Mothers Who Kill filmography

A mother kills her child. It's a crime as old as Greek mythology, yet it's just as shocking today when stories of Andrea Yates, Marilyn Lemak and Susan Smith show up in the news.

Though filicide is not uncommon, society grapples with the question of how such a seemingly unnatural crime could happen. How could these women cross the intuitive thresholds that stop others from killing their own babies, their own flesh and blood. Are these women always insane, or are there cases where clear-cut, cold-blooded choices are made?

In this hour of Investigative Reports, anchor Bill Kurtis puts those questions to psychiatrists, prosecutors, investigators and the guilty mothers themselves and finds some surprising insights and answers.

Hugh Jackman and THAT shower scene...

The Brat Pack: In with the wrong crowd
There's one in every school: the 'in crowd' everyone else wants to be a part of. But does membership of such a clique mean success later in life? Elli Lewis looks to the Brat Pack for answers to this age-old question.
'The Reader' Film Review
Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes and rising star David Kross star in this breath-taking, devastating meditation on guilt, justice and morality.
'Che' Part One Film Review
The legend comes to life in the first part of "Che", but the movie fails to go beyond this.
'Australia' Film Review
Baz's new sprawling epic might be copping a lot of flak, but there are plenty of redeeming features in his romanticised homage to the Great Southern Land.
'Twilight' Film Review
Hampered by some early teething problems, the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's hit teen vampire romance novel lacks bite, but will certainly find an audience amongst fans of the series.
Drew Barrymore: Growing Pains
Think there are moments from your past best left forgotten with all photographic evidence destroyed? Elli Lewis wonders how much worse it could have been if you'd been a child star...
'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' Interviews
Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett-Smith get together for an entertaining banter about their new film, family and on-set fun.
'The Secret Life of Bees' Interviews
'The Secret Life of Bees' boasts a stellar cast of women leads - with a side serving of Paul Bettany. Writer/director Gina Prince-Blythewood and arguably the most powerful US female producer, Lauren Shuler Donner, talk about their new movie, the difficulties facing films led by women - on and off the screen - and Hugh Jackman in 'Wolverine'.
'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' Film Review
An all-star comedy vocal cast including Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Sacha Baron Cohen embark on another chaos-stricken adventure as their animal counterparts make an unexpected detour via Africa on the way back to the Central Park Zoo.
Michael Douglas: Mind the Gap
It's an undeniable fact that Harrison Ford has been an object of affection for teen girls the world over - but if you don't mind the gap, how to nab the older man? Elli Lewis takes Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones as a case study where age is no barrier to love.

It's a bumper year in the cinema and we have the trailers for all the hottest flicks on screens now and coming up in 2009, from 'Watchmen' and 'Star Trek' to 'The Spirit' and 'Australia'.
Celebrity Fight Club
From Dumbledore vs Gandalf to Bruce Lee flattening Jackie Chan teamed with Jet Li, BIO draws up a list of the ultimate on-screen clashes that we all secretly wish had happened.
'Changeling': Fact behind the Fiction
‘Changeling’, Clint Eastwood’s latest effort starring Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, is based on the sad tale of Christine Collins, a woman whose son was murdered and replaced by another child in a horrific case of LAPD corruption. In this special feature, we will investigate how closely Eastwood stayed to the true story.
Leonardo DiCaprio: Beauty and the Bored
Upon seeing Sienna Miller or Liz Hurley pouting seductively on endless magazine covers, airbrushed within an inch of still being classified as human, one can’t help but wonder whether Darwin could see this one coming. It seems that the evolution of mankind has led to world where beauty can get you on a first class trip to the top whereas brains are the ticket to a desk job.
'Choke' Film Review
Adapted from another story by Chuck Palahniuk, writer of the sublime 'Fight Club', 'Choke' sadly fails to measure up, stripping away the darker themes which characterise Palahniuk's work.
'Changeling' Film Review
The latest offering from the Eastwood/Jolie dream team could have benefited from more focus, but it is a heart-rending and emotional tale with stunning performances from the whole cast.

The man with the raised eyebrow, beloved star of the James Bond films, TV series 'The Saint' and countless other escapades of the big and small screen, discusses his childhood, career, UNICEF and the mixed blessings of grandchildren.
Jude’s Law: Love The One You’re With
In the immortal words of Sir Mick Jagger, ‘you can’t always get what you want’. So why is that we insist on peaking over our neighbours fences only to decide that their grass is a much better shade of green than ours? Perhaps a look at Jude Law’s infamous relationship with Sienna Miller can provide us with the answer.
'W.' Film Review
‘W.’ is a safe, feel-good look at the most powerful man in the world, but does however provide a compelling look at the private side of Bush, especially his relationships with his wife, mother, brother and especially his father.
‘Pushing the boundaries’ or ‘malicious and offensive’?
Brand, Ross and the answer phone message: a 'gross lapse of taste' or a taste of British comedy warped by the media?
Bad Boy Bond
We're all loving Daniel Craig's dark anti-hero of James Bond - but for how long? Can this 007 evolve into the quintessential charmer his predecessors so lovingly created?
Troopergate: A Question of Ethics
The ‘troopergate’ incident poses a massive threat to Sarah Palin's reputation and her presidential campaign. Elli Lewis asks whether it is representative of her past - and future - actions.

'Burn After Reading' Film Review
If there's a left of left-field, that's where you'll find this latest madcap comedy romp from the Coen Brothers. It doesn't quite manage to bring George Clooney and Brad Pitt face to face but Pitt and JK Simmons are the scene stealers from an outstanding cast.
Peaches and Cream
Think you have a bad case of sibling rivalry on your hands? Try competiting for the attention of mummy, daddy and the adoring public and press like the Geldolf sisters...

Breaking Up: The Jennifer Aniston Way
We've all suffered through a rubbish break-up (or three) but imagine doing it in the sharp eye of the public! Elli Lewis looks at lessons for us mortal folk as learned from our favourite celebs.
The Father of Fear – John Carpenter
Undoubtedly one of the most iconic film directors, John Carpenter belongs to a very particular class of filmmakers. His legendary status comes from having written, directed, edited and scored the music for horror and sci-fi classics such as 'Escape from New York', 'The Thing', 'They Live' and, of course, 'Halloween'.

It's very Mel Brooks, which means 'Get Smart' hits the mark with a fine blend of updated concept and loving tribute to the original TV series.
'The Dark Knight' Film Review
The Dark Knight is a hell of a ride, not for the faint hearted.
