The sci-fi/fantasy film “Bright” lands on Netflix and the midseason premiere of “Fuller House” takes the gang to Japan.
Bright (Netflix) – Netflix’s costly Will Smith sci-fi action drama is either really good or possible the worst movie of 2017, depending on which critic you trust. Honestly, the film looks all kinds of weird with Smith playing a human cop forced to work with an orc partner (Joel Edgerton) to prove his division can coexist with different species while he also hunts for this magic wand and kills some bad elves. So it’s basically the fantasy version of Bad Boys.
Fuller House (Netflix) – The show’s midseason premiere kicks off with a trip to Japan for a wedding, and Kimmy trying her best to get pregnant with her “easy bake oven.” Also, lots of hugs and cute babies with dogs.
