Dan and I found it gripping and grim. Very well done. If you don’t mind loan sharks and a little blood. Good night.

- I'm Alice and I've been writing for most of my life--first, in a little green five-year diary my friend Lorraine gave me for Christmas in 6th grade, then for newspapers, magazines, websites and companies. I've blogged here, often daily, since Feb. 2010, trying hard to write truthfully even when it's scary. My husband and I are now freelance writers, so sometimes still we can afford salmon for dinner and sometimes we can't. Our daughter (blog name Figgy) is an artist and scientist in cyanobacteria algae research. The teen we are raising as legal guardians but have loved as our own (code name Punch/Skippy/Spice/Spike) is in high school. Our days range from sunny to sad, successful, sweet or funny.

Glad you said gripping, bc I saw trailer and thought I do not want to spend 2 hours with this character. But the performance is getting good reviews, so I will see it if he gets an Oscar nod. Off to Little Women today.

Hi Liz. Merry Christmastime! Hope you had a lovely holiday. Dan and I both thought Sandler's performance in this movie was remarkable. He inhabited the character so well. I also loved Idina Menzel (sp) and Judd Hirsch. I walk by the Diamond District in NYC and may never view it the same way again. The view of Jewish family traditions, celebrating Passover--also excellent. Disturbing what is going on in the news with Jewish family targeted during Hanukkah. Worst. Love Alice
