Alex Lines

Buried beneath blood, bullets and the pressures of being a family man, Cliff (Scoot McNairy) finds himself in a tough spot at the beginning of Rod Blackhurst‘s snow-capped noir Blood for Dust. Unfolding in Montana in the early 1990s, Cliff, a struggling traveling salesman, has his dull, daily life punctured by a chance encounter with an old colleague, Ricky (a wily Kit Harington), that diverts his path from hocking hospital equipment to flipping guns.

Monday, the first of what will likely be many non-high school additions to the Texas Tech football roster ahead of 2024 was made when JUCO tight end Alex Lines verbally committed to the Red Raiders. He broke the news on social media. A 6-foot-5, 255-pound native of Arizona, Lines played at Garden City Community College this fall. There he amassed 31 catches for 309 yards and a pair of TDs. However, Lines has some experience at the FBS level of the sport.

Just before the opening film, Gracie Otto’s Seriously Red, officially kicked off CinefestOz 15th Film Festival, the annual Australian celebration of film that takes place in the sea-side tourist destination of Busselton, Western Australia, the parade of speeches and well-wishes from the festival staff, film talent and jury boards all emphasised one thing: a return to “normal”.
