Dramatic last couple of days. Was hospitalized with a "large, gall stone" and had to have my whole inflamed gall bladder removed. Got back to from the hospital today. I didn't need that thing anyway. Praise Odin (who knows a think or two about missing body parts), for free Norwegian healthcare!

That'll do, Toothless. That'll do. My full review of #HowtoTrainYourDragon is up on my Substack now. #FilmSky

That'll do, Toothless. That'll do. #FilmSky #HowtoTrainYourDragon

It's Friday night (or technically, it's Saturday here in the CET), so here are my #LastFourWatched. #FilmSky

With the new #AlienEarth series coming up soon, I thought I'd share this little article I wrote shortly after the premiere of #AlienRomulus last year. Enjoy. #FilmSky #Alien

And here is my review of #Ballerina for the @letterboxd.social crowd: #FilmSky

Ana de Armas steps into the John Wick universe with style, grit, and bloodshed. But can it stand without the Baba Yaga? Read my full review of From the World of John Wick: Ballerina on my Substack: #FilmSky #JohnWick #Ballerina #FromtheWorldofJohnWickBallerina

Hi folks. I've been active in FIPRESCI (The International Federation Film Critics) for some years now, and this year, I've started working directly with the core team. One of my new responsibilities is to run FIPRESCI's new Letterboxd HQ profile. Check it out: #FilmSky #FilmFestivals

48 years old today. That’s nothing. That’s not even halfway to… uhm… 100. 🥳

Gold, absolutely gold! 😁 #theinternet

It's Friday, and that means #LastFourWatched: #FilmSky You can find my profile on: boxd.it/Of1T

Landing on Apple TV+ tomorrow, Guy Ritchie's "Fountain of Youth" might be one of the least original adventure films I’ve ever seen. Read my review, complete with a suggested drinking game. 🍸 #FountainofYouth #AppleTV #FilmSky

And here we go. Yes, it’s a review of Lilo & Stitch (2025). No, it doesn’t follow the standard review formula. Unless that formula includes emotional baggage and space dogs. #LiloandStitch #FilmSky #FilmReviews #Disney

An English version of my (quite personal) review of Lilo & Stitch (2025) is written and scheduled for tomorrow on my Substack (www.thebullseye.no) 😊 #LiloandStitch #FilmSky #Disney

Excellent. I’ll be in the FIPRESCI (The International Federation of Film Critics) jury for this year’s Brussels International Film Festival (June 20-28). This year also marks FIPRESCI’s 100th anniversary, so it will be extra special, as we celebrate it in festivals around the world. #FilmSky

It's Letterboxd Friday, so here are my #LastFourWatched: #FilmSky

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read my review of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning: #MissionImpossibleTheFinaleReckoning #MissionImpossible #TomCruise #FilmSky

It's heeere! Check out my review of 'Love, Death + Robots Volume 4' #LoveDeathRobots #Netflix

Now without the paywall. Here is an article I wrote after a Zoom Q&A with Diego Luna prior to the premiere of Andor season 2. Enjoy! #Andor #AndorSeason2 #DiegoLuna #StarWars

Happy birthday to the Maker, George Lucas! 🎉🥳 #StarWars #GeorgeLucas

Perfection! #Andor #AndorSeason2 #StarWars #RogueOne

Ahead of tonight’s #Andor finale, I encourage you to take a minute (if you haven’t already) to read up on my analysis piece about the show’s driving theme of empathy and how it’s the real key to victory over darkness. #StarWars screenrant.com/star-wars-an...

It’s Andor finale night! 🥹 To mark the occasion, here’s my coverage of the Zoom Q&A we had with writer/director Tony Gilroy a few weeks ago—now free to read, no paywall! Stone and Sky! #Andor #AndorSeason2 #StarWars #TonyGilroy

#Andor might be ending this week, but this poster, signed by Tony Gilroy and several members of the cast, will remain framed on my wall forever, I think. 🤩 #StarWars #AndorSeason2

Rewatching McQuarrie's #MissionImpossible films in preparation for Thursday's press screening for #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning, and I got a cool little surprise when I logged my review on Letterboxd. Didn't know about that easter egg. Good stuff. 😁 #FilmSky

My review of #Murderbot, based on Martha Wells' novella "All Systems Red" and starring Alexander Skarsgård, is out now on my Substack. And if you're fluent in Danish, you can read it on Moovy.dk. @marthawells.com #AppleTV #sciencefiction

My review for Love, Death + Robots Volume 4 is written and scheduled to be published on my Substack on May 15. #Netflix #LoveDeathRobots

It’s Letterboxd Friday, so here are my #LastFourWatched. Fountain of Youth is still under embargo, but the review will appear on my Substack, and on Letterboxd, on May 22. @letterboxd.social #FilmSky

Watching the fourth Volume of Love, Death + Robots now, for a review next week. Oh my, the madness of it all. 😁 #LoveDeathandRobots #Netflix #Animation

While it is a bit slow at times, #TheEternaut on #Netflix is a fun, creepy and exiting watch. Approved!

Just heard from Apple that I will get very early access to season 3 of Foundation and join press events. Which is nothing special. I do these things all the time. But it’s #Foundation! 🤩

Working on a review for an upcoming film (I won’t mention the title) and I’m sitting here giggling at my own sardonic humor. Maybe this one won’t be such a bother to write after all? 😁 #FilmSky

FIPRESCI (The International Federation of Film Critics) now has a Letterboxd HQ profile (@letterboxd.social), and as a member of the organization, I will run it. I just set it up, so there isn't much there yet, but if you love film, follow along, as we'll get it going very soon! #FilmSky

😁 #StarWars

Surely, this is some weird satire, right? Right?? #StarWars

May the 4th be with you! 🤩 #StarWars

If you like the film/TV/pop culture stuff I drop here now and then, "The Bull’s Eye" over on Substack is where I’m doing it properly. Come hang out. Free or paid, all are welcome. #FilmSky #Substack

My #LastFourWatched, at least when it comes to movies: #FilmSky

Here’s a Q&A and behind-the-scenes look with the cast and creators of Marvel’s Thunderbolts*. Enjoy. 😊 #Thunderbolts #MCU #FilmSky

The Avengers weren't available, so they sent the Thunderbolts instead, and we're all the better for it! Here is my review of this latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. #Thunderbolts #FilmSky #Marvel #MCU

Thunderbolt* week is upon us. Review incoming! #FilmSky #Marvel #Thunderbolts

Yes, #Andor is a very different, and very dark #StarWars show. And I love it for that. This is from a Zoom we did with Tony Gilroy (full article on my Substack):

Want to hear me geek out about the new season of the #StarWars live action show #Andor? Then you can. You might even understand it too if you're fluent in Norwegian. 😁 Here is our Andor episode, covering episodes 1-3 and lots more.

Messy, sometimes incoherent, but when #Havoc finally gets going, it’s completely bonkers. Check out my review of the Tom Hardy led action-thriller here, from director Gareth Evans. Coming to #Netflix on April 25.

This looks very interesting! #PredatorBadlands
