Awakenings

Sometimes, when he doesn’t completely overact, Robin Williams does a decent job.  he did a decent job in this one.  It was a really unique story – and a true one to boot.  What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and it was 30 years later?… and you discover that you might not wake up tomorrow?

Austin Powers III

I lauged a lot at this movie. It didn’t really take itself seriously, and that’s why it worked. It was like a parody of itself while it was happening. I thought the Austin Powers character had run its course after the second movie, but this one shows it still has some life. I hope there isn’t a #4 though… I think it’s really done now.

Wayne’s World

This movie had some good scenes… and some that should have stayed on the cutting room floor. I guess it was enjoyable, but there is just something that bothers me about this movie… I can’t put my finger on it. It’s almost like it was trying to be cheesy and classic at the same time… that just doesn’t work. I’d put this movie in the same category as Strange Brew, but Strange Brew doesn’t leave me with that same feeling… do you know what I mean? I’m not sure I do.

 

So I Married an Axe Murderer

F’k UUUU!

When I hiked the PCT, a couple hikers used this call as their yell to each other. When you’re hiking in big spaces, sometimes just yelling is what you need to do to communicate. So, if you’re separated and needed to check on each other, the call goes out. F’k UUU! carries pretty well. This actually came in handy – quite practical when I was hiking with them.
