'Knight & Day' trailer: Could one movie redeem Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz?

Any trailer that got me past the lamely punny title Knight & Day is worth watching. Any trailer that got me excited about Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise again, even moreso:
I still don't know exactly what it's about, and that's what's so cool. What's even cooler? These two superstars reminding us why they're superstars. Cameron Diaz is playing her trademark likable everygirl in an action-packed premise (half Charlie's Angels, half My Best Friend's Wedding). And Tom Cruise somehow seems to be combining his greatest hits -- the flirtatious charm of Top Gun, the gun-toting swagger of Mission: Impossible, the self-deprecating (but still sexy!

The soccer ace – who is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham – isn’t a fan of “crowd participation” and gets nervous when he goes to dinner with Eva Longoria Parker because she likes to get everyone involved.
During an interview Us TV star George Lopez, he said: “Eva’s got this whole thing - and her husband Tony - about playing games… I get so uncomfortable with crowd participation. We were at dinner once with Tom and Katie… We sat there and everyone was like, ‘Let’s play a music game – let’s start a singing game.’
“That’s my worst nightmare. I kind of get uncomfortable with it.”
David also gave George an impromptu haircut after the host asked the fashion conscious sportsman – famous for his many different cuts - for some style tips.
David, 34, said: “If you want me to give you some kind of haircut -

Would You Buy Movie Clips from Paramount?

I used to have this pet theory that you should be able to buy just clips of movies, you know, just so you could get to the good parts without having to sit through the whole film. Now even I thought this was a crackpot idea, but I guess the same thought hasn't occurred to Paramount, because the studio has just launched ParamountClips.com, a service that would allow you to make and buy clips from your favorite Paramount films. The site was launched on Tuesday, and is powered by a "proprietary video interpretation systems, [that] allows films to be quickly searched by specific actor, line of dialog, location, genre or product, among other criteria." Once you've found the flick of your choice, you select your clip, choose your format (mobile, Internet, or broadcast), then you get your bill and you're on your way.
So what makes this any different from

G-force Blu-ray Review

Whatever can be said of Jerry Bruckheimer, and at this point the white hot hate for his style of Bruckheimer/Simpson movies has to have subsided some (he’s no longer making Top Gun-Style borderline propaganda now that Michael Bay’s moved on), there is no doubt of one thing: dude has an eye for talent. Look at G-Force, and the cast: Tracy Morgan, Zach Galifianakis, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Nicholas Cage, Will Arnett, Penelope Cruz, and Bill Nighy. That’s a cast you’d want in most anything. My review of G-Force after the jump.
Morgan, Rockwell, and Cruz play the lead guinea pigs, who through some training by Galifianakis are an elite squadron of spies. They infiltrate (with the help of their mole, voiced by Cage) Leonard Saber’s (Nighy) home and are on the lookout for some fiendish terrorist plot, but can’t find it, which

Part 2: From Andrew Sachs to Harry Potter
Andrew Sachs Sent the Beeb into cautious compliance meltdown
If Manuel had bothered to pick up his phone, Ross and Brand wouldn't have been tempted to leave their naughty messages, the Daily Mail wouldn't have been able to work itself up into a hypocritical moralistic lather, thousands of people who'd never heard the original show wouldn't have rung in to complain, Russell Brand would still have his Radio 2 show instead of Alan bleedin' Carr, and the BBC wouldn't get all jumpy every time Frankie Boyle made jokes about the Queen's fanny.

Steve Jobs Killed the album with his zero-attention-span 'apps'
It was supposed to be so easy. Get your CDs, rip them in to iTunes, put them on your iPod. Then, whenever a latent desire to listen to Reo Speedwagon arose you could sate it right away.

Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz sit together at dinner for cast of Nine

Tom Cruise's exes Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz sat side-by-side at a dinner for the cast of their new movie Nine. All of the stars of the movie got together for dinner, including Daniel Day Lewis, Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson and Dame Judi Dench. But by far the biggest surprise was to see Kidman and Cruz next to each other, given their joint history with Top Gun star Cruise. And Loren admitted that Daniel Day-Lewis was as intense as his reputation suggests. 'You are a little bit intimidating,' she told him. 'He is very, very much intense. He is so intense.' 'He is always trouble,' quipped Dench, who has known the actor for 30

War Birds To Feel the Need For Speed With Epic Aerial Battles!
8 December 2009 11:56 AM, PST
| FusedFilm
| See recent FusedFilm news
»
Say what you want about Top Gun and Tom Cruise, blah, blah. Top Gun was like no other movie before or really since in its accurate and realistic portrayal of aerial combat. In fact one of my uncles’ Navy buddies was one of the head stunt pilots for that film and his one of the mission commanders fixing the Hubble Telescope in space.
THR has reported that Tmu Pictures is developing a Michael B. Chait directed action-adventure film called War Birds, the story of an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot who is then pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat.
What’s even cooler is that in this world of CGI reliance this movie plans to use real airplanes and aerial sequences, including authentic P-51 Mustangs, P-38 Lightnings, F4U Corsairs and a B-17 Flying Fortress as well as modern military helicopters and jets.

Test Footage from War Birds

The official website has released test footage from Michael B. Chait’s first feature attempt in the form of the movie War Birds. From the footage (which I’ve embedded below) it looks like we can expect to see a Top Gun style movie based in an around the Us Airforce in the Second World War with Michael Bay style explosions recently seen on the Victoria Secrets ad!
The website gives us literally no other information on the movie but fortunately, or friend Alex over at FirstShowing.net knows a lot more than we do about the movie:
FirstShowing.net: The story follows an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot who gets pulled into the world of illegal aerial combat. Shooting is scheduled for next summer in Michigan using real airplanes and aerial sequences. War Birds will be directed by first-time filmmaker Michael Chait. The script was originally written by Josh Staman and Bryan Binder,

'War Birds' Test Footage Visually Impressive
7 December 2009 9:55 PM, PST
| CinemaSpy

»
On Monday we told you about a new action-adventure film entitled War Birds, from first time director Michael Chait. J. Todd Harris, who served as a producer on Bottle Shock, along with Tron Legacy screenwriter Richard Jefferies, are reportedly polishing the script, and, along with Chait, will also produce the film for Michigan-based Tmu Pictures.
Since then, three minutes of test footage for the film have been released on the official site. It's pretty rough footage, without any sort of story, but it's also real airplanes sans CG (so far). Even Michael Bay ought to be impressed with that. To check out the footage, click on the Video tab above.
War Birds follows an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot as he gets pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat. Feels like period-reenactment counter-culture Top Gun to us. If we're honest, we're not really quite sure what this story is all about,
