Man, Moment, Machine: Apollo 13 - Triumph on the Dark Side of the Moon movie Cannibalism, or the devouring of human flesh, represents one of the few moral infractions common to most cultures in the world - a strong enough infraction that most homo sapiens consider it not simply repugnant but unthinkable. But in certain situations, both under duress and out of desperation, individuals have found themselves driven to this ghastly act. The History Chennel documentary CANNIBALISM: EXTREME SURVIVAL investigates several of these instances - a case in which four British sailors became stranded at sea after their yacht capsized, a nightmarish instance of cannibalism that erupted on the Sarah Island penal colony in 1820s Tasmania, and finally, the grisly fate that befell some Japanese military men in New Guinea during World War II. In recounting these stories, the program draws on rare archival footage and incisive historical commentary. Relive three harrowing true tales of people who resorted to the ultimate taboo.

Man, Moment, Machine: Apollo 13 - Triumph on the Dark Side of the Moon DVD for sale New York City forms the backdrop for writer/director Ben Younger's (BOILER ROOM) PRIME, a gentle comedy that weaves a tale of two lovers trying to keep the flame alive as an unusual obstacle is hurled in their path. Rafi Gardet (Uma Thurman) is a newly divorced 37-year-old career woman who regularly spills her woes to her therapist, Lisa Metzger (Meryl Streep). Rafi's love life takes a sudden upturn when she meets Bryan Greenberg (David Bloomberg), a penniless painter who lives on the Lower East Side with his grandparents and, at 23, is significantly younger than Rafi. Uptown girl Rafi isn't used to such differences in age and location, but the sex is great, and Bryan seems attentive enough, so she jubilantly tells Lisa in passionate detail about their blossoming relationship. The trouble is, the more Rafi tells her, the more Lisa realizes that the hot young boy-toy Rafi is busy seducing on a nightly basis is, in fact, her own son. The problems mount, with Rafi's status as a gentile not going over well with Bryan's Jewish family, and Lisa unable to decide whether to stop the therapy sessions or not. Younger delivers a heady mixture of laughs and salient points in a film that settles snugly into familiar early-21st-century territory for romantic-comedy fans. He peppers the action with product placement, warm pastel colors in spacious FRIENDS-style New York apartments, and bitter recriminations that quickly turn to passionate makeup sex on more than one occasion. The director clearly enjoys a love affair with the city, with swooping shots throughout of the late-night Manhattan skyline providing the perfect setting as his two leads act out their bittersweet union. Uma Thurman, Meryl Streep and Bryan Greenberg star in "The year's best romantic comedy!"..Jess Cagle, WCBSTV People.
