January is the month that follows the great Month of Many Lists, Listuary, Great List's Eve, the Holiday of Lists, the month in which we celebrate the birth of Lists and the turning over of new Lists so that we may look ahead to the year of Lists ahead.

And much like shitty action flicks that sneak around this time of years, we're confident many releases slipped under our mediocrity radar over the past 31 days. No luck for these folks:
