Daylight saving time is a concept that appears rather simple on paper: The clock jumps one hour forward or backward biannually. However, despite its supposed simplicity, the impact of this “springing forward” and “falling back” has led to some controversy.
The newly released 2026 adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel “Wuthering Heights,” directed by Emerald Fennel, is likely the most infuriating attempt at adapting a classic novel I have ever watched. It acts in contrast to everything the novel does right, has nothing to say and handles its darker elements with a surprising lack of grace.
The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Arts hosted the 2026 Auburn Forum for Southern Art and Culture as an all-day event on Feb. 7. The event ran from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., featuring a series of exhibitions, speakers and other explorations of art originating from or inspired by the South, alongside its usual art displays. Entry to the event was free and various artists and speakers came to further explain their work.
“Iron Lung” is a must-see for any fans of unique horror, especially eldritch horror, and its smaller scale doesn’t hold it back from being an ambitious movie and a perfect example of what a dedicated team can accomplish on a shoestring budget and a solid concept.
In 2008, animation studio Pixar released an animated feature called "WALL-E," following a string of eight consecutive Oscar nominees, making up the studio’s golden age. Unlike those films, this was not about talking animals, sentient toys or lovable monsters. Instead, "WALL-E" was a space opera, an environmental piece and most importantly, a romance. Through a mix of clever homages to classic love stories such as “Hello, Dolly!,” as well as the movie's masterful use of cinema as a language, Pixar manages to create a beautiful dynamic between the two leads. For these reasons and more, I cannot help but recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic movie to watch this Valentine's Day.
