As some of you know that I live in a small village out in the countryside of the westcoast of Sweden.

This day 20 years ago I was a really happy guy because I got my very first film review published in the local paper "Markbladet". This paper had been around since the late 60`s and they never had any film reviews ever until I stepped in there and said that I would love to be there film critic. Yes, I had to write some reviews intended just for the editor of the paper so he could see that I could write reviews and how they would end up looking.

So this day 20 years ago I had my very first film review published and it was to a Swedish movie called "Miffo" because the main character has the name Tobias (just like me). I got 75 Swedish Kronor per review and I reviewed somewhere between 1-5 movies per week each week for over a year. Actually my last review was published on July 7th 2005 and it was to the very first Saw. So happy 20 to me.

Cool. You should keep them catalogued. Will be fun to look back on when you're old and grey.

Awesome when you can get paid to do what you love.

Cool story. Happy Anniversary to you.

Tobias, after reading your profile, I decided to look up through google Skene, Sweden. The pictures show a beautiful town or village.

Thanks. To call Skene a town is a little bit of a stretch but hey I am fine with that.

Yes, to actually get paid instead of paying to watch a movie is awesome. It was not much but I can`t complain.

Very nice. Watch a movie, write a review, get paid -- more people probably think they can do that, than can actually pull it off.
