Well at least the title kind of makes it seem like she is. I caught this commercial during Scandal last week and it immediately made me remember how good the runaway series Mujeres Asesinas was on Univision not too long ago. In fact, Mujeres Asesinas was an adaptation of the Argentine series by the […]

How Mexican Comedian Eugenio Derbez delivered the Latino box office hit Hollywood couldn’t
There was nothing conventional about the way comedian Eugenio Derbez went about promoting his unexpected box office hit this weekend, Instructions Not Included.
