Joined Nov 2007
Born in Norway, 26.05.86.

I work as a librarian at a local library.

I have always been interrested in movies since I was at age 3. My interrest for music and video games came a few years later.

I can basically watch many kind of movies, it be Action, Thriller, Horror, Comedy, Japanese animation called Anime, Disney etc. One of the few kind of movies I simply don't watch at all is Romantic Comedy. Not a big fan of reality shows (X-Factor, Idol, Farmen) either. Otherwise I watch a lot of movies on internet.

Together with watching movies on DVD and Blu-Ray, I often stream a lot of movies, which is why my reviews and rated movies mostly consist of movies which normally don't get release in Norway. Besides from watching movies on DVD, Blu-Ray and Internet, I may go to my local cinema a few times per year.

Some of my favorite live-action movies include: 'Creepshow 1-2', 'Cannibal Holocaust', 'Rambo' (2008), 'Battle Royale' and 'Carrie' (1976).

Together with Action, Thriller and Horror, Anime is one of the type of movies I watch the most. 'Panda no Daibouken' (1973) was the first anime I saw as a kid, such a great childhood memory. :-) The sad news is the fact this film is extremely hard to find nowadays. Otherwise, ever since watching 'Shadow Skill' and 'Akira' in the late 90s, and later stuff like '.hack//SIGN' and 'Bleach', I've become a great fan of pretty much anything related to Japanese animation. Many of these anime-series simply don't get official release in Norway, unless you go into a special anime shop with imported DVDs and BluRay or buying through sites like eBay.

My absolute two favorite anime movies are: 'Akira' (1988) and 'Golgo 13' (1983).

Thanks to eBay my big sister use, I now have lots of anime which many of them normally don't get released in Norway, like 'Wicked City', 'Gantz', a box containing 17 Ghibli-movies and the whole 'Fist of the North Star'-franchise. And even Princess Peach- and Daisy, and a bunch of Sailor Moon-figurines.

As a member of IMDb, I mostly go and read on a certain movies. Eventually I'd end up writing a review on some of the movies I've seen, or even so only give them a rating of 1-10 stars. I also kinda enjoy adding some content advisories for parents. Contributing on a certain titles, like adding an alternate title or any video distributor as long my knowledge stays true, simply happened to be a great fun. I do NOT contribute on these titles for the sake of "getting on list of top 250 contributors", and getting points and badges, I'm only doing this for pure fun. ;-)

I hope this site stays as many years as possible, because I find this to the greatest movie site which has ever existed in years. I actually use this site so to say nearly everyday.

I also tend to listen to music, mostly Techno, Dance, Trance and similar music.

For those who wonder who's face my avatar is, this is the face of Princess Daisy, a fictional character who appears in several Mario-games like 'Mario Party'-games and lots of Mario-sports games.

Geir og Ann Helens Bryllup

  • Apr 25, 2025
  • This video recording of an ordinary wedding is as good as nearly lost.

    1-2 year ago, I received a bunch of music CDs from a friend of mine, with all kinds of music. Among the CDs is a DVD with nothing written on it, but the DVD turns out to feature an amateur video recording of an ordinary wedding.

    The video is of two people named Geir and Ann Helen, getting married inside Dolstad Church in my hometown, Mosjøen. Of course with family members and acquaintances as audience. Followed by a nice big dinner, some touching speeches, and some partying and fun. Nothing to spoil here. But whoever videotaped the whole thing is completely unknown, unless you were an acquaintance or a family member.

    While it is always nice to see people getting married, I had one little problem while watching it. While the speeches could be hard to listen to so I would have to turn up the sound, the few songs used in the video are so super-loud that it could be heard across the apartment complex where I live. It doesn't help when for example "Amazed" by Lonestar seems to have been randomly chosen and thrown into the video with super-loud volume while the rest is almost silent. That's one thing I don't like with certain films: Music so loud that it overpowers background sounds and dialogues I am supposed to listen to.

    Additionally, the film itself may possibly have been only released with just a few copies for family members and acquaintances, and is as good as so obscure it's nearly lost. And I am just one of the few people owning a copy of it, if not the only one. For historical purposes and proof, I would love to have the film uploaded on Internet Archive or YouTube, if it only hasn't been for a few copyrighted songs just randomly tossed into the film, enough to give me copyright strikes.

    All-in-all, I would like to give this nearly-lost film a rating of 6-7 of 10 stars, but thanks to the few super-loud music overpowering natural sounds, I'd give this my personal rating of 5/10.

  • Oooohhh, I remember this from my childhood!

    "For Better or for Worse: The Bestest Present" is a Christmas cartoon special that was produced in 1985, and first aired on American TV on this year. It was directed by Sebastian Grunstra, who also directed all sequels except from "A Storm in April".

    Basic plot: During a rainy day before Christmas Eve, Michael and Lizzie are taken by their mother to a shopping mall. When they return to their home, they discover that Lizzie's stuffed bunny is gone...

    Being an IMDb user, I haven't written a single review for a long time, until now when I just happened to accidentally find a somewhat rare Christmas special I haven't seen for many, many years since my early childhood. "The Bestest Present", that is the first of the "For Better or for Worse" TV-specials, is a very cozy cartoon that is suitable for everybody. The animation is very easy but nicely done, and the story is very easy to follow. Now in this afternoon prior to this review, I almost took to tears in one scene thanks to the childhood memories I've got from watching this, when the father comforts Lizzie by singing a goodnight song to her.

    In my early childhood, we used to have the TV-special as recorded on VHS, and I think it was dubbed in Norwegian of course, since most cartoons for kids are dubbed in my country. What I have always remembered are: That funny dog drinking from the toilet, the car driving to the shopping mall, all the raining, and that stuffed bunny. But since my English and memories weren't as good as today, I've never remembered the title, until I finally discovered this cartoon today, something that made me happy.

    If you like watching cozy animated Christmas movies/specials suitable for all audiences, I'll highly recommend you to find this, and watch this at least once. Some other Christmas stuff I'd like to recommend include: Any Christmas specials from Rankin Bass like "Frosty the Snowman" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", as well as Disney's "From All of Us to All of You".

    My overall rating: A well deserved 9/10.

  • Pretty unique 3D-platformer game with Mario and co.

    "Super Mario 3D World" is a 3D-platformer game which was released for Wii U by Nintendo near the end of November 2013. It is a sequel to "Super Mario 3D Land" which was released for Nintendo 3DS.

    Basic plot: Our famous heroes Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad are about to enjoy the fireworks outside of Peach's castle, when they discover a Clear Pipe. Lots of items and a green Sprixie Princess burst out from the pipe. The Sprixie Princess needs help, and tells the heroes about six of her fellows having gotten kidnapped by Bowser. Bowser suddenly emerges from the pipe and kidnaps her, so Mario and company have to save all the seven kidnapped Sprixie Princesses...

    This is a game which I got during Christmas Eve 2013, and I enjoyed from the first second I began playing it. Besides from the different 3D-worlds and the various challenges, I also liked the new items, including the Cat Suit which allows the heroes to climb up high walls. And if that isn't enough, I also liked the idea of having up to 4 players to play the game, and not at least choose any of the four characters. I, for the most part, played as Peach.

    And if you are interested, an another character named Rosalina can be unlocked in the first Bonus World.

    Conclusion: If you enjoy anything related to Mario and company, but yet haven't play this game as of today, then I recommend you to buy this game, if not only play this one at least once. My overall rating: 9/10.
