I just saw it done twice in Inside Man. When the cameraman zooms out on a subject while moving closer so the subject's scale stays the same while the background seems to get smaller (or vise versa). Is there a name for this?

Thanks, that helped. I guess they're called vertigo shots or contrazooms?

^^I was going to say Dolly Zoom. LOL beat me to it. :)

They are pretty hard to get right. You have to match well the zoom speed to the dolly speed.
