I thought Keepers was pretty tame really. What does that say about me? I guess we've heard it all before and have come to expect this from law enforcement/ government etc. Anyone who watched it got a theory on who did it? Ed and the gay brother Billy were suspicious and the guy she was in love with Koob and that other nun Russell know more than they were letting on. Anyway cheers. Was a good watch overall.
I know this is supposed to be films but Marvel's The Punisher is pretty good.
I've got Lucky Logan to watch but not really interested for some reason, anyone seen that yet?

Alpha The exorcist series started off strong and degenerated into ridiculousness, it was good the way that they tied it into the film but that didn't save it in my opinion.
Had they kept it as a single exorcism then it would have been fine and it could have faithfully concluded Regans story, had it been just 5 or 6 episodes then it would have benefited from stronger writing and not suffered from as much filler, the whole thing with the rich folk sitting around the table begging to be possessed was cringe worthy.
The second series is even worse, now we have two ex priests running around finding people who require exorcisms in every town the visit, I'm about 5 episodes into it and it is just a complete departure from anything that the original was ever about, it might have been a little more enjoyable if they were not still using The Exorcist name, had it been in the same vein as American Horror Story where each season is completely different then I may have been able to get on board with it a little bit more.
I know I should probably ignore the Exorcist connection but as a huge fan of the original film and book I struggle to look past it.
I've started The Punisher as well, I love the Marvel TV universe and I would prefer to watch them than the films to be honest, they don't always hit the mark (Iron Fist and Luke Cage's solo outings were pretty terrible) but they are grittier than the films. I've only seen the first 2 episodes but they look pretty solid so far.
Completely agree with The Keepers, I've got 2 episodes left and yeah, whilst its horrific and terrible etc I just don't find it all that shocking anymore.
Oh and I've got no interest what so ever in Logan Lucky
