Atlanta - "In The Lost Lands":
Superstar wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista says he's channeling his "inner Clint Eastwood" in the new epic fantasy "In the Lost Lands," opening in theaters on Friday.
Directed by "Resident Evil" filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson and based on a short story by author George R.R. Martin (whose books inspired the hit show "Game of Thrones"), "In the Lost Lands" tells the story of witch Gray Alys (played by "The Fifth Element" star Milla Jovovich), who's forced to journey through a dark and dangerous landscape alongside Bautista's sharpshooting drifter.
Says Anderson of the film's obvious Western influence, "When I read 'In The Lost Lands,' it was two things. One, it was an adult fairy tale; it's got a story that tells you, 'Be careful what you wish for.' But then, also, I felt that the story really followed a lot of tropes of the Western."
Adds Bautista, "When I started reading [the character] Boyce, I was like, 'He's a cowboy; this is a Western.' That was the way I approached it. That was the way I thought of the whole film, you know? He's a gunslinger."
For Jovovich, meanwhile, the key to finding Gray Alys was less Old West and more Ancient Greece.
"I've always been a huge fan of mythology," says the actress. "And, for me, Gray Alys really represented a mythological creature come to life.
"In the Lost Lands" opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, March 7 from Vertical Entertainment; to hear more from the film's director and stars, click the video player in this article.
Jennifer Coolidge stars in the dark comedy "Riff Raff":
Fresh off a pair of Emmy wins for her scene-stealing work in the HBO Original Series "The White Lotus," Jennifer Coolidge returns in another ensemble project filled with twisted relationships and uncovered family secrets.
Coolidge stars in the dark comedy "Riff Raff" from Roadside Attractions, alongside a powerhouse cast including Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Pete Davidson, and Bill Murray. Coolidge plays Ruth, the foul-mouthed ex-wife of an ex-criminal (Harris) — and while most of her lines are outrageous (and unrepeatable on a news website), the actress says audiences aren't even hearing the worst of it!
"There was a very, very filthy line in this movie," says Coolidge. "It was such a funny moment, but incredibly crude. And I was like, 'Oh, are we going to do it?' And I don't know how they decided, or did I decide I couldn't do it, whatever…but now I have regrets. Because it really crossed the line, and I think we should have maybe left it in. But, you know, it was filthy. Filthy."
"Riff Raff" is playing in theaters nationwide now.

The fiery red designs contrast with the pink and blue base, adding a touch of flair (ahem, flare) to the manicure. Cat-eye nail designs have become popular in every shade and design, including these muted colors. Apply a cat-eye magnetic gel polish, then create the swirls by hovering a magnet above the nails in a circular motion. There's something alien-esque about these pink nails with silver chrome detailing. If you're not a pink person, use any other color for your base (just make sure the silver will still pop!). Jelly nails for summer? Yes please. Paint them a Barbie pink color for ultimate summer vibes. Read the original article on Byrdie

Albuquerque Reliques: Downtown hawk sculpture symbolizing the west
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) — Across from the Rail Runner station in downtown Albuquerque, there's a 24-foot-tall sculpture made entirely of car doors. The piece, called 'Auto Hawk,' is meant to represent the West and its freedom. Christopher Fennell is a sculptor who moved from Georgia to Albuquerque after graduating from college. He says Auto Hawk was partly inspired by the ravens he saw while hiking the Sandia – specifically, the 'rough-looking' ones missing feathers. He says he decided to use car doors for the sculpture, given that it's located outside of a parking deck. 'And so I thought, okay, parking deck materials, cars,' said Fennell. 'And then I started thinking about how car doors open and how they're kind of like a wing and how if you did a bunch of them, they would look like feathers.' Auto Hawk came to be when the city put out a call for artists. Fennell submitted his portfolio, and from there, he was invited to walk the site with city officials and talk with nearby community members. Then, it was time to brainstorm. For Auto Hawk, Fennell drafted up drawings to present to the city council. After his concept was selected, he signed the contract and started building. The piece is meant to encompass the idea of Western freedom, particularly the free-spirited people of Albuquerque, and how 'we all got to stick together.' Albuquerque Reliques is a web series taking a look at landmarks, art, and oddities in the area. Pt I. – Pt. II – Story behind the 'Transformers' sculptures downtown Pt. III – A mural at Civic Plaza representing resiliency Pt. IV – Fennel's experience with sculptures began decades ago. 'In 2000, I was getting a master's in sculpture at the University of Georgia, and I saw a barn falling down that looked like a wave to me,' said Fennell. 'And so I took the barn down and built a wave in front of the art department, and people liked it. And then I took 120 bicycles and made a tornado of bicycles. And that sort of set me on my path of building big things out of recycled material.' He added that he enjoys working around 24-feet because it's 'big enough that you feel the presence of God, but small enough that it's intimate.' One way Fennell garners inspiration is through nature, specifically caving. He jokes that 'my pieces of artwork are just me going out.' As for how these massive sculptures stay together, Fennell has a background in mechanical engineering. He says that's partly how he's learned to build big things that stand up and stay up. One struggle Fennell has run into is finding scrap yards that are willing to work with artists. 'It's weird. Salvage yards don't like artists because they're just weirdos that are going to, you know, go look for one little thing that's interesting, and there's no money to be made,' said Fennell. 'So most places, like most junk dealers, will not deal with artists.' Fennell is now living in Birmingham, Alabama, where he has an art studio in the ruins of Republic Steel – an abandoned steel mill that has become a haven for artists. Although he's a few states away, he's still doing work in New Mexico. Currently, he's working on a fire station in Las Cruces. 'It is two pillars, 17 feet tall, with fire hydrants on top. And then between the two pillars is a 14-foot-tall ball of fire made of decommissioned fire ladders,' said Fennell. 'I did one like this in Allen, Texas, north of Dallas. But this one I made spiky, because everything in the desert is kind of spiky.' You can view Fennell's work on his website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
