I know, a slightly odd pairing, but it's what I've watched during this past week.
The Book of Eli:

It's not a dumb actioner. Sure it has some action in it, some quite good action too, and one set piece that's sparse but immensely stylish, but it's much more thoughtful.
Waltz With Bashir:

Indeed I pretty much know sod all about the content - the 1982 Lebanon war - so it was an interesting experience to come at it from a completely unbiased and uninformed position. It's rare these days to know so little about a film before you see it, so Waltz With Bashir was really able to speak to me on its own terms.
The Video Dead:

In fact, it's so naff (just bad, not 'so bad it's good') I'm going to stop moaning about it!
