Welcome back to the new and improved Input 2. On this week's episode, we will be discussing the newly adapted Slenderman movie. How did this all start and where has it gone since the beginning? How did the movie hold up to the legend behind the Slenderman? All of this and more on this week's episode of Input 2.
‘The House with A Clock in Its Walls’ is a spooktacular Spielberg throwback marred by some iffy effects and poorly-done punch-up. Jack Black and Cate Blanchett absolutely steal the show with a surprising amount of chemistry, the latter adding a necessary sense of heart that the main narrative tries to pull off (to mixed results). Darker than your average Autumn family flick, it makes for a perfect matinee and a potential staple of yearly cable Halloween movie marathons for years to come. Not as well-wound as it should have been, but even a broken clock can still get the time right if the conditions are favorable.
‘Dragalia Lost’ is everything great about JRPG’s combined with everything horrible about mobile games. The characters and art-style are both wonderful, and the gameplay itself is fun and addictive. However, the game is bogged down by a sub-optimal control scheme and horrendous progression that walls you the moment you really start getting into the game. It’s definitely worth a try, but once it starts demanding cash, tell it to get lost.
“Pilot” serves its purpose to establish the procedural nature of ‘God Friended Me.’ The episode itself, however, doesn’t give confidence that this series will have a long lifespan. Somewhere buried underneath all of the cringey dialogue, terrible acting, contrived plot points, there’s a solid core that has potential to make an interesting show discussing religion and social media. That, however, would be too complex and unique for a primetime CBS show. It may be fun to watch as something fascinatingly bad, but that doesn’t actually make it good.
Amplified: A Conversation with Women in American Film Sound, was created through Ball State’s Virginia Ball Center for Creative Inquiry and crewed by a total of 14 Ball State students. The film celebrates the women who work in Hollywood’s sound departments. From Foley artists to sound editors, Amplified gives a platform to 30 different women working in the male dominated film industry, allowing them to tell their unique stories.
Few individuals have become so synonymous with the title "rock star" as Queen's Freddie Mercury. The group's late lead singer was famed for his intense charisma, his musicality, and his bitter fight with AIDS that ultimately claimed his life in 1991. Without a doubt, his most enduring song was Queen's hit, "Bohemian Rhapsody" which displayed a fair amount of emotional, tonal, and musical range for the group, cementing their place in the stratosphere of modern music history.
Much like the first album of their first trilogy, "iridescence" sounds like a solid blueprint that will polished with the following albums. The blemishes are visible, but the bigger picture is so wonderful that those blemishes are (mostly) excused because the possibility for improvement is pretty much guaranteed. How could a group that shows as much talent as Brockhampton not have the ability to improve? But as it is, without thinking of the follow-ups, "iridescence" still captures the magic of the original "Saturation" trilogy and stands as one of 2018’s most inventive hip hop records in a year that has brought us a lot of amazing hip hop.
All in all, 'Shadow of the Tomb Raider' is a fun experience and the perfect ending for Lara Croft’s origins. The great story is aided by Croft’s character development and Luddington’s performance. Stale gameplay is enhanced by a stealth component and there’s plenty of side content to spare. It’s a fine and fun wrap up for the trilogy.
‘Twisted Crystal’ finds Guerilla Toss at their most experimental yet also at their most interesting. They create a truly unique album where every song is worth listening to. Every song can offer something different to people who like different genres of music. Guerilla Toss leaves the listener with a sense of wonder and discovery.
Despite the rise in popularity of the superhero genre, DC has left fans disappointed with their recent movies. Can their upcoming release help rebound their reputation?

The Predator and Alien franchises were hugely influential in the 80s when they began. However, this success would not last with both franchises fizzling as they transitioned into the 90s and into the new millennium.
Our world is filled with heroes. Men and women in capes with god-like powers protecting the innocent from the clutches of evil. Unfortunately for us, all those heroes happen to exist on the pages of comics or on the big screen. Far too often it feels like the real people we interact with are playing super-villains, egotistical maniacs terrorizing our life for reasons that we just can’t quite sympathize with. At least that was the case for me. Many of my early years were spent in anguish giving me a tragic backstory that would make even the likes of Batman feel bad for me.
Comic books play a huge role in my life. They’re the reason I love to draw, why I workout, why I try to be the best person I can be. I’ve loved superheros ever since I can remember.
Mac Miller's recent and tragic death shines a light on a growing epidemic within the music industry.
