From “The Drama” to “The Odyssey” and, in just a f From “The Drama” to “The Odyssey” and, in just a few months, “Dune: Part Three,” it’s safe to say that Robert Pattinson has been on a generational run. Despite taking up roles that place his acting range on full display, the last thing anyone would have thought was for him to play America’s most famous predator catcher. As ludicrous as it sounds, Pattinson’s dedication to the bit, along with director Lance Oppenheim’s proficiency of the psychological thriller genre, has resulted in what may be one of the most interesting films of 2026.

Films and filmmakers have had a long fascination w Films and filmmakers have had a long fascination with journalism, capturing and highlighting multiple facets of the profession. For some directors, the idea of freedom of press has been portrayed as something to be celebrated and defended at all cost, while others have focused on the obsessive nature of reporting and media. In recognition of The Highlander’s 75th anniversary, the following is a list of films about journalism worth engaging with.

Considering UCR has a mix of different genders, ethnicities and sexualities among the student body, why has the headliner position of arguably the biggest school coordinated event reserved for only male performers?

Block Party is an annual concert held by the Associated Students Program Board (ASPB). The student run organization is funded by fees charged to each individual student quarterly. Every fall since 1999, three artists and one DJ perform on campus during welcome week to create the first taste of independence for many freshman students. It is a highly attended event that runs out of spots for entries days before anticipated.
