BINGES & MORE
A binge is a spree, usually as in drinking. However, my binges are entertainment venues that are good for you and can last for hours or days. They can be DVDs or be streamed or viewed on paid cable or traditional television. I love binges and recommend them in your viewing diet at least once a month. It is kind of a cultural fix that is satisfying. I will also recommend outstanding past and present films, particularly independent and foreign.

AMAZING FINDS
