First Review: A new movie to watch for is Monty Miranda'S "Skills Like This", the story of Max Solomon. Max (Spencer Berger) is facing a crisis; he has always wanted to be a writer but on the day before his 25th birthday, he realizes that this will never happen. He becomes desperate and has reached the point in his life that he has no ideas to write about so he turns to crime which seems to give him a new passion but sends his two best friends off on a journey. Tommy (Brian T. Phelan), his slacker friend enters the job market and Dave (Gabriel Tiger man) becomes completely obsessed with writing the perfect apology letter. Throw a love interest, Lucy (Kerry Knapped), into this and decision time comes upon the group. In only three days, the lives of out characters are turned completely upside down and all because they think that larceny might be the best and only thing they can do. This is a very funny look at how a man can become a robber at the drop of a pin. The dialog is smart and witty and the viewer is taken on a fast ride to an unknown destination. Spencer Berger is not only the stat but the writer and both his acting and his script are full of charm. His white man's Afro hair cut is amazing and the lesson of what to do when one has no talent is a winner. This is the kind of film that becomes a cult classic and it can be seen over and over and still entertain.
