I so love stop-motion animation and these early shorts by Aardman Animations were fun to watch. Nothing totally amazed me--I especially liked "Wat's Pig" as a newer take on the Prince and the Pauper storyline. If you need a diversion and just want to be entertained, you can't go wrong with these.

Hiatus Extension

My hiatus has been extended a bit since things are taking longer with my move than expected. Look for posts again starting next week (hopefully) or early November!

One Month Hiatus

A Moving Story Scope will be on hiatus from September 26 through October 17 since I am moving into my first house! I'll likely start blogging again once everything is in place. Look forward to a few thrillers just in time for Halloween:

Purple Noon


Cape Fear

Sisters, Coping, Grief, Complex Relationships, Adjustment

An understated beauty. Kristin Scott Thomas is remarkable in her portrayal of a grieving woman so tormented with guilt and loss that she does not feel she deserves happiness or love. A very important film about love, patience, and acceptance.
