This weekend Husband and I had a child free weekend away. Usually we go to the cinema multiple times when the kids are staying with their grandparents (we have a Kids Pass membership which gets us discount tickets) but we didn’t think much of the listings this weekend but we did decide to give the latest Marvel Avengers movie, Captain Marvel, a try just before we left to come home. And we were certainly pleased we did. Captain Marvel begins in outer space with a race called the ‘Kree’ who are led by an all powerful AI. The Kree are in an intergalactic battle with the ‘Skrulls’. Vers (Brie Larson) is a Kree warrior with supercharged powers who has no memory of her past but keeps dreaming memories being a human fighter pilot on Earth - a planet she has supposedly never visited. Her mentor Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) explains her powers have been given to her by the AI to serve a higher purpose.
When Vers is kidnapped by the Skrulls and her subsequent escape leads to a crash landing on Earth c.1995 where she meets a young Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) who gets his first encounter with aliens, and her true past as fighter pilot Carol Danvers is revealed Captain Marvel (and the Avenger initiative) is born. We went into the movie theatre knowing nothing of Captain Marvel role in the Avengers saga and was delighted to find myself watching a prequel to the whole Avengers initiative. The back story of how Fury started the programme (and lost his eye) was a great piece of the Marvel puzzle. Plus it’s always great to see a strong female lead in a superhero world traditionally dominated by muscle men, And to top it off it was so funny! The Avengers writers have certainly got the humour spot on. Goose the cat (yes, that is a Top Gun reference) was hilarious. Make sure you wait until the end of the trailers for the much awaited Avengers snippet which shows how Captain Marvel will fit into the current Avengers world post the cataclysmic fallout from Infinity War. I certainly look forward to see more of Captain Marvel in Avengers: End Game

The last time I went to the cinema with my husband was ... let me think ... about 13 years ago. That's quite sad now I've seen it written down!!

We love a cinema date night too, no kids to have to share the popcorn with. I like the idea that you don't need to know too much about the other films or story to be able to enjoy the film.

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and YouTube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologized to me for his behavior and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did
