"It’s a remarkably clichéd critical device, but there truly is no doubt that you won’t see another movie like “I Love Boosters” this year, a film that feels like it sprung fully-formed from Riley’s dreams and past creative visions." -Roger Ebert.com

Join us for I Love Boosters, the latest feature film from Director Boots Riley in our historic cinema: mkefilm.org/iloveboosters

Shrek is only screening up until the 21st so don't miss your last chances to catch your favorite Ogre in action at our historic theatre. If you're already feeling the fomo, fear not, far far away is closer than you think! Shrek 2 screens 5/23 & 5/24 at 12 PM: mkefilm.org/shrek2

Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into a hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of his faithful Donkey, Shrek takes on a potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, the pompous Prince Charming, and the ogre-killer, Puss In Boots.
