I used to have an exact replica of the hellraiser cube, complete with the ability to open a gateway to hell.
I got it confiscated one friday night, when during a long session with it, my mate got his face ripped off which caused the staining of my mums fine indian rug.

Fair dos, Defoe's a really good actor, but I preferred Dennis Hopper in the first Speed because the film was just so damn tense.

Now that does sound good. I've seen pics about 'Tortured Souls', and yeah, dis**turbing is the word id chose to use!!!! Creepy sh*t.
As for Hellraiser, I just learnt that there are two new Hellraiser films, and from what I've read, They sound like two of the stupidest films of the series to date. Hallraiser: Deader sees a reporter going to investigate a cult called the "Deader" who I’m guessing, probably worship Pinhead or something equally as dumb.
The next one however goes even further. Hellraiser: Hellworld is about a group of kids who unlock Pinhead from his hell after completing the puzzle box on an online gaming website. I'll leave you a little to let the stupidity of that idea sink in.
Luckily not all is lost, Clive Barker who wrote and directed the original Hellraiser is also going to write and direct "Tortured Souls", a movie based on a short story he wrote for a group of action figures he designed for Todd McFarlane, who look fairly similar to the Cenobite of the Hallraiser films, only a lot more disturbing. Should hopefully be good.

Fair play. And Catwoman is ranked in the Bottom 100 on IMDB. I thought it was watchable. Not that good, but there's films a lot worse that should be on there rather than Catwoman.
