This time round it’s At Your Service, aka Servitude, a 2011 Canadian comedy about the restaurant industry.
Stars: Joe Dinicol, Rachel Skarsten, John Bregar, Enrico Colantoni, David Foley, Margot Kidder, Lauren Collins, Aaron Ashmore, Kristen Hager, Linda Kash | Written by Michael Sparaga | Directed by Warren P Sonoda

There's wish fulfillment and then there's Servitude, a homegrown comedy about the sometimes humiliating, often frustrating lot that is being a server and one young man's decision to say enough's enough.
Boasting an impressive cast led by Dave Foley, Joe Dinicol, John Bregar, Aaron Ashmore, Kristen Hager and Enrico Colantoni, the staff at a failing Western-themed restaurant run by a bumbling drunk has the last laugh as they finally give the spoiled brats, Blackberry-fixated businessmen and arrogant, ungrateful customers a piece of their minds in a wild night no one will ever forget.
You've watched the trailer and our own on-set visit and now we're bringing you the final poster of a movie that tells you, fists raised, to nut up and get your shift together!
Check it out!

Bloodwork Trailer, Phase One Trailer. Eric Wostenberg‘s Phase One (2011) movie trailer stars Tricia Helfer, Travis Van Winkle, Mircea Monroe, John Bregar, and Joe Pingue. Bloodwork / Phase One‘s plot synopsis: “Best friends Greg and Rob, college roommates, decide to earn a little extra cash by participating in a two-week pharmaceutical test over the Christmas holidays. Locked into a remote hospital facility far out in the isolated countryside, they find themselves part of a bizarre series of tests. But as order and control start to break down, it becomes clear that drugs are having increasingly dangerous side effects, and that no one involved in the test will be safe for long.”
This movie trailer starts out well but begins to drag at certain points. It reminded me of The Experiment (Das Experiment), Guinea Pigs, and a few scenes from Universal Soldier: Regeneration (reviewed here: Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2009) Film Review) where...

DVD Playhouse—September 2011
By Allen Gardner
In A Better World (Sony) Winner of last year’s Best Foreign Film Oscar, this Danish export looks at two fractured families and the effect that the adult world dysfunction has on their two sons, who form an immediate and potentially deadly bond. Director Susanne Bier delivers another powerful work that maintains its drive during the films’ first 2/3, then falters somewhat during the last act. Still, well-worth seeing, and beautifully made. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Deleted scenes; Commentary by Bier and editor Pernille Bech Christensen; Interview with Bier. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
X-men First Class (20th Century Fox) “Origins” film set in the early 1960s, traces the beginnings of Magento and Professor X (played ably here by Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy), and how the once-close friends and colleagues became bitter enemies. First half is slam-bang entertainment at its stylish best,...

The ransom is $3 million and the fathers of the kidnapped look ready to pay. But events rarely go well in film, right? It seems the turn in action is...
