Like any year before it, 2025 saw the release of countless new films, and we here at Byte have thoroughly enjoyed many of them. While the following is not a comprehensive list of this year’s best features, enjoy a selection of our staff’s favorite new flicks!
Wake Up Dead Man is proof that audiences yearn for another classic whodunnit story.
Zootopia 2 didn’t have the same magic and whimsy as the first movie, but it didn’t try to. It traded that for an emotional, character-driven plot, and I really appreciated it.
There were a plethora of exciting new announcements at this year's Game Awards. Here are just a few.
Despite Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 getting positive reception from massive fans of the game franchise, the film feels a little lackluster beyond the animatronics. Here is Byte staff’s review of the film.
As the two-year Wicked saga comes to a close, Wicked: For Good was a rocky, but entertaining end to the stage show turned musical film.

Nominations for 2025's Game Awards have been revealed, with Expedition 33 taking the lead.
People R Ugly’s debut album GARAGE is one of the greatest pop-punk albums of the decade. The energy and the sound this record provides left me a fan for life.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is a beautiful cinematic experience lifted by an engaging story, masterful animation, and an enthralling soundtrack that makes this devil-filled world feel at home on the big screen.
Peacemaker Season 2’s interesting narrative is ultimately sabotaged by poor pacing and franchise setup, making what could be a fantastic continuation fall short.
After her two-year-long, highest-grossing Eras Tour, Taylor Swift releases her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. But does it really accurately reflect her time on tour?
These books and many others encourage people to develop empathy for those whose stories may differ from their own. They also allow young people to see themselves represented in media and help them to feel less alone in a world that often tries to stifle differences.
The Happy Fits deliver a fresh new sound with some old charm in their romantically charged fourth album, Lovesick. Including two new band members, the record is a brave next step for the New Jersey-based indie rock band.
The swirling reverb of the instrumental and vocals are truly beautiful. The personal message, and even with the lows on the album, such as Hynes' poor execution of lines, this album stands on its own merit, and it's fun to see Hynes uphold his creativity once again.
Hugh Jackman’s recent visit to Ball State’s campus prompted us at Byte to think about our favorite movies that he has been in. This list details our top twelve picks!
