Film: Puss in Boots (3D)
Director: Chris Miller
Cast:Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Sedaris, Billy Bob Thornton
Rating: ***
In a land best described as a cross between a Sergio Leone wasteland and a fairy tale realm from pages of Mother Goose, our whiskered sword-wielding Puss (Banderas) roams free as an outlaw, inspiring fear and awe while wooing the ever-swooning females of his species.

This film could either have been excellent or a huge disappointment, it being a spin-off from the "Shrek" quartet. It was most definitely the former and highly enjoyable for both adults and children alike. In fact, anyone who has ever shared their life with a cat will appreciate this film and find themselves laughing at the slightest nuances of behaviour of both Puss, Kitty Soft paws and all the feline supporting cats.

A great family film that I would recommend to anyone.
Such a fabulous film my boys and I loved it very much!!

Puss In Boots
Edith Bowman 06 December 2011 This is a very funny film. I don't know if it's just the whole cats thing, or the script or Bandaras, Hayek and Galifianakis' brilliance, but I really wasn't expecting to laugh quite so much on this one. The fact it really doesn't take itself or anything too seriously makes for an intelligent, clever and hugely entertaining animation that I could watch again and again. The tone and the humour for the adults is important and works perfectly on this. Seeing Humpty Dumpty in a golden Egg costume sounds so simple but it's so visual and funny and animated brilliantly.

Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American Artist.
Born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O'Keeffe first came to the attention of the New York art community in 1916, several decades before women had gained access to art training in America’s colleges and universities, and before any of its women artists were well known or highly celebrated. Within a decade, she had distinguished herself as one of America's most important modern artists, a position she maintained throughout her life.

I have chosen this image because it is very eye catching and it shows a powerful message towards the audience of a woman crying.

I have chosen this image because it has a lot of detail in this image and the word wham shows the noise in this image.

I have chosen this image because it show a mystery of who she is aiming for and the colours are eye catching.

I have chosen this image because it is eye catching and i like the way one side of the woman's face is black and the other side is white.
This shows that there may be to sides to her story.
