Last year on Valentine’s Day, I saw “Titanic” in theaters during its 25th anniversary theatrical rerun. I think it was my best Valentine’s Day to date. In honor of new traditions, I’ve already started making plans to see “Lisa Frankenstein” for the holiday this year.
If you are feeling high and dry this Valentine’s Day, follow my lead to the movie theater. The popcorn, soda and entertainment (and maybe a date) will keep you company.
Here are 11 of the most-anticipated movies coming to theaters and streaming platforms in February.
