Chinese Dinner and Movies for Christmas

Christmas Eve: "Interstellar."

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Elaine and Larry who are visiting from Indiana. Of course our plan was movies and Chinese food, which we quite enjoyed. At 2:30 PM on Christmas Eve we went to a theater to see "Interstellar," which some of us liked a lot, some liked a little, and one hated. On Christmas Day we watched two movies on streaming video, took a walk in the park despite the gloominess and damp, and cooked and ate some Chinese food.

Christmas Morning: "Laura" (1944). Beautiful visuals in this film noir.

Christmas afternoon: "Insomnia." Rather strange movie.
