Nora Arnezeder as Anna D'Antoni

Jan Broberg as Rita

Liane Balaban as Judy

America Olivo as Angela Zito

Joshua De La Garza as Martin Nunez

Morgane Slemp as Jenna

Bryan Lugo as Officer Burton

In this defiantly horrible horror movie child-faced Elijah Wood plays the titular maniac, Frank Zito, who lovingly restores mannequins by day and even more lovingly scalps and murders women by night. Well, Elijah Wood and your glorious self both get to play the role as the movie is (mostly) shot in first person POV. So, if you’ve ever hankered after experiencing the thrill of stalking a frightened young woman through an oddly deserted city at night, while grunting like a disturbed pig before tearing her scalp off like that irritating plastic stuff they seal over the lid on a pot of beef paste, this Maniac’s for you! People smarter than me who know that exegesis isn’t a book of The Bible would probably start yapping on about how Maniac manages to convey the true creepiness of the everyday “male gaze”. 

They would be right too, and not just about diegetic not being a drug causing the increased passing of urine. Trapped behind the eyes of Frank you too can stare too long at women on the subway until their eyes flick up and away like a terrified horse’s tail. If you are a woman you get to see how the other half leer, and if you’re a man you get to see how disturbing you are. It should come as a shock; it’s meant to come as a shock; it did come as a shock. Looking at things wondering where to stick your gristly bits was a useful male skill when dating meant dragging your mate by the hair to your cave, but now we all have phones that can play Wagner we need to dial that shit back a bit. Yes, it’s been a tricky millennium or two for men and their glands. And none of that’s self-hatred or that old fave of folk terminally confused by the times they live in, the phantom boogeyman of “Political Correctness Gone Mad”, no, it’s just a fact; Sir Kingsley Amis in his later (somewhat less than “progressive”) years memorably likened having a libido as “being chained to an idiot.” He knew his onions, did Sir Kingsley.

Frank though isn’t your common or garden guy, so watching Maniac is like being chained to a, well, maniac. Frank’s got depth mind you, he’s not just a shambling hulk attached to an edged implement, like your legions of Jason knock-offs. Frank’s a monster but he’s a very human one. Wood’s giant eyes and generally hesitant demeanour help build a thoroughly vulnerable character, in a performance that’s all the more remarkable for its effectiveness due to it’s being confined primarily to his hands and vocal overdubs. It is genuinely shocking when the viewpoint slips and you see the architect of these atrocities is a frail framed and limpid eyed scamp whose face echoes your own helpless disgust. Frank looks like his own worst enemy and so it proves. A chance encounter with Anna (Nora Arnezeder), an artist who admires his restoration skills, gives Frank a shot at love. Can Frank control his swinish nocturnal impulses and find redemption via the unfathomable magic of love? It’s a question.

Maniac works its way towards answering this question through a subtly nightmarish city setting. It looks like a normal city at first glance, but there are far too many brightly lit and echoingly empty train stations for women to be stalked in, too many unpopulated alleys for them to be driven down for it to be realistic. Maniac is set in a city still haunted by the tragedy of Kitty Genovese; the lights are on as the women scream but no one comes. Except the maniac. Because, of course, this is the city as Frank sees it. We’re not looking through love’s eyes we’re looking through a maniac’s eyes. It’s not a city; it’s a hunting ground; a killing ground. The crisp and slightly off-kilter visuals are washed in the invisible aural surf of a breathily pulsing synth score which lends events a subtly erotic tang. After all,as bad as things get (and things get very, very bad; really quite awful; there’s some stuff that…well, it’s bad) Frank’s getting off on it; a part of him likes this. It’s to be hoped that that part isn’t you. Unless you’re a Maniac.

Breakout Candidates: Pacific

Anaheim: a young team with many applicable potentialities, the most prominent of which are their last 3 first round picks. Zegras and Drysdale both played a handful of games in the NHL last season, and have clear paths to both prominent 5v5 roles and PP1 minutes. Personally, I would be tempted to exercise more caution with inserting the younger Drysdale in too soon, but Zegras is at a point where there is not really a reason to delay his arrival. Recent 3rd overall pick Mason McTavish plays a physical and pro style game, but as with every other pick in the 2021 entry draft, the pandemic year that it is, McTavish is best served with at least another year before having a serious shot at making the NHL. Beyond that the Ducks have a large amount of young players who should have more to give, as reflected by Anaheim’s recent results in draft lottery contention. Forwards such as Steel, Comtois, Lundestrom are complimentary pieces that will look much stronger as the team’s performance improves, so it would be hard for them to garner as much attention or credit if say, Comtois has a strong 20-goal season playing on Zegras’ wing. On defence there are similar complimentary options. I have been a fan of Mahura’s game but his time might be now or never to break into the league. Larsson is a bit younger but hopes of him being an impact defender lay farther into the future. In net the Ducks are set with the underappreciated Gibson, but prospect Dostal has been building his resume nicely. In general the Ducks, under GM Murray, have done a really good job at drafting and developing.

Calgary: a new coach represents a power vacuum, a chance for all players to drastically change their position on the depth chart. We saw the beginnings of that during their disappointing season in the North division, and this uncertainty is spilling into this offseason. Rumours surrounding Monahan, Gaudreau, and Tkachuk. Giordano gone already, but not much change has actually occurred. Perhaps the best chance of a breakout lies with defenders Kylington and Valimaki, who have both already played well for the Flames. Valimaki was probably a strong candidate for such a title 2 seasons ago, before tearing a knee ligament that sidelined him for quite some time. Especially with Giordano gone, and a decently strong defence group around them, these 2 might be the biggest x-factors for the Flames success this season. Up front there are some prospects looking to make the jump, first rounders Peltier and Zary both present skilled players who bring a certain tenacity that could endear them to coach Suter. Matthew Philips has some fans and provides some play making ability that could compliment this group nicely should he get the chance, personally I’d say this is less likely than some of the younger forwards I’ve highlighted here.

Edmonton: Holland did a lot this offseason, and I wasn’t a huge fan of a lot of his moves. That being said the Oilers are in a good spot, perhaps their best in several year heading into 21/22. A huge part of it is a potential youth movement dawning underneath the RNH-McDavid lottery crew. The first prospect to point to would be forward Dylan Holloway, who posted a really strong sophomore season at Wisconsin. Holloway is big and strong, plays centre or wing, gets to dirty areas, wins battles, is a great forechecker, and might even find his way into fitting very nicely alongside either McDavid or Drasaitl. He’s not exactly Zach Hyman, but adding those two to this forward group should work out really well. McLeod and Benson have done enough in the AHL to have every chance to make this roster as well. It’s not out of the question that we see Puljujarvi reach another level of play this year, whether it’s somewhere in this lineup, but honestly now that he’s bounced back and adjusted to the NHL (recouped value) it might not be with the Oilers. I do hope that he gets a shot at a big role, but as we’ve mentioned the forward group is getting crowded. On defence Bouchard is the point of intrigue, especially with the likes of Jones and Bear shipped out. I don’t think he’ll be as good as Dougie Hamilton, but it’s not unreasonable to hope he eclipses fellow offensive defenceman Tyson Barrie in the next 2-3 years. Holland’s track record of slow development from Detroit, as well as the acquisitions of Keith and Ceci tell us all we need to know about Broberg or Samorukov having a chance at cracking this years roster.

Los Angeles: poised to be one of the most exciting, or at least surprising, teams LA has a plethora of candidates for this breakout player discussion. Primarily is the eventuality of Quinton Byfield, who had a strong underage rookie AHL campaign. It’s not too much to think that he could lead this team in points this season, especially with fellow centres Kopitar and Danault taking on the heavy lifting defensively. Outside of that predicting what this lineup might look like is near impossible, and the reason the Kings are often atop any prospect ranking. Kupari, Thomas, Kaliyev, and Turcotte could each make a strong case for making the opening night roster, but based on how crowded the forward group is to start will most likely continue their work in the AHL. On defence there are at least 2 candidates for breakout player, depending on your definition. Mikey Anderson was one of the Kings’ best defenders last season, so the only breakout would be in recognition. Bjornfot played well for the 20-odd games he was in the lineup and will look to continue impressing. Clague is the oldest and has played the least NHL games of these 3 defenders, but with strong skating skill, a large frame, and some offensive abilities might catch a lot of people’s eyes. In a division where the 3 seed is anyone’s game, LA will be a young, fun team that many will be paying attention to and rooting for.

San Jose: The Sharks could really use some breakout players, as some new skill and energy would go a long way towards reinvigorating this franchise. It’s probably at least another year until some offensive options in Gushchin or Wiesblatt are pushing for a spot. There are some forwards like Chmelevski, Blichfeld, and Gregor who could be NHL regulars, but probably not enough to get national attention. The most critical spot will be in net, an area of great concern for the past few seasons. Aiden Hill and James Reimer isn’t exactly a world beating tandem, but could easily give the Sharks their best performance in years. They have Ben Gaudreau (many years away), but much closer are a pit of 23 year olds in Melnichuk and Sawchenko. Neither have played a large volume of games in a season to this point, but specifically Sawchenko has posted really promising results, leading the AHL Barracuda in save percentage the last 2 seasons, yet still splitting time in the ECHL.

Seattle: the Kraken don’t have years of development to fall back on here, but nonetheless found a way to acquire some options for breakouts thru the expansion draft. On defence the most likely is Cale Fleury, as Dunn probably shouldn’t qualify for such a distinction, even after a tough 2021. Up front lies perhaps the biggest x-factor for the team in Morgan Geekie. He’s scored at every level, including his limited amount of games in the NHL despite being used sparingly. That, and the Kraken’s scarcity of young players, centres, and goal scorers make a Geekie breakout a potentially franchise altering development. Alex True might also benefit from a change in scenery under similar criteria, although less likely.

Vancouver: outside of Demko, the biggest reason for a strong Canucks’ season is their top 9 forward group, among which depends on the strong play of a young trio. Dickinson is less of a breakout candidate and more so continuing his good play in a Canadian market, after a few years of playing a role with Dallas that saw him move throughout the lineup. Hoglander was quite good last season, but we should expect his growing influence on play and higher offensive numbers. Podkolzin is similarly well insulated and should have a chance to find a synergous role with good linemates. On defence we will see if Rafferty delivers on promising hype and if Chatfield can continue improving. Although he’s not as young or skilled as many in this conversation Tucker Poolman has an interesting possibility of fitting into this lineup partnered with Quinn Hughes. Personally I’ve liked his play, a good defender with smart enough support pass abilities, and it’s not out of the question he beats out Travis Hamonic for the high leverage opportunity.

Vegas: clearly in a different competitive level than the rest of their division, Vegas’ breakouts will mostly be concerning existing NHLers. Because of their centre group and his draft pedigree Nolan Patrick is a good place to start. He’s missed a lot of time due to injuries, so naturally staying healthy is a big part of it. He’s been effective so far, perhaps lacking in the dynamic qualities you’d expect from a potential 1st overall pick. The Knights have been famously effective at getting the most from their centres, and it’s not rare that a change in scenery can push a players play in a positive direction. Another highly drafted centre will have similar opportunities, as Peyton Krebs tries to make the roster. He has been practicing with Vegas as far back as the 2020 bubble, and posted really promising results in 24 WHL games and 5 AHL games before a 4 game preview in the NHL. Keegan Kolesar played really well last season, and with Tuch out to start the year he might have a good chance to run with an even greater role this season. On defence Hague and Whitecloud have already been performing at a high level, but the longer they stick around the more people will understand that. Brossoit will be in net more often than he was in Winnipeg, and I agree he has a good chance to deliver on those hopes as Vegas gave him a contract the going rate NHL backup, but there’s no reason to think he won’t continue improving and might be in line for a raise at the end of his current deal.

The Best True Crime Documentary — Day 2

Yesterday we started our 2019 legal March Madness feature, wherein we try to determine the very best true crime documentary. Because who doesn’t love binging Netflix (or Hulu or Amazon Prime) for their dose of “oh my god, I can’t believe this is real”?

Today, we reveal the second half of the bracket and you can start voting to determine which is your favorite.

(1) Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father v. (16) Capturing the Friedmans

              Just when you think Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father has completely gutted you and left you a sobbing mess, it ups the ante in a completely devastating way. The documentary was conceived by Kurt Kuenne when his friend Andrew Bagby was murdered. The woman suspected of his murder was pregnant with Bagby’s child and thus became inspiration for this 2008 documentary.

The 2003 documentary Capturing the Friedmans is a shocking look at the investigation of Arnold and Jesse Friedman for child molestation. The movie is bigger than the charges against the father and son, and looks at the striking family dynamics at play.

 Loading ...

(2) Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills v. (15) Breaking Vegas: The True Story of the MIT Blackjack Team

              Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Informational Programming and spurred by two sequels, which continued following the same story of the West Memphis Three, Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, and Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory. The documentary looks at the case against Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, Jr., and Jason Baldwin who were convicted of the murder and sexual mutilation of three boys: Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch.

Who doesn’t like the story of clever, plucky people that take on a big institution for personal gain? The real story behind the famous card counting scheme has been so popular it’s inspires multiple books, movies, and documentaries.

 Loading ...

(3) Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist v (14) Dirty Money: Drug Short

Pretty much from the opening minutes of Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist, I was screaming at the TV screen. The movie tries to parse out who, exactly was responsible for a bank robbery and the death of Brian Wells, who died by a collar bomb during the robbery, and it will leave you infuriated.

Dirty Money: Drug Short lures you in thinking they’ll be talking about convicted pharma bro Martin Shkreli, but instead pulls off one of the most effective bait and switches as it details the rise and fall of Valeant Pharmaceuticals. The entry of this documentary may strike some as misplaced, because despite investigations by the SEC, the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in Massachusetts and New York, the state of Texas, the North Carolina Department of Justice, the Senate’s Special Committee on Agin,g and the House’s Committee on Oversight and Reform there’s never been a formal allegation of legal wrongdoing by the company. But Dirty Money expertly tells the tale of activity that should maybe be illegal expertly, and is so on our list.

 Loading ...

(4) Cropsey v. (13) Goodnight Sugar Babe: The Killing of Vera Jo Reigle

                    Cropsey is the documentary on our list that scares me the most. The subject, Andre Reed, was convicted of the kidnapping (the jury deadlocked on a murder charge) of Jennifer Schweiger — a crime that rocked my hometown and led to countless “stranger danger” lessons. The movie also details other unsolved missing children cases and the way urban legends fed the fear which led to the outcry over the Schweiger case.

The people who murdered Vera Jo Reigle may be convicted, but as laid out in Goodnight Sugar Babe, the reasons why Reigle was killed may be much more convoluted and twisted than authorities believe. This documentary’s interviews with Cheri Brooks (aka “Sugar Babe”) the crime family matriarch that may have organized the crime for shocking reasons are chilling.

 Loading ...

(5) Enron: Smartest Guys In The Room v. (12) Abducted In Plain Sight

The documentary about one of the biggest financial scandals in the history of the country, Enron: Smartest Guys In The Room, certainly deserves a spot in our bracket. You’ll find yourself disgusted by the smug hubris of Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling and the financial machinations that led to the collapse of Enron.

Just in case you haven’t seen Abducted in Plain Sight, I won’t spoil the twists and turns which are guaranteed to leave your jaw on the floor. The 2017 documentary is about the kidnapping of Jan Broberg Felt, but I promise you won’t see all the craziness coming. It’s wild.

 Loading ...

(6) Leaving Neverland v. (11) Beware the Slenderman

What more is there to say about Leaving Neverland, the 2019 documentary that details the allegations of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who both accuse Michael Jackson of sexual abuse? The movie describes Jackson’s alleged abuse in horrifying detail, and it’s pretty clear you’ll never listen to the King of Pop’s music in the same way again.

What happens when an online urban legend makes its way into the real world and motivates an attack on a child? That’s the disturbing true crime story behind Beware the Slenderman. Two 12-year-olds, Anissa E. Weier and Morgan E. Geyser, stabbed their friend Payton Leutner 19 times during a game of hide and seek in the woods. The girls said they committed the shocking crime to appease the Slenderman, an online horror story creation.

 Loading ...

(7) OJ: Made In America v (10) Mommy Dead and Dearest

            O.J.: Made in America has a prestigious pedigree, as it won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 89th Academy Awards. It was produced as part of ESPN’s 30 for 30 series, and traces the trajectory of O.J.’s life, from his days playing as a football star at the University of California to his eventual 2007 conviction on robbery charges. Oh, and his acquittal for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman also get some attention.

On the other side is the twisted tale of Dee Dee Blanchard and her daughter, Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Gypsy Rose and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, were arrested for the murder of Dee Dee, but it’s the reasons behind the crime will really leave you stunned.

 Loading ...

(8) The Seven Five v (9) The Central Park Five

The last matchup features two films aboout terrible miscarriages of justice in the 1980s in New York City. The first is the 2014 documentary The Seven Five, which tells the tale of corruption in the NYPD’s 75th precinct in the 1980s. The film largely focuses on the misdeeds of Michael Dowd, and uses footage obtained from the Mollen Commission, a task force put together in 1992 to investigate the NYPD.

The last film in this year’s bracket is by famed documentarian Ken Burns, who along with David McMahon and Sarah Burns, tells the tale of the wrongful conviction and eventual exoneration of Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise known as The Central Park Five. The men were convicted of the assault and rape of a woman jogger in one of the most publicized attacks of the 1980s.

Polls are open until Tuesday, happy voting!
