Review – Lisa Frankenstein

Reviewer David Leninhawk returns with a look at Lisa Frankenstein. Growing up in the late 80s/early 90s, my grandparents had HBO. One of the big complaints from people who paid for HBO at the time was that they played the same movies over and over again. This meant, however, that as a kid I would
