The more prestige dramas there are, the harder it is to watch all of them. They’re long. They’re heavy. And for most content on Netflix, they’re far too loosely edited, which only makes them feel longer and heavier. So as the streaming giant prepares to release a 30-minute live-action comedy-drama hybrid this week (the much-anticipated “Glow”), it’s important to note Netflix has been killing it when making shorter dramatic content, with the most recent example being “F is for Family.”
And by killing it, I do mean death is but a heartbeat away in Bill Burr’s R-rated, animated take on “Married With Children.” It’s not so much that the ’70s-set family show deals with existential fears (like “BoJack Horseman”) or knocks off characters left and right (like most dramas these days), but that Burr’s fictionalized memoir of growing up deals with the era...

Netflix has released the trailer for season 2 of its original animated series “F Is for Family.” Co-created by comedian Bill Burr and Michael Price, the series follows the Murphy family back to the 1970s, “when kids roamed wild, beer flowed freely and nothing came between a man and his TV.”

Comedian Bill Burr has the kind of sharp humor and style that used to be crowned with a sitcom decades ago. But times they are a changing so it only makes sense that a funny and bright guy like him would gravitate to the format and medium that gives him the most creative freedom. In Burr’s case, it’s a new six-episode animated series on Netflix called “F Is for Family,” which begins streaming Friday. Smart, sincere and punctuated by four-letter obscenities in the way Burr’s stand-up routine is, “F Is for Family” is set in 1973 and follows Frank Murphy (voiced.

It's not a knock on Netflix's "F is for Family" to say that its title sequence is far and away the best thing about it. The animated comedy, set in an unnamed Rust Belt city in 1973 where Frank Murphy (Bill Burr, who co-created the show with "Simpsons" vet Michael Price) works in the baggage handling department of a local airline, has a pretty dazzling one that tells you everything you need to know about its hero — his backstory, his frustration, and the main themes of the story — in a brisk 45 seconds. We start with Frank as a teenager graduating high school in the early '50s. As the opening chords of Redbone's 1973 hit "Come and Get Your Love" plays, Frank tosses aside his graduation robes and literally flies into the air, an entire world of possibility ahead of him. Suddenly, a draft notice smacks him in the face and his...

Wall Street's lackluster response to Netflix's Q3 2014 earnings isn't hurting the online premium subscription video on-demand service's originals game. The company just announced a deal for the all new animated series F Is For Family, based on the comedy of Bill Burr. Created by Burr and Emmy-winner Michael Price (The Simpsons), F Is For Family will follow the story of the Murphy family in the changing era of the 1970s. Burr will voice Frank Murphy, Laura Dern will play his wife Sue, and Justin Long will take on the role of their oldest son, Kevin. The six-part series will be produced by Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Television and Gaumont International Television, the latter of which has already seen two of its other series developed for Netflix: the horror-based Hemlock Grove and the upcoming drama Narcos (starring one Oberyn Martell). “[F Is For Family is] the show I've always wanted to do," said Burr to The Hollywood Reporter.

As all lovers of crime, suspense thriller, war, western, horror and science fiction films know, creating a truly great cinematic villain is no easy task. When it happens, it’s virtually impossible to forget that character.
We’ll now take a look at the greatest film villains of the 1980’s.
The criteria for this article is the same as my previous article Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970’s: the villains must be from live-action films-no animated features-and must pose some type of direct or indirect lethal threat. The villains can be either individuals or small groups that act as one unit.
The villains must be human or human in appearance, so no shape-shifting alien from John Carpenter’s amazing 1982 The Thing, no Aliens from James Cameron’s classic 1986 sequel and no Predator from John McTiernan’s beloved 1987 film of the same name.
Also, individuals that are the central protagonists/antiheroes...

How do we better remember Mandakini? As the controversial actress, who had a relationship with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Or through that waterfall bathe where she revealed her breasts in a transparent white saree in ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’. Well we can also remember her as the wife of Kagyur Tulku Rinpoche. Before you say who Rinpoche is, let us explain. He is the cute little toddler who featured in the print ads of Murphy Radio. Murphy Radio was a British manufacturer of radios and televisions based in Welwyn Garden City, England. Murphy Radio was founded in 1929 by Frank Murphy and E.J.

John Badham’s high-tech helicopter thriller Blue Thunder rode the crest of a decade obsessed with cool cars and aircraft. Ryan takes a look back…
Back in the 1980s, a company called Sega perfected what it referred to as the Full Body Experience. Less kinky than it sounds, this fusion of Crt television, videogame technology and hydraulic pistons aimed to give amusement arcade visitors a taste of what it might be like to drive a Ferrari Testarossa or motorcycle at breakneck speed or fly a fighter jet through a valley full of enemy aircraft.
For a generation of youths, these machines, with their chunky graphics and even chunkier controls, are the stuff of legend, and the mere mention of their names – Hang On, Out Run, After Burner, Space Harrier, Thunder Blade – is enough to evoke involuntary memories of Proustian proportions.
These half-remembered machines sum up the 80s era of mechanical wish fulfilment.

In 1984 the Cold War continued to dominate the headlines. Soviet-American relations remained tense and films such as Wargames and Red Dawn reflected the mood of the time. On television another war was raging, a war between two heavily armed helicopters. One was a top secret military experiment, the other a state of the art crime fighting police chopper. Airwolf and Blue Thunder were so similar that only one could survive in the ratings war.
Blue Thunder had an advantage; the brand had already been established the year before in director John Badham’s feature film of the same name starring Roy Scheider and Malcolm McDowell. Scheider played police pilot Frank Murphy assigned to patrol the skies of La in experimental helicopter, Blue Thunder. The film was a solid action thriller and fared well enough at the box office to warrant a spin-off television series of its own on the ABC network.
