Vlog & Video: Twitter Sucks

It’s time again for me to share with you some of my favourite videos from around the web.  I try to keep things varied and interesting, sometimes even provocative (when occasion calls for it), and this week’s selection is no different.  From random sword play/dancing to Shia LaBeouf’s first go at filmmaking, this week’s videos … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: Child Abuser Caught On Film

THIS WEEK: Oct. 30 – Nov. 5, 2011 The Week At Large So teen heartthrob Justin Bieber has been accused of fathering an older woman’s baby, and Bieber’s fans have come to his defence, one even tweeting (in something of a raging incoherence), “‘WAH BITCH LEH THAT MARIAH YEATER. Not only is Justin affected, you … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: Dear Jack–Raffi’s Love Letter

THIS WEEK: October 23 – 29, 2011 The Week At Large Life is tough; life on a film set … well, that can be deadly. According to reports, a stuntman died late this past Thursday while filming an explosion scene on the set of The Expendables 2. It just goes to show that Hollywood isn’t … Continue reading

Vlog & Video: Give A Hug, Change The World

Even with Halloween a few days away, stores are already pulling out their Christmas decorations in anticipation of the winter season.  That’s right:  it feels like summer just ended, but already we’re thinking about finding our snow boots and winter jacket. But fear not, because my bi-monthly video segment is here to alleviate your seasonal … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: Best Love Story

THIS WEEK: October 16 – 20, 2011 The Week At Large So former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has been killed, and people are dancing in the streets in celebration.  Personally, I’m not sure his death—or anyone’s—should be a cause for celebration.  But speaking of death and celebration (a shameless segue if there ever was one), … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: Act of Valor—Popcorn or Propaganda?

THIS WEEK: October 9 – 15, 2011 The Week At Large It ain’t easy being dead.  Just ask the handful of extras who were injured during filming for Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil 5.  Apparently, while filming in Toronto, a wheeled platform collapsed, causing 16 actors dressed as zombies to fall nearly twenty feet … Continue reading

Vlog & Video: Deaf No More

With the (Canadian) Thanksgiving long weekend now over and done with, it’s time to head back to work. For many of us, this isn’t especially good news. But fear not, because my bi-monthly video segment is here to alleviate your work week woes. Last time, we kept the ball rolling with duelling pigeons, generic news, … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: No more Arrested Development!

THIS WEEK: October 2 – 8, 2011 The Week At Large This past week started well enough, but took a hell of a mid-week bump when news hit that Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple, died at age 56 after many years of battling pancreatic cancer.  My thoughts go out to his family and … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: The Shining Sequel

THIS WEEK: Sep. 25 – Oct. 1, 2011 The Week At Large Boobies:  apparently not appreciated by all farmers—superstar Rihanna’s boobies to be more precise.  Early this week, a Northern Ireland farmer demanded the singer leave his property after he spotted her topless while filming a music video for her latest single, “We Found Love.”  … Continue reading

Vlog & Video: Pigeon Fights, Dragon Tattoos, and More

Welcome back to Vlog & Video.  Two weeks ago, during the last “video” segment, we saw a kooky reinterpretation of the Backstreet Boys, a chameleon octopus, a tribute to police and fire fighters who died on 9/11, and an adaptation of Charlie Chaplin’s closing speech in The Great Dictator.  This week, I keep the tone … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: Freddie Mercury Meets YouTube

THIS WEEK: September 18 – 24, 2011 The Week At Large When it rains, it pours.  Early in the week, NASA admitted that, yes, a redundant satellite would be falling back to earth, and, yes, what’s left of it might in fact hit and kill you—squash you like a bug, actually.  Panicked for our lives, … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: Stay Nude, Scarlett Johansson

This Week: September 11 – 17, 2011 The Week At Large Last week, we heard that actor Mel Gibson is set to direct a movie about heroic Jews, which has many in the Jewish community a little worried.  But I like Gibson, and am willing to give him a second chance.  Kanye West, on the … Continue reading

Vlog & Video: The Greatest Speech Ever Made

Welcome back to Vlog & Video.  Last week I unveiled the ZS Roe Vlog; this week, I’m going to share with you some of my favourite videos from around the web, going from the absurd to the inspirational.  Stay tuned next week for the second instalment in the vlog. RANDOM I’m sure this video, whatever … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: Mel Gibson’s Jewish Hero

This Week: September 4 – 10, 2011 Welcome back to The 168 Turnaround, though now newly modified.  I’ll still be running through my favourite Entertainment news from the past week (or 168 hours).  Instead of spending the same amount of time on each topic, however, I’ll give a quick recap of the week, and then … Continue reading

The 168 Turnaround: A Few Last Words…

A&E NEWS: August 21 – 27, 2011 NEW POSTS ON SEPTMEBER 6, 2011 VACATION:  It’s pretty lousy of me to take a week off from work and go camping.  I know—you don’t need to say it.  Everybody needs time away from work, but my commitment should be here, at http://www.zsroe.com.  I should be writing extra … Continue reading
