The Actors: Cameron Diaz raises her spy game Posted: 02 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT She stars with Tom Cruise in ‘Knight and Day.’ We're talking to Cameron Diaz on her cellphone, and she's dishing about her action-oriented exploits with Tom Cruise in her upcoming movie "Knight and Day," when she asks us to hold for a moment. Muffled in the background, we hear men shouting, "Cameron! Cameron! A-Rod? Cameron!" and then she's back on the line, explaining what happened.

The Stunts: Angelina Jolie in 'Salt' Posted: 02 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT Angelina Jolie and stunt coordinator Simon Crane share a shorthand developed over six movies in which the petite, 34-year-old actress has spent almost as much time harnessed to cables as she has sitting in the makeup chair.

The Actors: ‘Twilight’s’ Wolf Pack Posted: 02 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT Alex Meraz, Julia Jones and Chaske Spencer are a band of werewolves in ‘Eclipse.’ The 1950s gave us the Rat Pack. The ‘80s, the Brat Pack. These days, the Wolf Pack is roaming the film scene.

Chris Meledandri opens with 'Despicable Me' Posted: 30 Apr 2010 01:51 PM PDT His first release for Universal is the Steve Carell-voiced animated feature. In "Despicable Me," Steve Carell lends his voice to Gru, a bandit on a quest for the ultimate theft: the moon. As a producer of the animated Universal Pictures comedy, Chris Meledandri has an only slightly less ambitious goal -- stealing some of the thunder from Pixar, DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox.

Summer Sneaks: ‘Dinner for Schmucks’ Posted: 02 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, together again Steve Carell and Paul Rudd want to make one thing clear: They're not the second-coming of Laurel and Hardy.

The new 'A-Team' hopes to avoid B-remake status Posted: 02 May 2010 12:00 AM PDT Joe Carnahan’s remake of the ‘80s TV action series retains elements of the show but tones down the craziness. Fox's $100-million adaptation of "The A-Team" (June 11) takes glee in rehashing certain touchstones of the cheese-tacular '80s TV action- comedy series.
