Exhibit features sculptures by English artist From Local Sources JASPER — The Krempp Gallery at the Jasper Arts Center will present work by English sculptor David Cox through May 25. A First Thursday reception and gallery talk will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. tonight. Cox is a freelance sculptor who spent his early years in jewelry design. After many years and a brief encounter with formal art education, his attention turned to sculpture. In an effort to educate himself, Cox applied for and won a four-year sculptural apprenticeship. Upon completion of that apprenticeship, he spent the next four years traveling the United States in search of more technical knowledge. He worked in various casting foundries, learning all he could about the lost art of wax casting. Cox moved to Cincinnati,

where he spent the next two years working on several major bronze art commissions, as well as building his first foundry. He casts his own work as well as the work of many others. His work has been displayed in galleries, art museums and private collections. In 1984 Cox founded D.L.C. Designs Sculptural Services, a fine arts studio and foundry involved in all processes of bronze casting. These services range from design to installations, restoration, renovation, molding, casting of bronze statuary, and ornamental architecture. The Krempp Gallery, located in the Jasper Arts Center adjacent to the Vincennes University Jasper Campus, is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, until 7 p.m. Thursdays and from noon to 3 p.m. Sundays. School groups, clubs and students are welcome. Admission is free.

All times are Eastern unless otherwise noted.

Current cinema New Releases Love, Simon ½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) From the comfortable suburban setting to the likable protagonist, from the intelligent teenagers to the warm and wellmeaning but sometimes out-of-touch adults, “Love, Simon” is clearly a cinematic descendant of John Hughes High. Nick Robinson gives a winning performance as the smart and charismatic and conflicted 17-year-old lead character in this wonderful, uplifting, endearing, thoroughly entertaining story. (Drama, PG-13, 1 hr. 50 min.)

Currently playing A Quiet Place  (Jasper 8 Theatres) John Krasinski is the director, co-writer and co-star (with his wife, Emily Blunt) of this neatly spun and well-crafted thriller about a family that must maintain complete silence to avoid stirring deadly monsters. That’s a pretty nifty setup to keep the tension going from moment to moment. (Horror, PG-13, 1 hr. 30 min.) Avengers: Infinity War ½ This massively enjoyable and just plain massive candy-colored thrill ride adventure brings the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy together to help hold off a villain with a richly dramatic background and actual dialogue. It’s the biggest and most ambitious Marvel movie yet, but it’s not the best. (Sci-fi action, PG-13, 2 hrs. 36 min.) I Feel Pretty  (Jasper 8 Theatres) A blow to the head deludes a cosmetics company staffer (Amy Schumer) into thinking she’s supermodel beautiful, enhancing her confidence. Schumer is clearly in her comfort zone and she eventually wins us over in this uneven, hitand-miss, broad comedy, but here’s hoping the next time around, she tries something new. (Comedy, PG13, 1 hr. 47 min.) Rampage ½ “Rampage” is a drag. Three times during the thing, I wrote down the phrase “no fun,” with increasingly impatient underlines. This could be me, not the movie. Maybe I’m the one who’s no fun. But

in general I like Dwayne Johnson, that smiling granite star, coupled with a tremendous amount of vehicular- or tsunami-based destruction. For all its cheese, “San Andreas” (2015), Johnson’s previous collaboration with director Brad Peyton, was pretty diverting, thanks in part to Carla Gugino and Alexandra Daddario sprinting through the disaster picture, creating the effect of “Earthquake? What earthquake? There was an earthquake?” But “Rampage” is all pain and no gain. Its massive, “genetically edited” creatures include a 30-foot flying wolf and a very long crocodile with porcupine accessories, both purely malevolent, and in excruciating pain for large chunks of the movie. Primarily the film offers the incredible expanding silverback gorilla, George, friend and colleague of the San Diego primatologist played by Johnson. He also suffers throughout. This is a movie about suffering. (PG-13, 1 hr. 47 min.) Super Troopers 2  (Jasper 8 Theatres) In this sequel, 17 years after the original, the hapless lawmen patrol a piece of Quebec newly transferred to America. While there’s something kind of endearing about the disjointed chaos behind the comedy, there are simply too many dead spots and cheap jokes and flat gags to carry a full-length feature. (Comedy, R, 1 hr. 40 min.)

On DVD Fifty Shades Freed  In the third and (thank the cinema gods) final chapter in the vapid, lurid, S&Msprinkled trilogy of slick trash, newlyweds Ana (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan) eventually leave the sexy stuff behind and fall into a combo platter of cheesy, easily solved mystery-thriller and overwrought daytime soap opera melodrama. (Drama thriller, R, 1hr. 45 min., 2018)
