IMDb needs to fix the episode count. Overall enjoyed watching it but many of the negative comments are appropriate. You kinda know what will happen and there is a lot of contemplative gazing taking place. Plus there are some pretty crazy plot twists. But main reason for this post is to get IMDb to fix the episode count. 50 episodes. All in only 1 season.

I just couldn't get into this movie. Redford did a nice job but watching him struggle at sea for an hour and 40 minutes was really boring. The viewer never gets to know him as there is no dialog so not really sure anyone cares if he makes it or not. Obviously many people like this film based on the ratings but I just thought it was a complete waste of time. There have been many films like this where people were in the air, on boats, stranded on a deserted island, in a runaway bus, or in some other precarious situation and in most of them there is some suspense and the viewer actually cares about the characters because the characters are developed throughout the film. In this movie there is one brief paragraph at the start and then nothing more. How can anyone care what happens? After 15 minutes I really thought Redford should have let the camera crew rescue him and end the monotony.

If you liked Bruce Springsteen's early recordings this DVD is for you. This re-engineered DVD sounded great on the surround sound system. Pretty much every hit from Greetings From Asbury Park, The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle, and Born To Run are on this DVD. The only disappointment from my perspective is that two of the best songs are performed in an acoustic style. Thunder Road and For You are two of my all time favorites and in my opinion the acoustic versions aren't anywhere near as good as the regular rock versions. All the other early hits are there including Rosalita, Jungleland and Backstreets. The Lost In The Flood performance is great. 9 out of 10. Would have been a 10 if the two above mentioned were regular versions. Check this out.
