Not any info on this site about the Kevin Bacon, Sean Astin flick.. Why is that ? where is the White Water Summer Page?

Posted by McFly (Member # 354) on :

Awesome movie, but I don't think a classic that would get a page.

But very underrated anyway. Bacon and Astin are great (also had much used 80s teen Matt Adler and "Eddie" from Growing Pains, K.C. Martel), the stunts are terrific, the score was great, the cinematography was great...

But still it sat on the shelf for two years and the critics beat it up.

Posted by Anthony (Member # 42) on :

I suppose your right.. Just one of those films you grow up with and think is so much more then it is.. But still loads of fun

Posted by Nick (Member # 404) on :

Any movie can have a page... it doesn't matter how cheesy it is or how much it was panned by the critics...

but... someone's got to write it who knows the movie... That's how this site works.

"So, get writing people!"

Posted by McFly (Member # 354) on :

Wow, never knew that, Nick. Pretty generous. Just figured you wrote all those great descriptions on all the movies.

Still have yet to see this, is it worth seeking out?

Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :

Riptide...it is a great flick...seek it!

I watched White Water Summer (1987) and it was awesome!

Great acting from the guys!
Nice to see Kevin Bacon and Sean Astin in action again.
Matt Adler, Jonathan Ward and K.C. Martel also did a good job.

The movie included fantastic cinematography!
I just don´t understand how they could shoot all those scenes.
No wonder the film is dedicated to its director of photography, John Alcott,
who previously worked on several Stanley Kubrick projects.
This and No Way Out were his last movies.

The soundtrack rocks!
Journey, The Cult, Bruce Hornsby and The Range, Cutting Crew,
Mike Slamer penned Mark Boals track... Huge stuff!

MARK BOALS - Restless Heart (WHITE WATER SUMMER o.s.t.)

White Water Summer - Life in a dangerous time (Cutting Crew)

Highly recommended!

Everything has become clear! Scorpios... *sniff*... I though as much.

Posted by oneyedwilly (Member # 8730) on :

LOL...excellent, now i have a real excuse then to be so underpar in my knowledge of 80s movies....excellent, just excellent. Oh and Logan, are you thinkin of going to the re release of BTTF in Wimbledon?

Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :

Wimbledon would be a pain to go to! Why is this some kind of HMV exclusive? I thought it was just getting a total (limited) re-release?! Grrr!

Posted by oneyedwilly (Member # 8730) on :

Im not exactly sure of the details Logan, but will find out tomorrow. If its only released in Wimbledon for an exclusive then im definately going to drive down to outskirts of London then get the subway in.

Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :

haha

I'm clueless (literally). I thought it was getting re-released, but now I'm seeing all this 'HMV exclusive' stuff I just don't know.
