“Hurricane on the Bayou” started out as an IMAX documentary intended to analyze the inherent dangers involved in the disappearance of the wetlands in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana. Little did the filmmakers know that, three months after they started filming, the very catastrophe they cited as a worst-case scenario would actually occur. As a result, never-before-seen footage of Hurricane Katrina was documented in dramatic, large-film format.
The final version is a moving, visually stunning, educational, thought-provoking, involved, musically sweeping film that touches on one of the many aspects of the hurricane that have gone underreported, or in many cases, even unreported. Environmental destruction can now join the long list of documented failures that led to the hurricane and have stymied recovery efforts as well.
If you’re interested at all in the science and ecosystems beyond the story of Hurricane Katrina, and wouldn’t mind a little culture and art at the same time, check out this memorable film.

Well, i saw Employee of the Month starring Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson, so thanks for making me feel like a retard.
"Employee of the Month" is great. I don't get why Dane Cook has become such a punchline and why people say that they can't figger out how a not-funny person has somehow become famous.
Signed,
