Many crowded the movies to find out what makes Michael tick. Guess what,
it wasn't all that interesting. If you loved the first
Halloween, this
movie is nowhere near as good as John Carpenter's classic version.
The language and the degrading of many of the girls in this movie would make you think that the director of "Girls gone Wild" wrote it.

Those who entered the theater in anticipation of Balls of Fury would leave an hour and a half later highly disappointed. It is puzzling to see how such a promising movie with a brilliant cast and an original plot could go so horribly wrong.
The accomplished cast includes Dan Fogler, Christopher Walken, George Lopez, Maggie Q, James Hong, and Terry Crews.

From Yelp.com<
b>Palace BBQ Buffet and Korean Cuisine
1092 E. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, 94087
(408)-554-9292
Not everyone will appreciate having mountains of marinated beef and pork served for their cooking pleasure, but for the meat-lovers among us, Palace BBQ Buffet in Sunnyvale offers a culinary experience like no other.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, the customer is presented with a rather bland looking structure situated next to a Korean supermarket. However, there is more than what meets the eye with this place. As customers walk through the door, they step into a “palace” of compact tables and enormous smoke stacks. If the Spartan interior isn’t intimidating enough, the long waiting line will certainly put off a few potential customers. Most patrons of the restaurant, however, are returning customers and are more than willing to endure the wait.

From wikipedia:
Charles Augustus Nichols (September 14, 1869 - April 11, 1953), better known as Kid Nichols, was a Major League Baseball pitcher at the turn of the 20th century. Admired for his steadfast consistency year-in and year-out, Nichols amassed 361 wins over his 15 year career, the 7th highest total in major league history. Nichols is the youngest pitcher to win 300 games, reaching that milestone at age 30.
Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Nichols entered the major leagues in 1890 with the Boston Beaneaters and was an instant success. Nichols went 27-19 with a 2.23 ERA and 222 strikeouts and began a string of ten consecutive seasons with 20 wins or more. Nichols also had a major league record seven 30 win seasons in this time (1891 - 1894, 1896 - 1898) and a career high of 35 in 1892.
