn him back into a prince. Yeah, heard that one before.

Now go, see a movie. Buy some popcorn. And enjoy.
