Movie Haiku:Lee's FOUR HOUR made-for-HBO-TV meditation on the after-effects of Hurricane Katrina is long & slow & terribly painful to watch. Jan thinks Rich needs to try again, because it's a masterwork of the "attention must be paid" variety. First broadcast on the one-year anniversary, Jan predicts it will get even better with age.
