Good intentions can’t fix ‘Broken Road’ PAT PA D U A

“God Bless the Broken Road,” named for a song made famous by Rascal Flatts, is a well-meaning,

God Bless the Broken Road ê½ Cast: Jordin Sparks, Kim Delaney, Lindsay Pulsipher, Madeline Carroll, Robin Givens, Andrew Walker, LaDainian Tomlison, Gary Grubbs Rating: PG for mature thematic elements and some combat action. competently made faith-based drama. But good intentions and a diverse cast aren’t enough to spread the gospel beyond moviegoers already invested in God (and country music and NASCAR). And it’s unfortunate that the tribute to veterans that is so much a part of the movie’s marketing turns out to be little more than a framing device that’s dispensed with for most of the plot. Set in a small town in Kentucky, the movie revolves around Amber (Lindsay Pulsipher of “True Blood”), whose angelic voice used to lead the church choir in devotional country songs

FREESTYLE RELEASING/WP NEWS SERVICE

Andrew W. Walker and Lindsay Pulsipher play a racecar driver and an overworked young widow in “God Bless the Broken Road.” The film opens Friday at Jasper 8 Theatres.

There are powerful themes of doubt and redemption here, and character actor Gary Grubbs (“The X Files”) is convincing as Joe, the avuncular auto repairshop owner who teaches “Speed Racer,” as he calls Cody, to slow down when he takes a curve. Ironically, this faith-based film requires a suspension of disbelief: Joe’s lesson is an apt metaphor for life, sure, but how could Cody have had any success on the track if he didn’t already know when to slow down? The parables of Jesus are instructive because they speak to real struggles, but Cody’s hubris is pure contrivance. Worse, extras in group scenes stare at the camera uncomfortably, as if director Harold Cronk (“God’s Not Dead”) failed to give them any guidance. The filmmakers display technical proficiency — shot rhythms and graceful camerawork suggest an omniscient power gently observing His charges — and there is a natural drama in seeing flawed humans struggle with their belief. But aside from Grubbs’s genuine wisdom, the characters for the most part play inspirational pawns more than three-dimensional people, their relationships held together by the most slender of threads. “God Bless the Broken Road” plants a seed of evangelical drama, but its efforts to proselytize are unlikely to bear fruit.

until she stopped going to church two years ago after her husband was killed in Afghanistan. Her daughter, Bree (Makenzie Moss), however, keeps the faith, planting a mustard seed, which, as the parable says, grows from small begin-

nings, much like the kingdom of Heaven. The young widow struggles to make ends meet, working extra shifts at the local diner and taking high-interest loans from a pawnshop. She’s in danger of losing her

house, much to the chagrin of her mother-in-law (Kim Delaney of “NYPD Blue”). Amber considers moving on with her life when she meets Cody (Andrew W. Walker), a hotshot racecar driver who’s had his own troubles.

All times are Eastern unless otherwise noted.

Current cinema Currently playing Alpha  (Jasper 8 Theatres) When it comes to sheer spectacle, “Alpha” is a stunning production, especially in 3D Imax. Director Albert Hughes and cinematographer Martin Gschlacht re-create the untouched vistas of pre-civilization Europe shooting on location in Canada, while enhancing with visual effects. The camera soars and swoops across the prairies, fields and glaciers, creating the sense of flying for the audience. When the landscape becomes impacted with snow, it is epic, but less visually stimulating. Kodi Smit-McPhee stars as Keda, the son of a tribal chief Tau (Johannes Haukur Johannesson), embarking on his first big hunt. Tau is filled with pride to have his son learning how they provide for their tribe, teaching him lessons along the way about self-sacrifice and leadership. “Alpha” is an epic adventure tale that tells the story of how humans and dogs came to have the relationship they do, one of devoted companionship and mutual support. It’s hard to survive out there without a loving, warm-blooded creature by your side, whether it’s the Ice Age or the 21st century. Thematically, “Alpha” nails the idea that our survival is dependent on the love and support of others, and the idea emerges from the haze of faux fur and war paint in which “Alpha” is coated. (Adventure/ drama/family, PG-13, 1 hr. 36 min.) Christopher Robin  (Jasper 8 Theatres) In this live-action/CGI combo fairy tale, Winnie the Pooh has lost his friends and the grown-up Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) has lost sight of what’s important and might just lose his family, unless somehow, some way, they can help each other! It’s simple. Sweet. Effective. (Fantasy, PG, 1 hr. 44 min.) Crazy Rich Asians ½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) When the scion of a rich Singapore family (Henry Golding) brings his American love (Constance Wu) to his homeland, his mother (Michelle Yeoh) is not

The Happytime Murders zero s (Jasper 8 Theatres) This off-putting, cheap-looking, virtually laugh-free disaster begins with a series of gross-out sex and murder gags involving puppets and devolves into a stupid detective story pairing Melissa McCarthy with a felt partner. We hope the filmmakers will cut this thing short, and they do, and we thank them for that. (Comedy, R, 1 hr. 31 min.) The Meg ½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) Have sharks jumped the Fonzie? Seems like it’s always Shark Week around here, and “here” means everywhere. Think of how long it has been since the first “Jaws” (1975). A digital effects revolution and a generation later, there was “Deep Blue Sea” (1999). In the cheeseball screwball realm, the sixth “Sharknado” picture comes out later this year. And higher up the food chain, now we have “The Meg,” director Jon Turteltaub’s forgettably entertaining/entertainingly forgettable adaptation of the 1997 novel by Steve Alten. Alten’s book led to six published sequels, for the record, and Alten called his moneymaker simply “Meg,” without the “The.” The movie version steers clear of camp or self-parody, and it’s acted by a strong, pokerfaced international ensemble with a seriousness of purpose that’s spelled J-A-S-O-N-S-T-A-T-H-A-M. In other words it leaves the sharknados to “Sharknado,” even though it imagines an equally improbable scenario: the existence and appetite of a prehistoric 75-foot megalodon shark. (Thriller/fantasy, PG-13, 1 hr. 55 min.)

Exhibit features works by Miracle From Local Sources OAKLAND CITY — Kit Miracle, recently retired director of Jasper Community Arts, has a solo art exhibit at the J. Michael Dunn Gallery at Oakland City University. The show runs through Friday, Sept. 28. A public reception and gallery talk is planned from 2-5 p.m. CT Sunday. Miracle’s artwork is based primarily in oil and acrylic with some watercolor. The subject matter consists of landscapes based on southern Indiana and some travels, still lifes and figurative. She works in a contemporary impressionist style. The artist was born in England but raised in the Midwest. A graduate of Earlham College, she attended graduate studies at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan; Indiana University Southeast in New Albany; Paint Creek Center for the Arts in Rochester; and various workshops

along the way. Miracle taught school in Appalachia and worked for a Fortune Top 10 company. She retired as arts director for the City of Jasper after 17 years. “After 10 years fighting the snow and cold in Michigan, my husband and I left for the more temperate climate of the Ohio River Valley. We live in a 135-yearold homestead, raised two remarkable sons here, and my studio is the old summer kitchen. My commute is just 30 feet from the back door. “I think Southern Indiana is one of the most beautiful parts of the Midwest with its gently rolling hills, fields, streams and four-season climate. I never run out of things to paint. But I also enjoy painting my travels which makes me return home to see things with new eyes. “I never stopped painting even when I was working full time. Now I’m able to paint several hours a day which is exciting and satisfying. Artists never really retire. I
