Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers of every kind from Cunneen's Bar!!!

A great way to celebrate tonight might be by coming to The Music Box Theater at 7pm to see the Chicago premiere of HEKLA!! It's been getting FANTASTIC reviews - here's one from Richard Roeper:

Check out Michael's instagram for links to all of the interviews he and Elizabeth have been doing and to find the great reviews!

Our favorite quote so far comes from Ray Ebarb:

"HEKLA is Smith’s most kinetic and chaotic film as his most Chicago movie to date—it’s CLEO 5 FROM TO 7 (1962) if Cleo had a Malört shot at the end."

In case you're not familiar with that pinnacle Agnes Varda work from the French New Wave film movement of the Early 1960s which revolutionized cinema and changed the film industry forever for the better- comparing HEKLA to CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 is a beyond AMAZING compliment for both Michael Smith and Elizabeth Stam!!! Well done, Guys!!

We at Cunneen's are SO very excited to see the film tonight AND to end it with some shots of Malort!!

COME JOIN US FOR THE "After-AFTER PARTY' WE WILL BE OPEN TO CELEBRATE TONIGHT UNTIL 2 AM FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO JOIN! CHEERS & HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

New releases this week may feature a few good choices to watch with mom. Richard Roeper joins us to let us know what’s new to watch this weekend.
