Crimewave is a American comedy film directed by Sam Raimi, from a screenplay he co-wrote with the Coen brothers. It stars Reed Birney, Sheree J. Wilson, Paul L. Smith, Brion James, Louise Lasser and Bruce Campbell, with the latter also serving as a co-producer. An unusual slapstick mix of film noir, black comedy, Hitchcockian suspense,[4] and B-movie conventions, Crimewave portrays bizarre situations involving a nebbish everyman (Birney) entangled in a murderous plot while pursuing his love interest (Wilson).
Following the commercial success of The Evil Dead (), Raimi and Campbell decided to collaborate on another project. Joel Coen of the Coen brothers served as one of the editors on The Evil Dead and worked with Raimi on the screenplay. Production was difficult for several members of the crew, and the production studio, Embassy Pictures, refused to allow Raimi to edit the film. Several arguments broke out during the shoot of the film due to continued interference by the studio.
The film was a box-office flop and has since fallen into relative obscurity outside of fans of Campbell and Raimi. Few critics

December was a long time ago: George W. Bush was languishing in the last days of his presidency; the Great Recession had only just gotten underway; and a young fella named James Franco was putting together his second-ever short-film project for his filmmaking degree at NYU. His subject was Saturday Night Live cast member Bill Hader, but when SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels agreed to give him full backstage access, Franco decided to expand his focus and trace a week in the life of the storied sketch show.
The resulting documentary, Saturday Night, premiered at the SXSW Film Festival way back in March But thanks to a tangle of rights issues, it was never released beyond that — until now. With little fanfare or advanced notice other than a post on Franco&#;s instagram feed, the doc dropped on Hulu Plus this past Friday, just in time for the premiere of SNL&#;s 40th season.
Of course, there have been plenty of behind-the-scenes tales of the show in the past, from Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller&#;s recently updated/expanded book Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live to a 60 Minutes report in But no two casts are ever the same, and Franco&#;s doc home
