LFF 2017: Brawl In Cell Block 99
Movie Review | Becky Suter | 17th October 2017
Did you know you can kick a man’s head off? Like, clean off his shoulders? Or witness what a face looks like after it’s been stomped by a pair of size 10s? Have you ever seen a jaw literally, literally drop to the floor? How about enjoying funny guy Vince Vaughn in a prison movie with brains, but those brains are frequently splattered across the concrete ground? Before I saw Brawl In Cell Block 99, I wasn’t aware of any of these things. God, I was a different person back then. It is, as a colleague described it, the Citizen Kane of facial trauma movies. It’s Grade A Grindhouse. It’s V For Vaughndetta. It’s not like anything you’ve ever seen before.

Dexter: series finale – 'Remember the Monsters?'
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 4th October 2013
According to the internet, every series finale is either the greatest thing in recorded history or the worst thing ever visited on the commenter's eyes, undoing all the good work that came before it. Consensus on Dexter's swansong seems to be the latter. But I'm here to tell you that finales aren't as important as all that, and that this one, while flawed, was better than everyone seems to think. And you should take note, because like everyone else's on the internet, my opinion matters gravely. (Spoilers follow.)

The five worst things about Dexter
TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 24th September 2013
My relationship with Dexter is much like that of the protagonist with his girlfriend in the Smokey Robinson song "You've Really Got a Hold on Me". She mistreats him constantly, but he keeps coming back for more without really knowing why. I watch Dexter every week, cringing at various aspects of the writing, then look forward to the next episode. I'm an idiot.

Much easier than writing them all out and picking one from the spinning drum. Well done, Maria Laguerta: you win the brisket. -

Le Dexter! Il est un tueur en série! Mais vous l'aimez parce que son code moral est complexe! Septième saison commence le dimanche. (*Gallic shrug emoticon*) -

Dexter dismembers sister, reassembles corpse wrong way round

Dexter to spend season seven beating off in bed
TV News | Ed Williamson | 15th July 2012
Look, sorry, but I see someone squirming under bedsheets, I make a masturbation joke. It's just how I'm wired. See here for the other TV spot in which Jennifer Carpenter flicks herself off to 50 Shades of Grey. -
Non-regulation planking observed on set of Dexter
TV News | Ed Williamson | 25th June 2012
Jennifer Carpenter tweeted this photo of her and Michael C Hall from the Dexter set on Saturday. But according to Wikipedia, when planking, "both hands must touch the sides of the body". Amateurs.

Dexter: season six
TV Review | Ed Williamson | 21st June 2012
I'm like a reviewing machine these days. I mean, not a very efficient machine; one that churns out two things a week inbetween nodding off on the sofa in front of the football. But hey, that's British manufacturing for you. Coming at'cha down the review conveyor belt tonight: Dexter vs God.
