With movie awards season in full swing, Jane Campion’s Bright Star appears to have faded from memory. (Sorry!) Night & Day wasn’t the biggest fan of this bio of John Keats and the woman he loved, but the performances, the visuals, and Mark Bradshaw’s music still merit a viewing. The movie shows Sat-Sun at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St, FW. Tickets are $6.50-8.50. Call 817-738-9215.

With the dead week between Christmas and New Year’s upon us, now might be a good time to check out the new exhibit at the National Cowgirl Museum.

The show closes right after the New Year, so get to it now. The exhibit runs thru Jan 3 at 1720 Gendy St, FW. Admission is $7-8. Call 817-336-4475.
