Cold In July

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 24th June 2014

Ever play that game where you begin with a sentence, then go round the circle and everyone gets a turn to write the next sentence, and you end up with a story? Not since you were nine, you say? OK, bear with me. Imagine that everyone in the first half of the circle was a black-hearted fan of moody, intense home invasion thrillers.

Dexter finale "just like Friday Night Lights", says Showtime boss

TV News | Ed Williamson | 16th June 2013

Showtime boss David Nevins has said of the upcoming Dexter series finale: "We had a similar thing on Friday Night Lights when I was a producer: we had an ending that we'd planned two years in advance, and I thought that show ended beautifully. Dexter should be on the same path." So he's going to move to Philadelphia and coach high-school football? Can't see that ending well.

Dexter: unexpected item in bagging area

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 6th May 2013

His mum never told him it was dangerous to put his head in a plastic bag, obviously. In fairness she might've been a bit busy getting murdered with a chainsaw. He wants to watch out, though: could end up having a nasty accident like this.
