Author Archive for Craig Busek
Craig Busek is originally from Taunton, Somerset and moved to London in 2010 to begin his studies in script writing. As of yet Craig has had a few online articles published and of his completed short-scripts, three have become completed projects, one of which was shortlisted for an award at Sundance London Film Festival. Craig has no particular genre of film or music that interests him the most and overall he tries to give a fairly objective opinion about all of the work that he does and the arts that he reviews. Craig’s biggest interest, besides writing, is rugby, and from that he has developed a keen interest in writing sports reviews.
Film Review: The Paperboy
After its recent slating at the Cannes Film Festival, with audiences mooing (yes, mooing!) after seeing the initial screening, I went in to The Paperboy with a lot of trepidation. Indeed, with a cast that includes Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, and the consistently terrible Matthew McConaughey, there was nothing more than the appeal of seeing [...]
Six Nations Review – 2013
March 2013 saw the exciting climax of the Northern Hemisphere’s most prolific rugby event – RBS Six Nations Rugby. Albeit the final table shows a vast range in class between certain teams, for example Wales’s four wins to France’s one, it cannot be said that the quality of rugby in the 2013 tournament has not [...]
Film Review – Gangster Squad
Gangster Squad, 2013’s first big-cast all-action picture, was released to cinemas last week; and for anticipatory fans such as myself, it came not a moment too soon. With a four-month extension of its release date, this is a film that has garnered a lot of attention in its pre-release, and in doing so it [...]
Film Review – The Hobbit
It has been nine years since the final instalment of one of cinema’s finest movie trilogies. Nine years of DVD and Blu-Ray releases, box sets, director’s cuts, and extended editions. In that time, The Lord of the Rings has become one of the most-loved, most appreciated series of films for men and women of all [...]
Should We Expect Less This Christmas?
There was a recent report done about the number of chocolates that you would be getting in a tin of Roses™ chocolates for Christmas this year, which showed that on average, there would be two less chocolates per tin in the year of 2011. Of course, the price has not dropped and consumers are suggesting [...]
Film Review: Friends With Kids
Incorporating four of the five main actors from the 2010 smash-hit, Bridesmaids, new comedy blockbuster Friends With Kids holds a lot of promise with its cast’s reputatio. It seems logical to think now, after shooting up through the ranks, that anything with Kristen Wiig’s face on it is going to be golden. However, sadly, this [...]
Film Review – American Pie: Reunion
With the latest release of the Marvel franchise, Avengers Assemble, hitting our screens last month, it is little surprise that one of the year’s hotly anticipated sequels, American Pie: Reunion, somewhat slipped under the wire. The fourth of the original series, the eight of the overall franchise, this instalment saw all of the class of ’99 [...]

Shame is available to rent on 7 May 2012 on DVD & Blu-Ray exclusively from Blockbuster and will be available to buy or rent elsewhere on 14 May 2012. To celebrate the release of the DVD, we take another look at Craig Busek’s review of this fearless, frank and compelling movie which was on the big [...]
Film Review: The Descendants
After taking a more supporting role in this year’s The Ides of March, which was his fifth stint in the director’s chair, George Clooney has shown, once again, that he is not quite done being the leading man, after starring in this year’s The Descendants. This is a bittersweet film is about a Hawaiian landowner, [...]
Review: The Six Nations 2012
With The Olympics and the UEFA European Championships just around the corner, there is a lot to be said for 2012’s sporting calendar. However, whilst the anticipation of the summer’s events rises, the first sporting major event of the year came to an end this weekend – the thirteenth year of rugby’s Six Nations. Pulling [...]
Film Review – A Dangerous Method
When going in to watch a David Cronenberg film, there should always be a certain level of trepidation with regards to the subject matter. Daring, as well as thought provoking, the seasoned director has always sought to shock, as well as entertain an audience with controversial subject matters. With his most recent venture, A Dangerous [...]
Does Media Have a Negative Influence on Education?
“Sittin’ in the classroom, thinking it’s a drag”. A poignant line from Motley Crue’s anti-school song, Smoking in the Boys Room, that rings true the feelings of many students. Hilary Wilce, a specialist in education, quotes: “the best learning often happens outside the classroom”. There could be several reasons for this. Perhaps classrooms are too dull [...]
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival
In the peak of summer, where would you most likely spend your holidays? For a lot of people, skiing in the Alps or sunning on a beach in the Caribbean has a lot of appeal. However for over 20,000 people, it is the capital of Scotland has the biggest drawing point. Edinburgh. A city of [...]
What Has Happened to Sports Stars?
There was a time when sports stars were respected; revered throughout our nation. The likes of Sir Bobby Charlton or JPR Williams gave out a professional, gentlemanly conduct that was seen and loved throughout the country. Now, however, there is little to suggest that our sporting personalities do anything to be respected. The conduct shown [...]
