Avengers : Age of Ultron

Marvel Action

Action, Drama and Sci-Fi 7/10

Rogue and Gambit

I am a big Marvel fan. I have loved Marvel ever since I was a kid when I started to watch the X-Men series back in the 90's. I was hooked after one episode and I still watch it today...Yes thats's right...My name is Kate Withers and I love watching cartoons at the ripe age of 30..lol My favorite Marvel character's are Gambit and Rogue.I liked everything about them their powers and abilities, wardrobe and Rogue's southern accent.. I used to try and practise the accent when I was younger.. Sad I know..Well enough about them and on to the main category of the Avengers.
I will at some point do a profile blog on different X-Men characters.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is the sequel to the 2012 Avengers film. I have been very excited and keen to watch this film because I love watching the directors bringing the marvel characters to life. Iron man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Captain America and Black Widow reunite yet again to save the earth from global extinction, all thanks to Tony Stark, When he and Bruce Banner try to jump start a dormant peace keeping program to which everything goes wrong bringing Ultron to life

I did enjoy watching it for the CGI but it had no moving dark story like the trailers promised.There were quite alot of one liner jokes that were not funny...Which was a constant occurring theme from mostly Iron Man and Captain America. Maybe it is just me and just did not find the jokes funny, I also can not stand Captain America so maybe it's because of that ( Sorry CA fans ) ..Who knows....There were also loads of random scenes which had no back story to them and made no sense like -

1 - The film opens with all the Avengers in a massive battle scene for reasons that are not really important.

2. A love Story has suddenly developed between Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanoff which had no back story to it.. Hawkeye has some secret life which is revealed when he is forced to return home to his pregnant wife and kids!!!..

RANDOM.........but I do like how they have started to introduce new characters to the film ( Scarlet Witch and QuickSilver ) .You can never get enough of mutants..

Well with action and CGI It still had me hooked but as for a storyline it was not very good..I think they used the excessive explosions and action to hide the poor storyline.

I still like Jeremy Renner though who plays Hawkeye...Wink Wink lol

Friday night in with a film

Tonight's viewing and a Pizza

Child 44

A bit of Tom hardy...why not?! lol

Due to the Wedding it has been a while since I have watched a film or even write a review about one. As you have all seen I have done a quick review on my latest 3Ds purchase which I am very excited about and will write about it this week. I also need to write a review this week on The Avengers: Age of Ultron which I finally got to see, and after tonight I will need to write a review on a film we will be watching " Child 44 " with Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman, Can not wait. I saw this when I was in HMV today and fancied watching it... I have lots to do which will keep me busy over the bank holiday. I hope you all have a good bank holiday and really hope it stays dry for all have made plans.

3Ds Tales Of The Abyss

Tales of the Abyss

I know this is nothing to do with films or crafting but I thought I would give it a mention. I do love playing on my Nintendo 3Ds, I had the handheld console for Christmas from my dad ( he got himself one too ) so we could play them on our long train journeys when we go on trips.........and so I can play the latest Pokemon game which at the time was Pokemon Omega Ruby. Since I have had it I have brought games Such as " Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Tomodatchi life and Jurassic World Lego. Even though I have a Playstation 3, I rarely play games on it now, but I do miss playing RPG style games like Final Fantasy. I was going to buy Bravely Default as I was recommended it but as I went to add that to the basket, it said underneath " click to buy " " other people who brought this also tried this " Tales of the Abyss " it was given very good reviews and 4 stars out of 5...Also it was £7 cheaper than Bravely default, so I ordered it.I will write a review about it later in the week as I play more and get an idea of the story..so stay tuned.

Final Fantasy was and is still my favourite RPG

Wedding Day

My Big Day

Becoming Mrs Withers -

I apologise I have not been on for a while, as you may know who have been following me I was getting prepared for my Wedding day. After a lot of stress and tantrums on the way ( mostly from me...ok just me lol ) We finally made it. Me and Paul got married on Thursday 6th August at 2pm. It was the best day of my life and it is right what everyone say's.... it went quick. But I will always remember it. I was so nervous on the day. My Bridesmaids, family and myself stayed at The Angel Hotel in Pershore just 10 minutes from the venue on the Wednesday, we went out for a pre wedding meal and had a few drinks, it was a really wet night and I was panicking the actual day itself will be very wet, well you can not help mother nature you just have to hope for the best.I woke up on the morning at 6am and had myself a bath before starting to get ready at 8:30am. At this point I was very calm and excited. My hair dresser Kim ( Serenity Hair ) put rollers in my hair and left me to start my Bridesmaids. I was still calm watching the tv in the room and ordering room service.10am on wards my make up artist cam and my photographer....so it became very busy...I became very nervous when at 12:20 my wedding cars started to arrive.. I knew at this point it was appraoching, walking down the isle with 40 pairs of eyes staring at you ( probably waiting for something to go wrong )..something almost did when my shoes would not fit me and were very loose...YES! I had a tantrum and threw my shoe lol I know now that was silly of me. My chief bridesmaid was trying different things to make my shoe fit, in the end I just told my dad to hold on tight and not to let me fall. He did and even though I was very nervous I made it to the end to marry my soul mate. It was a magical day and the sun was shining throughout, till this day even though we lost my father in law to cancer on 19th June, I believe he was with us that day and he was the one who brought out the sunshine for this special day of ours.My poor dad was very nervous for his speech, I told him to have a bit of proseeco to ease his nerves...He ended up having 4 glasses, there was no need for him to be nervous as he nailed it and brought myself and the guests to tears, I was so proud of him.

We have decided to plan our honeymoon for next year as so much has happened this year, Pauls Dad, the wedding and now getting our little addition to the Withers household in October ( Puppy not baby lol ) so it is something else to plan and look forward to next year and I can not wait to start 2016 with my new Husband..roll on..Please find below a few links to suppliers that I used...They were all fantastic and helped me make our day.
