Movies: anything goes as long as I don't have to cringe while watching it.
Music: lots (old-school and 90s rap, groove and thrash metal, acid house, minimal techno, NYHC, southern rock, blues,...), again as long as I don't have to cringe while listening to it.
Former bodybuilder, but never been succesful nor very good at it. Now just staying in good shape.

Srpski film (2010)
It's sick, it certainly twisted but as a film it is really really well done.
I'm going to be short on this one. Every year it seems a filmmaker comes up with a new twisted idea and makes it into a film. Inside saw the light in 2007, 2008 appeared with the destroying film experience Martyrs and in 2009 Von Trier outed his depression with the almost equally disturbing Antichrist. It seems it was Serbia's turn this time around and , although it doesn't really top the aforementioned titles in the 'disturb'-department, they offer us horror fans a seriously twisted piece of cinematic insanity. The film is made all the more disturbing by the manic acting and nightmarish feel the film descends into in the second half of the movie. Where the first half is more about setting the mood it slowly builds up the story for the second half ,which really is a furious, eerie, feverish, nightmarish and insane descent into ( psychological, sexual as well as visual ) insanity. And boy is it well done. You just have to see it for yourselves just how well the directors knew how to capture all the madness on screen. You can show us all the depravity in the world , but if you don't know how to capture it right your film will fail. Both as a shock as well as a cinematic experience. Martyrs , Inside, Antichrist, Irreversible,... all knew how to work the audience and the makers of this film certainly knew how to too. As for the gore... This film is by no means a gore fest. There are no geysers of gore and blood spurts throwing at you from every direction during the entire running time. It's not as bloody as Martyrs or Inside or Cannibal Holocaust. The captured gore is brief and some of it ( thank god ) is mostly off screen. There are just a few scenes, but when they come they are as vile as it can be. It's more the psychological thought about it which is that gruesome. And one thing is for sure. It certainly will shock you. As a horror film I'd say this is a really really well done piece of work. An instant cult classic. Watch it and rate it for yourself.

Insane
First of all, the film isn't THAT gory. A film like The Devil's Rejects ( to which the film is compared to ) has more blood in it. Nevertheless, this film is just lunatic as hell. People are beaten, raped, urinated on, spit on,... and just plain humiliated. Andrew Howard gives a crazy performance and does an amazing job ! It's an unique technical experiment, the music and sound effects are disquieting and the atmosphere is pretty good. It does drag from time to time, but the pure insanity makes up for it. The ending really was a WTF-moment. Adam Mason really is a talented guy who knows to pull of grueling horror movies. This wild and gritty ride proves that again.
