Films about war aren’t always subtle. Neither are films about faith. But some movies find a way to tackle these enormous issues without resorting to simplistic messages, and thank goodness “Indivisible” is one of them.
Directed by David G. Evans (“The Grace Card”), “Indivisible” tells the story of real-life U.S. Army Chaplain Darren Turner and his wife Heather. Together, and separately, they endure the mental, physical and spiritual stresses that come from Darren’s tour of duty in 2007, as he offered support for the soldiers around him but struggled with his own self-care.
Not everyone is looking for emotional support, of course. Some soldiers are just trying to keep their heads down, do their job and not think about the horrors they experience every day. But if they aren’t looking for an earnest heart-to-heart about life’s big questions, Darren can at least remind them to call their...

Real-life characters face tests of faith in a war zone and on the home front in “Indivisible,” an intelligent drama based on the experiences of decorated Army Chaplain Darren Turner, who was deployed to Iraq in 2007 not long after seminary and basic training, and his wife Heather, who raised their three young children while helping to provide a support system for other military wives at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Capably directed by David G. Evans (“The Grace Card”) and earnestly performed by a proficient cast, this inspirational indie conceivably could extend its appeal beyond the customary audience for faith-based entertainment, despite obvious indications — the combat soldiers here may be the most profanity-averse fighting men and women in any war movie in recent memory — that gritty realism is not a high priority for the filmmakers.

Young-adult adaptation Divergent got off to a strong start yesterday, and is now on pace for an opening weekend north of $50 million. Meanwhile, Christian drama God's Not Dead is shaping up to be a surprise box office hit. Playing at 3,936 locations, Divergent opened to an estimated $22.8 million on Friday. That includes $4.9 million from late Thursday shows. While that opening day figure is nowhere close to Twilight ($36 million) or The Hunger Games ($67.3 million), it's still one of the best young-adult debuts ever.If Divergent plays like The Hunger Games, it will wind up with around $52 million for the weekend. That seems likely, given the demographic breakdown: the movie attracted more men than expected (41 percent), and was split evenly between those over and under 25 years of age. Combine that with an "A" CinemaScore, and Divergent may not be as frontloaded as its genre and poor reviews suggested.Opening at 3,194 theaters, Muppets Most Wanted disappointed with $4.7 million.

Thursday Update: Divergent earned an estimated $4.9 million from late Thursday shows. In comparison, the first Twilight opened to $7 million at midnight in November 2008. If Divergent follows an identical pattern, it will wind up close to $50 million for the three-day weekend.Forecast: Young-adult adaptation Divergent, which is being positioned as the successor to Twilight and The Hunger Games, should easily take first place at the box office this weekend. Meanwhile, Muppets Most Wanted also opens, though with a bit less fanfare than its predecessor.Opening at 3,936 theaters, Divergent is the latest in a long line of young-adult adaptations aimed at the young female audience that turned out in droves for the Hunger Games and Twilight franchises. Unfortunately, other recent attempts have been less-than-impressive: in the past 14 months alone, Beautiful Creatures, The Host, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and Vampire Academy all bombed.No question about it, Divergent is in a league above those movies.

On what will likely be the quietest weekend of the year, sci-fi sequel Riddick easily took first place with $19.03 million.The Top 12 earned an estimated $66.1 million, which is the lowest figure yet in 2013. Still, that's up 27 percent from last year, which makes this a decent start to the month of September.Opening at 3,107 theaters, Riddick's $19.03 million debut is right in line with modest expectations. Adjusting for ticket price inflation, Riddick had slightly higher initial attendance than Pitch Black, but was way below 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick (which cost around three times as much). Otherwise, star Vin Diesel doesn't have a ton of movies to compare to, though it is worth noting that this opening is well above 2008's Babylon A.D. ($9.5 million).With school and the NFL season getting underway, many people tend to stay away from movie theaters around this time of year. As a result, it has...

With Summer officially in the rearview mirror, the Fall season kicks off this weekend with only one new nationwide release: sci-fi action sequel Riddick opens in 3,107 theaters, and should easily take first place at the box office. Add in some appealing holdovers*including surprise hit Instructions Not Included*and this weekend should be a step above the norm for September.Riddick marks the third time that Vin Diesel has portrayed the titular character, though it's the first time in nearly a decade. The first appearance was in 2000's Pitch Black, which earned a decent $39.5 million before becoming a bit of a cult classic. Four years later*and after Diesel had appeared in hits The Fast and the Furious and XXX*he returned to the Riddick role in The Chronicles of Riddick. Unfortunately, that sequel cost significantly more than its predecessor but only earned $57.8 million*and it wasn't particularly well-liked either.

Forgiveness can set you free. This is the message instilled upon us in the religious drama, The Grace Card. Directed by David Evans and written by Howard Klausner, the film follows the lives of two men, as they become intertwined through the grace of God.
Bill “Mac” McDonald lost his faith a long time ago. After a terrible tragedy took the life of his first son, Mac became so bitter, racist and self-loathing that he shut out his family, and the world. He turned to the police force, becoming a cop in the hopes of preventing future tragedies like the one he experienced. Mac’s remaining son, Blake, is a bit of a delinquent. He’s flunking his senior year of high school, doing drugs and sneaking out at night, not to mention disrespecting his parents. For as long as Blake can remember, his father has laid the blame for...

Weekend Box Office: March 4th through the 6th Director Kevin Smith announced his plans for self-distributing his most recent film, Red State, at Sundance this year, and he delivered big this past Saturday. The film kicked off a U.S. tour of sneak previews this weekend to the tune of an astounding $161,590 on its way to filling up half of New York’s historic Radio City Music Hall. The horror film about teens looking for sex but instead finding religion is set to officially debut in October, but until then, “State” will preview in fourteen more theaters before ending its sneak peak tour in Los Angeles. It was a big weekend for foreign films such as Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives that picked up a promising $8,036 average in three locations. “Boonmee” is a drama from Thailand and took home last year’s Best Foreign Language Film award...

Weekend Box Office: February 18th through the 20th With the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday and the Oscars on Sunday, all eyes were on the tons of acceptance speeches. Denmark’s “In a Better World” took home Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars while “The King’s Speech” won Best Foreign Film at the Spirit Awards and had it's big night yesterday. One short-list nominated film and Cannes winner (final nine) that was noticeably absent from the winner’s circle was Xavier Beauvois’ Of Gods and Men which debuted domestically this past weekend (on the same weekend it picked up the Best Film award at France's Oscar ceremony equivalent). The French film released by Sony Pictures Classics raked in $66,900 in only three locations (good enough for a $22,300 average). The numbers look good for further expansion come next weekend. In a more aggressive effort, Samuel Goldwyn Films released The Grace Card on 352 screens.

A trend has developed recently in which films made outside of the Hollywood studio structure are being marketed by the big studios. And to the surprise of some in Hollywood, these projects are being met with success. There are several factors at work here, but most notably it is due to two things: the overwhelming success of The Passion of the Christ through unorthodox, grass-roots marketing efforts and the fact that the equipment necessary to produce a studio quality film is now readily available to just about anyone. So, recently there have been a couple of movies produced by a church in Georgia that showed enough promise and were high enough quality that Sony saw an opportunity to market them in the faith-based community. It is funny how Hollywood doesn’t like to acknowledge religion in a good way but they want to make money off of it,...

One serendipitous event that occurred during the pre-production of the movie The Grace Card sums up just how things have changed in the movie industry in the last decade. The director of the film, Dr. David Evans, an optometrist from Memphis, Tn, had recently made a significant investment for his fledgling movie studio, Graceworks Pictures, when he purchased a camera and equipment in preparation for the onset of filming. Unfortunately, after he had made his purchase, he spoke with someone in the industry who informed him that if he wanted his film to be “studio quality,” he would not be able to use the camera that he had just purchased. This individual suggested he use a “Red camera.” The problem was that he had already blown a significant portion of his...

“Grace Card” is a faith-based story directed by David G. Evans of Graceworks Pictures, whose stated mission is to “produce excellent films about God’s love in the real world.” The film recounts the story of a man who roils against God and his fellow man for 17 years after his young son’s death, and its message is unmistakable: Forgive so you will be forgiven.
