Crónicas is a 2004 Ecuadorian thriller/drama. The film tells the story of Manolo Bonilla - an unscrupulous journalist from Miami who is in Ecuador to report on the impact of a serial killer known as The Monster of Babahoyo. Lots happens.

Back in 2021, John Leguizamo was interviewed on the Stephen Colbert late show titled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert".

John agreed. In this YouTube video titled "Late Night Sketchbook with John Leguizamo", Jonny Legz draws a bunch of pictures of various superheroes and asks the audience to guess who they a...

It stars Steve Coogan as a dude that owns a company that does alibis for people who like to cheat on their partners. Mostly men if we are being honest, but the film is quick to remind the audience that women also cheat and lie to their spouses too.
