New on DVD this week: Puss In Boots

Lots of new releases hitting shelves this week. I was in my top 3 of the year and one was in my worst 5. I won't tell them what they are and instead go out and rent some of these and decided for yourself. I've seen about 50% of these releases and it is quite a strong week for new DVD's. Although if you had to pick one I'd go for 50/50. Oop did I give it away!

PUSS IN BOOTS - Spin off to the popular Shrek franchise. The story chronicles the life of Puss and how he became an outlaw in his town and caused an enemy for life in old friend Humpty Alexander Dumpty.
