10 Philippine Showbiz Today August 22 - September 7, 2017 Jan. 22-Feb.7, 2015 Lucky Logan (PG) *** Southern Charm ! Folksy fun and good old-fashioned charm highlight Lucky Logan. Fresh and fun is this invigorating and inspiring flick from Entertainment One, now strutting its stuff at Cineplex Cinemas around B.C, including Scotiabank Theatre in Vancouver. Unexpected going against type performance PA highlight this hip Steven Soderbergh saga. Heartthrob Channing Tatum dumbs down as a down-on-his-luck good old southern boy trying to cope with some family and job re-adjustments not exactly to his liking or of his choosing. To make cash troubles go away, the lad signs up some friends and a con or two for an ambitious and nefarious plan to rob and make (really take) some money, Aided and abetted by blonde and soon-to-be-reborn Bond Daniel Craig, the gang meticulously plans a heist. Like clockwork, things go bad as the pressure builds. First class direction by Soderbergh ensures never a dull moment in this classy caper. Different? For sure. Engaging? Fully. Take a break and take in this cousin to Ocean’s Eleven. Just substitute NASCAR for Vegas and you’ve got it made in the shade. ● (From left to right) Jack Quaid, Brian Gleeson and Daniel Craig in LUCKY LOGAN, an Entertainment One Release Pinoy Celebrity Birthdays for August 1 - César Montano(1962) 1 - Derrick Monasterio (1995) 1 - Ato Agustin (1963) 1 - Margarito Teves (1943) 2 - Dingdong Dantes (1980) 2 - Wynwyn Marquez (1992) 3 - Lani Misalucha (1989) 3 - Susan Fernandez† (1956) 3 - Roger Yap (1977) 4 - Phil Younghusband (1987) 4 - Dominic Ochoa (1974) 5 - Junji Arias (1976) 5 - Rafael Buenaventura† (1938) 5 - Richard Gordon (1945) 6 - Say Alonzo (1983) 6 - Gary Valenciano (1964) 6 - Antonio Trillanes IV (1971) 6 - Inday Badiday† (1944) 7 - Gerry Peñalosa (1972) 7 - Joonee Gamboa (1936) 7 - Jon Jon Briones (1965) 7 - Christine Mendoza (1983) 8 - Eric Altamirano (1966) 10 - Cardinal Rosales (1932) 10 - Mel Tiangco (1955 ) 10 - Mark Bautista (1983) 10 - Mariel Rodríguez (1984) 12 - Iza Calzado (1982) 12 - Aga Muhlach (1969) 13 - Ike Lozada† (1940) 14 - Tim Tebow (1987) 15 - Arnie Tuadles (1956) 15 - Leandro Locsin† (1928) 15 - Ernie Baron† (1940) 15 - Cogie Domingo (1985) 16 - Ynez Veneracion (1980) 16 - Lorenzo Tañada III (1963) 16 - Joe Phoenix (1979) 17 - Robert ‘Buboy’ Villar(1999) 17 - Paolo Serrano (1987) 17 - Carmina Villaroel (1975) 18 - Wendell Ramos (1978) 18 - Nikki Bacolod (1989) 19 - Manuel L.
