The film starts off promising enough, with an intriguing and unusually direct conversation between Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and series villain Gellert Grindlewald (Mads Mikkelsen, taking over for the disgraced Johnny Depp). I’m sad to report that the third film, The Secrets of Dumbledore, continues that unfortunate trend, even with Steve Kloves - who wrote all but one of the Harry Potter movies - taking over for J.K.
Neither of the first two films managed to capture the allure that the eight Potter films did, with a focus on complex storytelling instead of the basics that made the original series so appealing.
Ladies receive free entry on Wednesdays.It has been a bumpy start for the Fantastic Beasts series, a Harry Potter spinoff that centers on Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), who has an affinity for all sorts of creatures with strange abilities. However, there's free admission on Tuesdays with a DFW Metroplex ID and on Thursdays with a college ID. Ilene's expert tip: Note that there is a charge of $2-$5 just to enter, not including admission to concerts and rodeos. Recommended for Country Western Bars because: A visit to the DFW Metroplex isn't complete without a stop at this Fort Worth icon. And, yes, they have dance lessons (Sunday, Monday Wednesday and Thursday) here too.
Plus, there's a house band that plays Wednesday through Saturday and live pro bull riding on offer every weekend. Oh, and talk about live music, this place is known for hosting some of the biggest names in rock and country music, from Willie Nelson to ZZ Top and Ringo Starr. It's so massive that it can accommodate 6,000 people at a time. Billed as the world's largest honky-tonk, Billy Bob's covers almost 3-acres and boasts over 30 bar stations, a Texas-size dance floor, an indoor rodeo arena, a restaurant, a gift shop, arcade games and country music memorabilia galore. Sure, it's touristy and gimmicky, but if you really want to get your urban cowboy shtick on, this legendary country and western venue in the Fort Worth Stockyards is where to do it. Whether you want to kick up your heels on a dance floor or just hang back with a cold one and listen to good music, consider this your ultimate boot-scootin' bucket list. Of course, we'd be remiss not to include Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, it's a must-see attraction even if you’re not a country music fan. There's also Poor David's Pub, another legendary venue where Sara Hickman and The Dixie Chicks got their start. Not to mention, all the shows are free for the taking. Even Jack Ingram and Miranda Lambert have performed there. Speaking of live music, Adair's Saloon brings in the cream of the country music crop when it comes to up-and-coming indie bands and singer-songwriter acts. Those looking for dance floor action will want to head over to Cowboys Dancehall–where they'll find plenty of room to strut their stuff to live country music all weekend. But that's not to say locals don't enjoy embracing their inner cowboy (or cowgirl), especially when it comes to two-steppin' at the city's best country music bars. And rather than being at home on the range, Dallas' real Cowboys are playing football on a field. Contrary to popular belief, Dallas isn't actually a town of 10-gallon hats, oil derricks and cattle ranches.
