Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The original trl was never that great to begin along the 1990's which started the downfall of music and entertainment and this new version of trl is even worse than that awful powerpuff girls remake from last year, none of these clowns have any talent, their hosting is awful, the DJ is pathetic, the lyrics are truly worthless, the editing is pathetic, I remember back in 1998, TRL at least as pathetic as original was, did long some good careers including Christina Aguilera, here in this reboot, it's all pathetic, truly dreadful and absolutely hopeless, there is absolutely nothing good about this reboot in my day of the week except the style, otherwise that is it, this is truly the worst TV show of the year, a truly miserable experience.TRL is a big time failture of a reboot I'm giving it my lowest rating an F.

I was the the ORIGINAL video editor on the show and I can tell you that we FAKED most of the "call in" requests when the show launched. Me, the producer, co-workers of mine would all call into the editing suite and tape record the so called the "requests" It was originally a "top request for videos" show. where the viewers call in and give their requests, the audio of requests would be played over the intro of the requested video... but it was all a scam. MTV had their own agenda of what videos they wanted to push and we were expected to "create" their desired results. So I would call in, make up a phony name, pick some town and say " yo, I want to hear Limp Bisket" or whatever... and the public was never the wiser.

You really can't judge the show without judging the music that is on it. Carson was a decent host. Not great, not bad. The whole slew of new hosts that have taken over for him in the past couple months are not great, and not bad, too. The show's concept is not unique, but it was a good idea from whoever came up with it in the beginning. The show itself has some flaws; but most of the flaws comes from the music it plays itself.First of all, I don't claim to be an expert of TRL history. I've only seen maybe 15 episodes my whole life. I've never voted. And most of the times I've seen the show is during the summer when I wasn't doing anything at the moment, or if I got home early.TRL seems to present its audience with maybe 30 or 40 videos to chose from at any given moment. You can pretty much count on it that anything outside those 30 or 40 videos won't ever get on the countdown. As a result of these restrictions, it's no doubt that the same brainless mush manages to get on the countdown. TRL doesn't present its audience with any unique or different music. So, it's audience (mainly kids between 10 and 15) never votes anything unique or different on the top ten.TRL is also strictly placed into one demographic - kids between 10 and 15, so, anyone outside the demographic, or people inside the demographic who like different types of music, is turned off by the show. And since these people don't watch (and vote) for it, there are no other outside influences. Basically, TRL is stuck in a small airtight bubble with the music it plays. Recently this has changed slightly, but, not by much.What TRL plays on its countdown is just stale and doesn't fully represent what is out there, right now. It's regulars include Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, B2K, the boy bands, Jennifer Lopez, etc. Only one of these regulars actually plays an instrument and writes songs. The rest either write no original songs, play no original instruments... or have written or co-written one or two songs on their albums. Not very much artist integrity, huh? Recently TRL has embraced pop-punk and mainstream rap. But, really, these genres are also focused on TRL's demographic.If TRL really wants to dig itself out of the drudgery of its music and ratings, it needs to try to expand its demographic. Otherwise, this show will be stuck as a show for pop hungry pre-teens and younger teens.I haven't watched TRL very much at all, and I won't ever. Out of interest, I've watched it a few times, and I don't like what I see.For those of you who have yet to define what you think is good music. Or, if you think what TRL is playing is good music (you're entitled to opinions)... this is a show for you.If you don't like what gets played on TRL, don't watch it. There's always CDs and MP3s.Rating: 3/10

On this show people vote on MTV.com for their favorite songs, and they're all put on a countdown. My synopsis on this show is that it's not bad for what it is, and I do think that Carson Daly is a pretty good host, he seems like a really nice guy and I like how he interacts with his audience. It does pander to the teeny bopper crowd as acts like N'Sync, and 68 degrees pretty much dominate the countdown. Actually I think that if they concentrated solely on the teeny bopper stuff it would be an improvement. What totally kills this show is dirtbag bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Papa Roach and Green Day. The pop music is fine, but the rock music completely sucks. I guess that's because I'm an old-school 80's heavy metal fan. I'd like to see some videos from Judas Priest, White Lion, Queensryche, Stryper, and Def Leppard. Here are some of my picks for the TRL countdown that you probably wont ever see on thereWhite Lion: Tell MeJudas Priest: Hot RockinQueensryche: Jet City WomanDokken: In My DreamsStryper: FreeKix: Don't Close Your EyesI could probably think of some more, but I'll stop here. In closing, this show would be good it only concentrated on pop music and give the sucky alternative garbage the old heave ho
