Do watch Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ' this weekend if you are a Christian or just love great powerful cinema.
Mel Gibson is supposedly going to start shooting another movie - the Resurrection

ps
today is also the anniversary of the Polish Crown, i.e., the coronation of Boleslaw I (Boleslaus) the Great/Brave in Gniezno, then the capital of Polish kingdom, in the year 1025AD.
