So I downloaded and watched Kung-fu Panda II last night. It was pretty good. Don't ask why I downloaded it, I just wanted to, and Shen was awesome. Gary Oldman ftw?!

But maybe I'm just being picky but movies nowadays are so...blah to me. :c Like the avengers wasn't anything special and I'm honestly surprised it did as well as it did. Aside from the last fight scene the entire movie took place on the ship until the last half hour. It wasn't really spectacular but maybe I'm just being overly picky for action movies. Though it did have pretty good character development for that kind of movie and with that many main characters.

ANYWAY! I wish movies weren't so formulaic. I wish there was a movie where the bad guys came out on top! Sadly I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.

The Vengeance Trilogy is a Korean film, DO NOT GET THE DUB. No, really, the dub is horrible. The subs should be pretty easy to find since Oldboy is a fairly popular movie.

TV Tropes actually has a whole page for "the bad guy wins" so there might be movies checking out there, but, well, spoilers.

"The Fall" is a good movie too, very beautiful. It's about a paralyzed stunt double that begins telling a little girl a story. Scenes within the hospital are interspersed with the story he tells her.

"Peacock" is another really good movie. Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, drama/thriller. Not going to say more on that since it's kinda plot-twisty.

Oh my god I love The Fall. It plays on one of the many movie channels we have back up here at my mother's house. It's such a gorgeous film.

I shall have to look for torrents for all of these. Thanks for the suggestions Cata!

It is~ The really cool thing is everything was shot on location and a lot of the cool effects weren't CG, but actually things they did.

You're welcome!

Yeah I want to go to some of those places now because they are absolutely gorgeous. It's such a touching story too. Baw Roy. ;w; I felt bad for him and he was good looking so that helped too.
