Country singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves has laid out plans for the most extensive tour of her career: Called the Deeper Well World Tour, it will include not one but two nights at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday, November 22 and Saturday, November 23.

The tour, which kicks with a two-week European leg in April and May, will start in North America on September 4 in State College, Pennsylvania. She will play 35 shows in 29 cities, with Dallas one of six cities getting multiple concerts.

That list also includes Austin, where Musgraves will play on November 26 and 27.

The only other Texas city, Houston, is scheduled for one concert on November 21.

She'll be joined by Lord Huron and Nickel Creek at all three Texas stops.

The tour is in support of Musgraves' fifth studio album, Deeper Well, due out March 15. She is scheduled for a slew of promotional appearances ahead of the release, including her third visit to Saturday Night Live on March 2, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 14, and NBC’s TODAY show on March 15.

All four of Musgraves' previous studio albums have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country charts, and the top 4 on the overall Billboard 200. Her third album, Golden Hour, earned her the distinction of being only the third artist to take home Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, Country Music Association Awards, and Academy of Country Music Awards.

American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets for the Deeper Well World Tour in select markets before the general public beginning on Tuesday, March 5 at 10am local time through Thursday, March 7. at 10pm local time.

Movie Review

Chris Hemsworth tries to steal diamonds and hearts in Crime 101

Chris Hemsworth in Crime 101.

The career of actor Chris Hemsworth is a curious one, as it feels like he’s a huge star (mostly from playing Thor in Marvel movies) and not at the same time, with most of the non-MCU movies featuring him in a lead role failing to become big successes. But he still has a certain presence about him, which is why he’s being given another chance to prove his star power in the new thriller, Crime 101.

Hemsworth plays Davis, a talented thief who knows how to get what he wants without resorting to violence. When a job early in the movie turns slightly sideways, it makes him think twice about working with his handler (Nick Nolte), who seems to prefer someone with a stronger touch, like the up-and-coming Ormon (Barry Keoghan).

Davis is the main character, but two others who come into his orbit get their own subplots. Lou (Mark Ruffalo) is a slightly schlubby LAPD detective who’s convinced he knows the pattern of an unknown thief that likes to hit places close to Highway 101. Sharon (Halle Berry) works for a high-end insurance agency known for working with ultra-wealthy clients, the types who might be a great target for a thief like Davis.

Written and directed by Bart Layton, the film has a decent propulsion to it that comes with most crime thrillers. Davis and Ormon represent the yin and the yang of criminal approaches, and and it’s interesting to see the juxtaposition between the two as their simmering rivalry heats up over the course of the film. When the film commits to actually showing its crimes, it has an excitement that’s worth watching.

Unfortunately, Layton displays a real lack of focus, taking the audience into subplots with each of the three main characters that prove unnecessarily distracting. Lou’s marriage problems may explain his disheveled appearance, but there’s no need to see him deal with them with wife Angie (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Sharon’s troubles with her male-dominated company prove slightly pivotal, but still don’t merit the time put into exploring them.

The most baffling subplot is Davis pursuing a relationship with Maya (Monica Barbaro), a woman he randomly meets. At different points in the movie, including many of his interactions with Maya, Davis seems like the most uncomfortable, antisocial person in the world. And yet he somehow morphs into a suave smooth-talker who’s able to convince anyone to do what he wants at other key points, making it unclear exactly what kind of person he really is.

Hemsworth does relatively well in the lead role, but he’s still missing that certain something to make his character, and therefore the movie, truly compelling. The rest of the cast is fine, too, but each of them seem to be putting in just the minimal amount of effort to make the film watchable. Ruffalo and Barbaro come off the best, but with the talent in the cast (11 Oscar nominations and one win), they could have been used better.

Crime 101 has most of the ingredients to be another great entry in the genre, and it succeeds when it actually decides to deliver on its promise. But too much of the film is spent on things that have no real bearing on plot or character development, leaving the movie in the middle of the pack.
