The documentary Hellbound? forms a distinct new chapter in the many-volume religious debate. Rather than focus on the eternal, unanswerable question of whether or not there is a God, Hellbound? zones in on the differing opinions within Christianity over the existence of hell. Filmmaker Kevin Miller interviews numerous authors, evangelists and religious scholars, most of whom agree that there is a God, but who disagree on whether or not hell is in fact a realm of eternal torment for those who disobey Him.
According to many of the fire-and-brimstone preachers who make their living on scaring sinners into repenting by spreading images of hellfire and horror, to reject a belief in hell is to reject Christianity itself.

Kevin Miller's feature documentary Hellboud? begins with Bell's book and the question of the existence of hell, and expands on it. Obviously no one has any definitive answers after all, no one has ever literally been to hell and back to tell us whether such a place exists what it looks like and who's there but that doesn't mean that there aren't religious leaders and theologians arguing for both sides. The resulting documentary is an interesting look at an argument that essentially boils down to interpretation: do you believe the bible explicitly or do you teach and practice the teachings? It sounds like a vague distinction but it's one that hasn't just sparked this debate but entire wars. [Continued ...]...

Title: Hellbound? Director: Kevin Miller A rich, thoughtful conversation-starter about changing notions of religious damnation, “Hellbound?” invades notoriously touchy territory with an open mind, steady focus and civil disposition. Director Kevin Miller interviews an eclectic group of authors, theologians, pastors, social commentators and even musicians in exploring how and why so many modern-day Christians are so bound to a particular and specific vision of hell, and the manner in which that predominance in turn affects that world in which we are living. The idea of hell, for those who believe in its existence, breaks down broadly along three lines: those who accept it in literal terms, as a place of eternal torment for the souls of the [ Read More ]

This is from Kevin Miller, one of the cowriters of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, the hilariously disingenuous “documentary” about “intelligent design.” So does that mean we can expect a “fair,” “reasonable” discussion about how if a fantasy is held by a certain number of people that makes it true, and how it’s just the vast left-wing fact-based conspiracy that denies it? I look forward to the sequel debating the existence or nonexistence of Valhalla, and just how many enemies one must slaughter in battle in order to be granted admission and hence party with Odin for all eternity.

The concept of hell: It's a topic that raises eyebrows and creates chatter, and it will now undoubtedly rise again to the surface thanks to the upcoming documentary, "Hellbound?." The film has a simple yet complex premise: To explore and challenge the notions of hell and the afterlife. Set last year in over two-dozen cities spanning the United States, Canada and Denmark, the film hopes to get to the bottom of this debate. The film features interviews with high profile authors, theologians, pastors, social commentators, musicians and exorcists. With "Hellbound?," award-winning screenwriter Kevin Miller is making his directorial debut, and Indiewire has the exclusive first look at the poster for the sure to be controversial film. One of Area 23a's principals Kirt Eftekhar calls "Hellbound?" an "incredibly ambitious film" that will "provide moviegoers and communities with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get...

Kirk Cameron (not Kurt Cameron) made headlines in early March after appearing on CNN’s Piers Morgan Show, where Cameron voiced his views on homosexuality: "I think that it’s — it’s — it’s unnatural. I think that it’s — it’s detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization." According to Cameron, he had gone on Piers Morgan to promote his documentary Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure, directed by Duane Barnhart and written by Kevin Miller. Although Piers Morgan ignored Monumental, as a result of the "gay controversy," publications that would have paid no attention to a low-budget documentary with a far-right Christian slant made note of it. A few weeks later, on Tuesday, March 27, Monumental had a special one-show preview at a reported 550 locations, described in the film’s press release as a "one-night theatrical event that will inspire audiences to...

"It seemed that perhaps the Lord was in this," Kirk Cameron (not Kurt Cameron) told Baptist Press. The Lord was in on what? From the beginning: A couple of weeks ago, Cameron landed in ungodly hot waters after making several anti-gay remarks on Piers Morgan's CNN talk show. While chatting with Morgan, he referred to homosexuality as "unnatural" and affirmed that it is "ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization." Following his comments, Cameron was taken to task by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and several of his fellow show-businessmen and women, including former Growing Pains co-stars Alan Thicke ("I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything.") and Tracy Gold ("I am a strong supporter of the #Lgbt Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #Love.") Though not thrilled that he is now widely perceived as a bigot,...

Kirk Cameron's anti-gay rhetoric may have angered the fair-minded everywhere (read responses from Roseanne Barr, Alan Thicke, and others), but many (most? the vast majority?) of his fellow Fundamentalist Christians are definitely on his side. And Cameron has a — quite timely — gift for them in the form of the documentary Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure. (See trailer below.) Co-produced by Cameron, Monumental features the former Growing Pains actor in Washington, D.C., where he realizes that "something is sick in the soul of our country. And history tells me that we’re headed for disaster if we don’t change our course now." Apparently, the pilgrims — the extremist Christians of the 17th century — will lead the way to the righteous path. On his website, Cameron explains: I've already completed the first part of my trip, and I’m happy to say, my hunch was right! What I've discovered already is amazing!

Casting all comic book frolicking to the side, "Smallville" once again takes a bash at dealing with the characters of the series and the emotional, psychological and physical toll that the outlandish aspects of the series have taken on them. Embodying a different kind of darkness, "Requiem" is not made up of alien invasions or even a battle between billionaires -- it is a story about right and wrong more than it is good and evil; at what point does it become right to kill another human being? Starting off as a story of business politics, the episode very quickly becomes the last romantic tale between Clark (Tom Welling) and Lana (Kristen Kreuk) and re-asserts Lex Luthor (this time played by Kevin Miller) as the mastermind behind everyone's troubles. So, with the follicle-challenged billionaire ...
