Movie Reviews and Previews A Riverdale Reunion Lisa Frankenstein opens at the end of this week—the closest thing to a mainstream romantic movie coming in time for Valentine’s Day, where the F-CK was the planning for that holiday this year?!—and there was a screening in LA the other night for the film.
