Movie Recommendation of the Week: White Water Summer
How did I not post this to Unreality? Am I not a loyal 80s movie buff? I feel guilty for not adding White Water Summer to the mix. For those that are too young to have seen this it’s kind of a must see for cheesy movie lovers.
It’s “A coming of age tale in which a geeky little boy’s parents are convinced to send their son on an outdoors adventure by the group leader. The boy, Alan, is forced to change from a technical thinking, baseball-listening loner into a man of action leader. The movie chronicles the challenges set before Alan by nature, crew leader Vic, and the violence of other crew members. When the time comes will Alan be able to save a crew member’s life with his new leadership skills?”
I guess you’ll find out if you see! Plus we’ve got some great stars in this one. Vic is Kevin Bacon. Alan is Sean Astin. Matt Adler joins the mix. Eddie from Growing Pains and the other kid was in some sitcom. Trust me, it’s an awesome flick. Trailer after the jump….

Coming of age baby!
Classic flick. I remember it being a staple of weekend VHS rentals when I was growing up… that and “RAD”…
Kevin bacon gets his ass kicked badly. I will always remember that scene.
