Movies

What would you do if you found out your teenage children were having sex? That's the premise of "Blockers," a comedy starring Leslie Mann and John Cena. The trailer looks hilarious.

Watch the trailer here:

Husband and wife team John Krasinski and Emily Blunt share the screen for the first time in "A Quiet Place." This thriller has been described as Hitchockian, which is a pretty impressive compliment.

Watch the trailer here:

Last but not least, "Chappaquiddick" centers on the events of the infamous fatal crash involving Ted Kennedy, whose political career has remained scarred by the incident. Jason Clarke stars as the senator from Massachusetts and Kate Mara stars as Mary Jo Kopechne, who was killed in the 1969 crash.

Sports

Former Miami Dolphins and Hurricanes offensive lineman Vernon Carey will once again host his Vernon Carey Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament, now in its ninth year, this Friday. 

Vernon Carey (far right) hosts his eighth annual Vernon Carey Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament this Friday at the Weston Hills Country Club.

More than 30 current and former NFL players will hit the links with Carey at the Weston Hills Country Club.

The tournament begins with breakfast and registration at 7:30 a.m. There will be an awards ceremony and luncheon following golf later in the afternoon.

Miami will also return to Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field for a three-game series against ACC Coastal Division foe North Carolina.

The Hurricanes (12-16) are struggling to avoid missing the NCAA tournament in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1970, but they've had some success against the Tar Heels at home. They haven't lost to the Heels in Coral Gables since 2008 and swept the series the last time they played there in 2016.

Miami head coach Jim Morris works with his players during practice at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, Feb. 13, 2018.

This group of guys doesn't want to be the ones to send Jim Morris out a loser. Expect a hard-fought series.
