I’m pretty sure I saw her describe herself on a talk show one time as being from Alberta (specifically Ft. McMurray, now that my memory is refreshed by the imdb link). That was the basis of my comment.
On your unrelated note, I think Saskatchewanians always think of themselves as such, regardless of how long they’ve been living elsewhere. Time doesn’t heal the betrayal those of us who’ve stayed feel, though. 
Ah, yes. Species.
That is My Official Worst Movie I’ve Ever Seen.
(My Official Second Worst Movie I’ve Ever Seen is Eraser, you know, with Ahnuld, but that’s another thread. Blech!)
I’ve seen a lot of movies. So you know there are going to be some really bad ones. But that one was truly The Worst. Ever.
While we’re at it, I hear that Birth of a Nation is pretty damned racist.
I think Uwe Boll’s movies shoudl have a warning label:
“Directed and leached of all good bits by Uwe Boll.”
I’ve been trying to wonder how someone like Uwe Boll or Paul Anderson gets work. Do they have some naught photos of someone? Since it’s Hollywood we’re talking about, it must be something really, really bad. (cheap shot)
Personally, I liked Species (although I was in high school at the time, and haven’t seen it since). For a T&A-heavy sci-fi/action/horror movie, it has a pretty good cast: Ben Kingsley, Natasha Henstridge, Marg Helgenberger (currently popular on CSI), Michael Madsen (one of Tarantino’s regulars), Forrest Whittaker as the “psychic,” and Alfred Molina, who is always good. It had some hot-chick nudity, some action, and I remember liking the fact that Madsen, supposedly the guy who could “kill anything,” had a pet cat that he took to his neighbor to take care of. I think there are hundreds of worse movies that have been released since Species, just in the sci-fi, horror, and action genres. Next thing I know, you guys are gonna tell me that Army of Darkness or Buckaroo Banzai suck!
I enjoyed Species because it has several scenes where you can say “Run, Forrest, run!” and pretend you’re watching Forest Gump. And the tits, of course - can’t forget the tits.
His name alone should be enough by this point.
You can see for yourself the evidence for Ben Kingley’s next impending embarrassment here. Big file; high bandwidth users only.
And hey, guess what! This reunites Kingsley with his Species co-star Michael Madsen. Except Bloodrayne looks to be so bad even Madsen will be embarrassed to be in it. And given his filmography, that’s saying something.
Makes Red Sonja look like Tokyo Story, frankly. Where’s Marc Singer when you need him?
Natasha Henstridge is so hot that when she has spikes emerging from her back I was still thinking I would do her 
“Species” can’t possibly be the worst movie ever if for no other reason (and frankly I can’t think of any OTHER reason) than the delightfully nekkid Ms. Henstridge.
But it still sucked pretty bad. We still call it “Feces” to this day.
If you want a truly awful film (and don’t say you weren’t warned) watch “Mission To Mars”. Ask me about the special, pre-release, sneak preview I saw and how the audience reacted.
Oddly enough I heard that the plot of “Species” came from one of the aborted “Alien 3” scripts…
I saw that one. In the edited Scifi Channel premiere, and the “director’s cut” DVD. (It was rent two, get a third for a nickel day at the video store.)
It was very, ah…
Well, you couldn’t see the zippers in the alien makeup. The effects, for a not-quite low budget video movie, weren’t bad. Weren’t spectacular, but not “awful.”
Natasha’s in it. For about five minutes. Wearing a sheet.
The unedited version had about one minute of nudity added in. And I think they said “fuck” once or twice.
The plot was…not too cliched, I’ll give it that much. It was unusually stupid—even compared with the other two movies—but it wasn’t completely formulaic.
All in all, it just misses being “aggressively mediocre.”
The other two movies? Well, they’re a step above crappy soft-core cable porn. The nudity and cinematography are a bit better, and there are some quality exploding monsters.
With tentacles, even! That’s what made it acceptably hot for me.

We went to see “Mission to Mars” (we’re Sci-fi geeks - we’ll watch just about anything in the name of Sci-fi). It was kinda heartbreaking - it had a fantastic cast, presumably a good director and producer, the script could have been great, and somehow it managed to miss on all levels. You know that “magic” that some films have - well, this one had the opposite.
I’d just like to say that I thought the boobies in Species were truly spectacular.
Natasha Henstridge seems to be adequately supported as it is.
