I have a special place in my heart for SPECIES.
It was one of the very first R-rated movies I ever saw. It was one of the very first horror movies I ever saw. And it was definitely the very first "Titty Flick" I ever saw. I'll ever forget how much boobage there was in the movie. It seemed endless to a preteen Mike.
Plus, that chick in the bathroom who gets her whole f*cking spine ripped out was mind-blowing to me back in the day. Hell, it's still top-notch effects work when I see it today!
And that cast! Michael Madsen, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker, Marg Helgenberger, Michelle Williams, and the above mentioned Natasha Henstridge… That's got to be the best cast a sci-fi titty flick has ever boasted!
