By Chic DiCiccio Some of the easiest movie jokes involve making young kids curse. Even “Avengers Endgame” did it with a cleverly placed s-bomb. For 90-minutes, that gag is the main thrust of “Good Boys.” However, the movie lives up to its title as nearly all the debauchery is done by three 11-year old boys […]
By Sara Newberry The name First Watch is inspired by the first shift of the day on a ship, and the goal of the Florida-based chain is to help their customers start their day off right with a delicious and reasonably healthy breakfast.

By Chic DiCiccio Look, after eight “Fast and Furious” movies, you know what you’re going to get. There’s going to be unapologetic action, one-liners and a teensy tiny bit of story.
