January is often regarded as the worst month for movies, and for the most part, I agree. There really was nothing that stood out above the rest other than “Compliance” which came to DVD in January, but not to theaters. I also have a lot on my plate, so my number of movies per month will be a lot smaller from now on…for now at least.
