M.N. Miller
Tomatometer-approved critic
I am the senior contributor for Ready Steady Cut and a proud Las Vegas Film Critic Society member. I'm patiently waiting for the next Pearl Jam album and kill time by scratching my wife's back on Sunday afternoons while she watches endless reruns of California Dreams. I was proclaimed the smartest reviewer alive by actor Jason Isaacs, but I have chosen to ignore the obvious sarcasm. You can also check out my work at the following entertainment websites: Insession Film, Music City Drive-In, and Film Focus Online.

Skywalkers: A Love Story (2024) |
We have reached a point in the cinema timeline where documentary films have become akin to scripted reality television... the depth and themes of directors Jeff Zimbalist and Maria Bukhonina’s film are nothing more than a social media reel or post. - InSession Film

Blame the Game (2024) |
The humor is south of average, even mediocre, and while the characters are likable, Mojen and Ushe do have a flirty energy, that’s not enough to recommend a stale comedy that feels too long at a sparse 90 minutes. - InSession Film

Vanished Into the Night (2024) |
Vanished Into the Night is one of the more mediocre thrillers you will ever see. The plot is paper-thin, and the script is as shallow as the Trevi Fountain. Too bad no one made a wish to make a more competent film experience. - InSession Film

Considering this genre has such a low standard and Garcia’s movie cannot even meet that low-hanging fruit, you shouldn’t reward a film for wasting your time so blatantly. After all, that is our most valuable asset. - InSession Film
