Summer is knocking on the door. Soon heat will burn everything and make lower Cyprus look like Mars. But now everything is blooming. And water is water is warm enough to spend him on the seaside.

Limassol Carnival 2013

We went out to see Limassol Carnival this year (2013). I’m surprised people are participating at all. Though, I have to say, they do describe their view through costumes and plackcards.

Mr. Moto series

As the world goes crazy, I love to relax in the evening and watch an old movie. I love black and white films, especially detectives and crimes.

I came across Mr. Moto series with Peter Lorre starring. Since I saw some old films by Hitchcock, Lorre became one of my favorite actors. But in Mr. Moto series he is even better.

Then I read about dramatic, sometimes tragic events in his life. And, of course, when you see him acting in movies in a later period, you can understand, he underwent a lot of things and turns in his life.

But Mr. Moto, definitely is the character I shall remember him for.

I found a great blog post by Howard M. Berlin about the series. Looks like I didn’t see the ninth episode with Henry Sylva starring.

Another blog article by Kames S. Koga tells about the books by John P. Marquand, which were dramatized.

War ideas in Russian political thought

I watched a year 2013 prediction program on Echo Moskvy with Gleb Pavlovsky and Oleg Sysujev. In this program Mr. Pavlovsky touched the idea that some time soon another global war to come. As he puts it:

“it may not be another World War, the world will not be the same after it”.

This is what I also sense. May be, though it’s just my immigrant mindset.

Poirot series is back in 2013

May be, I’ve become obsessed with TV series, but it’s the second best sleep remedy after a boring book. I do love to watch an episode at night as well as a old black and white movie.

I love Poirot by Agatha Christie series since almost my childhood. I remember watching it together with my family back at home in Russia.

I’ve found out that a new season (Season 13) is getting ready for 2013. I saw Hugh Frazer in one or two episodes only and no sign of Pauline Moran. It means Poirot will be lonesome again. But the best thing he is back. I could only wish for more episodes to come.
