Species (1995)

You haven't lived until you've seen this erotic, sci-fi thriller about a team of scientists hunting an alien with one thing on her mind: procreating with every hunk she comes across. We ain't sayin' its high class; in fact, we might even use the word tawdry. But it's busting at the cocoon with cheesy lines, campy effects, and questionable decisions. Thrill as you watch an A-list cast battle a most fearsome foe (a poorly written screenplay?) in this 90s cult classic. Then, Peter Lorre reviews the dubious WWII espionage-horror, Black Dragons (1942).
