H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% EDIT “Everything in the film shows a deep understanding of prestige cinema, but it honors the genre’s traditions rather than redefining them.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “The film plays on a few familiar tropes, but through the sharp storytelling of Sam Raimi and the seamless performances of the leads, Send Help shines in all its survival-horror glory.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 15, 2026 Full Review The Straight Story (1999) 95% EDIT “Rather than nightmarish dreamscapes or avant-garde nightclubs, the dreams of The Straight Story are as simple as the open road. And through the open road, Lynch reveals a sweetness seldom seen in his canon.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Bone Temple stands as a sequel worthy of the original and cements 28 Years Later’s place in a post-Walking Dead, post-Train to Busan world, offering a cathartic examination of life, death, and memento mori.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Fire & Ash will be no stranger to the Academy Awards and will make plenty at the box office. Pandora still dazzles the visual senses, but without renewed narrative focus, Cameron’s world risks becoming a spectacle without the resonance of the original.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “Rental Family is among the best films of 2025. From the performances to the direction to the sweet cinematography and the core idea of compassion, Rental Family is the film 2025 needs.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Feb 15, 2026 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “Del Toro’s movies have been "event cinema" since his early days, and Frankenstein is no exception, as he blends the classic monster with classic literature in a way no director could. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Nov 18, 2025 Full Review ZombieCON Vol. 1 (2024) 86% EDIT “ZombieCon is a love letter to nerd culture and will have fans awaiting the sequel excitement only a true nerd can possess. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Growing Pains (2024) EDIT “Growing Pains, as it stands, has a lot of love poured into it. However, the lack of characterization and forced dialogue make the film difficult to champion, regardless of how much indie films need a champion. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Ghost Trail (2024) 97% EDIT “Ghost Trail has the unique ability to make global issues personal, bringing an audience to the POV of those at the heart of the crisis.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% EDIT “Caught Stealing brings joy, thrills, genuine surprises, fantastic performances, and just enough heartbreak. But more than anything else, Caught Stealing is a reminder of how much fun it is going to the movies. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Withdrawal (2025) EDIT “While Withdrawal has its faults at times, it’s a dark and wild ride, begging audiences to examine addiction at the heart of those at its core.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Signs of Life (2025) EDIT “Signs of Life will find an audience, but Millson’s next indie feature will likely earn him the indie accolades this film is seeking. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review The Regulars (2025) EDIT “The tales and triumphs of The Regulars is not for everyone, but for those longing for the days of Dante & Randal at the quick-stop, Fil & Dusty will provide plenty of nostalgia even for the most cynical. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Ebony & Ivory (2024) 73% EDIT “Someday Ebony & Ivory could share the same space as Samurai Cop or The Velocipastor, yet it lacks the charm and stakes that let so many cult classics earn their cult status. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review The Balconettes (2024) 76% EDIT “At its core, The Balconettes is a relevant film addressing relationships, the creative process, female empowerment, an assault on predatory behavior, and a feminist anthem all rolled into a haunting, thrilling, funny, and engaging cinematic experience.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Aug 19, 2025 Full Review If You Should Leave Before Me (2025) 90% EDIT “If You Should Leave Before Me is not for everyone, but it’s something for indie fans to admire. Creativity and indie innovation combined with a passion for filmmaking radiate through every scene, making it a solid watch.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Aug 1, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% EDIT “...for those craving an artistic take on the zombie plague and a rich narrative filled with emotional nuance, 28 Years Later is among the best zombie media. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 16, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 92% EDIT “By way of HUNTR/X’s lush sound, Kpop Demonhunters flaunts flawless animation and rich themes that radiate from the opening bars to the closing credits.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “Jonathan Bailey is charming, and hearing the theme music feels like a treat for the movie lover’s soul. But nothing in Rebirth merits the joys of the original or the engagement to stand on its own glories.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Lilo & Stitch (2025) 72% EDIT “2025’s Lilo & Stitch grasps the heart of the source material better than any live-action remake in the Disney catalog, sharing a moving, hilarious, and chaotic story of love, acceptance, and most of all, “Ohana.”” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% EDIT “More so than previous installments, Dead Reckoning feels like a fandom film farewell. Easter eggs to prior installments line the story and more than a few familiar faces rejoin for a seeming sendoff to Ethan Hunt.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 7, 2025 Full Review The Extraordinary Miss Flower (2025) 91% EDIT “The Extraordinary Miss Flower is a movie you feel more than you think. The concept may seem strange, but the viewing experience is mesmerizing as two excellent directors introduce the world to a fascinating woman of history. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Sound Spring (2024) EDIT “Sound Spring carries several important messages throughout its story, but the film rarely engages viewers with a strong call to action or education. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese May 12, 2025 Full Review Anuja (2025) EDIT “The performances are phenomenal, and the script and direction are Oscar-worthy, but with Anuja, the message takes center stage. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese May 6, 2025 Full Review
