    Got a batch of DVDs for next to nothing in a charity shop and binged them over a couple of days, (86) Paris When It Sizzles (1964) Audrey Hepburn teams up again with William Holden after appearing together in Sabrina a few years earlier. The age difference isn’t as noticeable here and this is a pretty funny film as Holden plays a screenwriter who has two days to finish a film script aided by Hepburn as the typist. There’s a lot of in jokes and several Hollywood blockbusters are parodied as the two of them are seen acting out each scene of his fantasies of the plot. Some good cameos from the likes of Marlene Dietrich, Tony Curtis and Mel Ferrer. 7/10 (87) Earth To Echo (2014) This is basically a mash-up of ET and Wall-E as three young boys find some sort of alien robotic life form. They manage to work out a form of communication and find out that it’s trying to locate it’s crashed spaceship and return home. Throw in some adults in the guise of construction workers who know about the alien, and it becomes a race between the kids and adults to decide the fate of the alien. It’s not bad but aimed very much at a younger audience. 5/10 (88) Tea For Two (1950) Doris Day stars as an aspiring actress who bets her wealthy uncle that she can say ‘no’ for 48 hours hoping that the winnings of $25K will help her achieve her dream. Based on the play No, No, Nanette it’s not Doris Day’s best film but it’s enjoyable enough. 6/10 (89) The Town That Cancelled Christmas (2009) There are a few films going around with a similar plot with neighbours competing over putting on the best Christmas decorations and this one has a new neighbour who is writing a book about social behaviour who decides to imply that his decorations are going to be mega which annoys the neighbour who has won for several years in a row. It’s very amateurish and not very funny at all. 3/10 (90) Ballet Shoes (2007) Three young babies are adopted in the 1920s by an eccentric palaeontologist played by Richard Griffiths and brought up by his niece as sisters. As the girls get older they vow to achieve their dreams with Pauline played by Emma Watson as an actress, Posy (Lucy Boynton) as ballet dancer and Petrova (Yasmin Paige) as an aviator. Bit of a fairytale feel to it and good support by Marc Warren and Emilia Fox. 6.5/10

    Ridley Scott's new film, out next week, is 2 hours 38 minutes long. You'd think a film about Napoleon would be quite short.
