This year, the Arts & Entertainment section was rich with coverage of different types of media, with a keener eye for lesser known works we feel deserves more attention. Music has always been a cornerstone for the section and will continue to be one, but we also want to spread out our content to include other media like literature,...
Summer’s here, and with it comes a whole lotta good stuff. From video games to music to film, The Highlander looks at what’s on the radar of releases this summer.

One of the most important purchases I made during my first Steam sale last year (it took me a long time to get into PC gaming) was a pair of...
The most effective type of horror flick is one which understands the various manifestations of fear. It can manifest in various forms, be it through explicit encounters with monstrous killers or subtle cinematic trickery like a sequence of atmospheric shots. “The Thing,” John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror classic, was the foremost point of reference to strike me upon seeing...
On our final “Things We Enjoyed …” column of the school year, we take a look at the releases that we’ve yet to discuss, yet nonetheless enjoyed as some of the best works released from September 2016 to June 2017.

When most people speak about UCR, there are normally three talking points they focus on. The first is normally about our acclaimed campus diversity. The second is that we have concerts on campus every year, with consistently praised lineups. And the last is that one of our professors has his own show on CNN. That professor is Reza Aslan,...
Empty vodka bottles, clothes on the floor and rearranged furniture leave traces of a party that poses the thought: What happened last night? Fumbling over the furniture and bottles as you trace through the remnants of the party recollecting not what transpired, but rather who were you last night. Lorde, in the sobriety of the morning after, echoes this...
This week’s episode of “Shameless” tops the list as one of their most explicit openings to date. Aside from the first scene panning over a number of naked bodies passed out in the Gallagher household and a local grocery store manager propositioning Fiona (Emmy Rossum) in return for a cashier job, a homeless man is shown doing unspeakable things...

Written by acclaimed journalist and conflict reporting professor at Columbia University Judith Matloff, “No Friends but the...
No spoilers. You’re welcome.
Few games are as deserving of the descriptor “epic” as much as those in the “God of War” series. It plays like a Japanese-developed hack-and-slash but is presented with the grandeur of a Western blockbuster, and that formula is precisely why each game in the series has done well both critically and financially.

The first time I ever listened to Mac DeMarco was during the summer of 2015, just after he released his mini-LP “Another One” and just before I started my first year of college. I first listened to the titular track, “Another One,” as well as a few songs here and there from his 2014 album “Salad Days,” but could...
