***Although Ms. Thomas isn't featured front row center in this film, she plays a darn good 19th century British biologist (hard to recognize her as she is dressed down quite a bit, esp. relative to Patsy Kensit) in this visually beautiful (like Greenaway's films) story of marriage and family gone dead wrong (hint: "Insect" is an anagram).

It is a very good movie, indeed. I have to admit to not recognizing her right away.

I think Kristin is much underutilized and is one of good actors waiting for proper material to trully open up.

***About "Mimic"--Mira Sorvino was on Jay Leno promoting that film, but she made it a hilarious interview by using her "Mighty Aphrodite" dim-bulb voice to read her genetic-engineering entomology speech near the beginning of the film (explaining how science stopped their plague). Boy, I'd love a videotape of that speech!

I still can't make up my mind about Mira. I am perfectly inclined to give her some benefit of the doubt, and I think she was intriquing in the Mighty, but I recently saw several of her movies and they were all disasters to various degree. It looks like she can't play worth one rusty penny unless she finds herself in extremely capable guiding hands - read Woody Allen's. She may forever remain a one-movie actress and join Ryan O'Neal with his only, but simply great, work in Barry Lyndon.

As sad as this small group is, it is still far better than what most actors are ever able to achieve in their lifetime.

Or was she good in any movie that I missed?
