Four-Legged Survivors of Hurricane Katrina
~Manohla Dargis
~One from the heart, the documentary “Mine” relates yet one more wrenching, infuriating story about Hurricane Katrina and the devastation wreaked both by the storm and by human error and indifference. While many victims in the movie will look familiar — whether waving from their New Orleans rooftops after the levees broke in 2005 or talking about their ruined lives and homes afterward — the majority of the victims here have usually been seen only in the background, forlornly howling and wagging their tails.

A treehouse project in the Treme has become an unlikely place for art- fueled parties.
 "The Installation," as it's called, was put together by residents of the NOLA Art House, a 19th-century mansion that's been converted into an artist commune where everyone from painters to writers to graffiti artists and DJs live, play and ply their trades.
