I've been debating all month long as to whether or not I should continue Pick My Flick, but as the month draws to a close, I can't let it end without doing it. After all, I've said all along that each month I'd let you guys choose a movie for me to watch, and I think I should try to keep that promise. So yes, this is a bit rushed and last minute, but just think of it as a speed round! Here are your 5 choices for January 2015's Pick My Flick!
