Independence Day - Yes, this day is coming -- but not for any one nation, for all of us!
Da Vinci Code - Metaphors are kind of like codes. Check out the Word DNA too!

Notes

Transformers - We seem to want to become machines. TWO sequels have been approved by Dreamworks.
Thus, Transformers will be a trilogy. #2 scheduled for 2009. #3 - 2011?
Forrest Gump - We yearn for something simpler and a life of unwitting excitement.
The Passion of the Christ
- We´re about to find out the true passion.
You do know about Mel Gibson's recent involuntary CONfessions, don't you? Thanks to his binge of LIquor and LIbations.

Poem of 3rd Subtitles

I lived in an age of darkness and light. I waited for the Return of the Jedi everytime things got bad.
They made things better for awhile,  but the bad guys always came back.
The Revenge of the Sith took its toll. An eye for an eye. They always came back With a Vengeance.  
It got worse with the Rise of the Machines. All the computers and technology
just made things go faster. More technology, more destruction. But, most only saw the positive side. CONsumers.
It was just one set of Revolutions after another.  Like hamsters on a wheel.
All the time I heard it was just one more
Last Crusade until peace and happiness. Lies, lies, and more damn lies!
People were too busy waxing their Goldmember, trying to get  Beyond Thunderdome. Heaven, some liked to call it.
They always saw Red too. The power of jealousy. People just didn´t understood the true name of evil.
It seemed like we were headed for Extinction. Then I heard about the Return of the King. He was handed God's Ultimatum.
I was
At World´s End, wondering what to do next.
