Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
SnoopyStyle MTV produced this mockumentary about a San Fernando Valley taken over by supernatural forces. The Undead Task Force (part of LAPD) was formed to battle zombies, werewolves, and vampires. A camera crew follows the exploits of the task force.This lasted only 12 episodes. It was somewhat uneven but very watchable. There are some funny moments but most of the jokes were more quirky than funny. The group in the show may have been too large. The actors are good but not that well known. A smaller group could have made the chemistry better. The characters need more screen time to develop. It had some potential but never fully satisfied it. It was stopped before it could take off.
HorrorOverEverything When I first heard about this show I wrote it off as just another stupid MTV show. I never really gave it a chance when it finally started airing, I would watch a few mins of it every now and then but I never really sat down and gav it a shot. Then finally once it appeared on Netflix I decided to watch the entire first (and last) season, and man did it surprise me.One of the main things that shocked me about this show was that it actually has a very interesting story, the episodes play off of each other in a very cool way. I expected it to be a "Reno 911" rip off with zombies/werewolfs/and vampires thrown in, but it actually takes on a life of its own with nice plot twists and likable characters.All in all this is an excellent series with very few flaws. Its a bummer that it was not renewed for a second season because this is really a gem. Definitely check this out. 9/10
jaddison10 This show caught me completely off guard. When I was given this series as a gift by a friend I didn't know what to expect. Since then I've finished the first season and it's amazing! Imagine a Reno 911/The Office crossed with a more action filled The Walking Dead/True Blood. Brilliant comedy mixed in with great action and a little drama. Yes there are some plot inconsistencies as far as the whole story about the camera crew following the cops but this show is so very different than anything else out there. While comedy shows are great I often find myself bored after watching a couple episodes in a row. Drama's are also pretty good but are actually a little draining if you watch them all the time. This show has just the right mix of everything to keep you laughing, engrossed, and entertained. The characters may be unbelievable at times, but any good comedy show has that. Look at Community and The Office. The point I'm making is if you're trying to find a series that is 'serious'and has a really rock solid plot line, this isn't for you. But if your a guy (or girl!) who loves action and comedy with a back-story and a little drama, this is definitively a show for you. Cops, Zombies, Vampires, and Werewolves.... What more could you want?
dee.reid MTV appears to be on the comeback tip in recent weeks. "Awkward." is proving to be quite a nice distraction and is actually a very interesting teen comedy series. Before that, there was "Teen Wolf" and "The Hard Times of RJ Berger." "Jersey Shore" is probably my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. And now there is "Death Valley.""Death Valley" is an unusual blend of "Cops" and every gory special effects monster movie you could think of that's been a hit in the last 40 years. "Death Valley" follows the Undead Task Force (UTF), a special unit of the Los Angeles Police Department that specializes in cases that have a supernatural twist to them: monsters. It seems that the "Death Valley" in question is not just home to humans, but also to zombies, werewolves, and vampires. And the cops of this special police unit dispose of each menace accordingly to the traditional horror movie standards (i.e., zombies have to be shot in the head).In time for Halloween, here is "Death Valley," MTV's take on popular horror movie trends and cop shows. The show mercilessly skewers said trends while still trying to be respectful of the movies that played into its inspiration and influence. The show is not scary at all, at least to adults like myself (I'm 26) or teenagers, but young children would be advised to not watch this show not just because of the gory special effects, but also because of the salty language and sexual innuendo (vampire prostitutes?).MTV seems to be coming back into an era of semi-decent programming with "Death Valley." "Awkward.," "Teen Wolf," and "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" have also played significantly in helping MTV's return to semi-decent cable programming. I just hope I haven't jinxed this channel's chances of coming back, honestly, by singing such high praises for its newest shows."Death Valley" - 10/10
