Three underrated films to stream on Netflix this weekend

This weekend, movie lovers can choose between watching new releases in theaters or streaming films at home. Theaters will feature Disney’s live-action "Snow White" and Robert De Niro's crime drama "The Alto Knights." If you prefer staying in, Netflix has some hidden gems to consider. Three underrated movies are recommended for a fun viewing experience. The first is "Bad Words," a comedy from 2013. Jason Bateman stars as Guy Trilby, a nearly 40-year-old man who enters spelling bees against children. His rude and politically incorrect antics make for a hilarious, albeit crude, story about friendship and competition. "Bad Words" is available on Netflix. Next is "Upgrade," a 2018 cyberpunk action film. Set in the year 2046, it follows Grey Trace, played by Logan Marshall-Green, who seeks revenge after his wife is killed and he is paralyzed. He gets a chip implanted in his body that gives him super abilities. Directed by Leigh Whannell, the film is praised for its intense action and engaging premise. "Upgrade" can also be streamed on Netflix. Lastly, "Watcher" from 2022 tells the story of Julia, a woman who feels she is being stalked after moving to Bucharest. As she becomes increasingly paranoid, it’s unclear if her fears are real or imagined. The film effectively creates suspense and tension. "Watcher" is also available on Netflix. These three films offer a mix of humor, action, and suspense for those looking to enjoy a movie at home this weekend.
