angus, thongs, and perfect snogging...

with nothing productive planned today, i thought i'd watch a movie. i wasn't in the mood to head out to a movie theater, even though there's one right down the road, so i went and found one online.
angus, thongs, and perfect snogging was the first title to catch my eye. yes, it was a unique title but it was also because i knew of the book with the similar title, angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging. i remember when those books came out, years ago, and had read the first couple of them.
i didn't even know they were making a movie based on the books. i guess i was too caught up with ironman, the dark knight, twilight, and harry potter (which btw, i'm so bummed they're postponing till next summer, lame!!!) movie news. then again it is a british based movie and hasn't even had it's u.s. premire yet. the director of the movie is gurinder chadha, who directed both bend it like beckham and bride and prejudice.

it has been quite a long time since i read the book and honestly didn't remember much of the story. but you didn't need to know the books to enjoy the film. and of course it is a movie based on the books, so there was a few changes, such is the case with many book into movie films. just like the sisterhood of the travling pants 2, this movie included moments that happened in later books. but i didn't really know that, until i started google-ing around.
anyway, i really enjoyed the film. the story of a young girl growing up, crushing on a boy, broken hearts, and tons of embrassing moments is one i can relate to, far too well. not just because there were moments in my teenage life when i felt or went through something similar but also because i feel like i'm still dealing with those feeling and having those moments. georgia's mom points out this fact in the movie, how everyone no matter how old feels this way. now if only i could end up with my own sex god, haha.
the movie was funny, touching, and sweet. perfect choice for today. i enjoyed the music in the movie as well - the pipettes: pull shapes (the first time i heard this song was on the cd seth gave me for my b-day), peter bjorn & john: young folks (love them), kate walsh: your song (beautiful, feel in love with it once i heard it)...and stiff dylans: ever fallen in love (with someone you shouldn't)(buzzcocks cover!) & ultraviolet (can't stop listening to this song), who's sex god robbie's band in the movie.

aaron johnson plays robbie in the movie:

aw, he was so cute...and is so young, it's not fair, haha.

fun fact: he played young charlie chaplin in shanghai knights.

the movie is suppose to come out in the u.s. in october. i wouldn't mind catching it again in theaters.

till later!
