Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game
everyone in Narnia was talking about a thousand years from now! Last week we asked you to dust off that pimpin' fedora and come up with a caption for a photo from
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- which, for those who've been counting down the seconds (looks away in shame!), hits theaters in less than one week! Congrats to
Anthony T. (who won the first three Indiana Jones films on DVD) for a caption that was, well, a real hidden
treasure.

1. "We've finally made it to the tomb of the ... Goddammit Nicolas Cage!!!! What are you doing here?!!" --
Anthony T.2. "Unbeknownst to the two adventurers, the shadowy figure behind them had just enough silly string left to seal their doom..."
Sean A.3. "Geez, Dr. Jones. I know I told you I'd help you clean out your attic, but I'm going to need more than $10 an hour..." --
Pete M.See full image and all captionsThis week we're all returning to the land of Narnia in honor of the highly-anticipated sequel to
The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe:
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. We're not asking you to take out the villains and save a prince, mind you, but we would like a funny caption for the photo below. In return, you see, three lucky winners will be awarded one
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian cast-signed poster, one
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian soundtrack and one
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian illustrated "making of" book. You know the drill ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where, in order to play, you need to
really hate snakes. Hate 'em! Last week we asked you to write funny captions for a photo from
Speed Racer, which hits theaters with a whole lotta color this weekend. Congrats to
Anthony M. for painting a very bizarre, yet hilarious picture in our heads. (We still love ya BK!)

1. "Reasons To Burn Rubber (#5): Family-operated Burger King drive through. Fast. Hot. Creepy." --
Anthony M.2. "Mario's Illegitimate Family..... (shhh, princess peach doesn't know)" --
Joshua B.3. "Just keep your hands at 10 and 2, buckle your seatbelt, and are you sure you don't want to put some clothes on?" --
Nathan T.

This week, well, you may know this guy from somewhere. Can't place the face? Here, we'll help -- it starts with an 'Indiana' and ends with a 'Jones'. Put it together and you have one of this summer's most anticipated films -- not to mention we've been looking forward to this sequel for the past 20 years. But before
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters on May 22, you're going to want to get reacquainted with an old friend -- and that's where we come in: The winners of our three favorite captions will take home one Indiana Jones The Adventure Collection DVD boxed set, which includes:
Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom &
The Last Crusade. That's it to the right; ain't it purty? (Click to enlarge.) In honor of our friend Indy, it's now time for you to start whippin' out those captions! Sound off below ...

Read the official rules for this contestLast week, we asked you to give us your most creative captions for a photo from the new movie
Iron Man (which, in case you didn't know, is quickly becoming one of the best reviewed superhero movies of all time). In exchange for your words of wisdom, we decided to toss a brand new LG "the V" cell phone -- plus a super cool
Iron Man poster -- to 10 of you. 10! Why? Because we're completely out of our minds -- that's why! (And because we love our readers more than anything. Awww.) Congrats to our ten winners, listed below and after the jump.

1. "As you can see, Flavor Flav and I are now engaged." --
Nathan T.2. "That's right, it's all fun and games until someone trips and falls on a Lite Brite..." --
Eric W.3. "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls wearing this ... only this!" --

So check out this pretty nifty
Redbelt poster. Now what's interesting about the image above is that it's a "fight poster," which means it's not an actual poster FOR the movie, it's a poster promoting the big fight that takes place IN the movie. Talk about something cool to add to your geeked-out movie collection, huh? Not only that, but this poster also comes signed by David Mamet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ricky Jay, David Paymer, Emily Mortimer, Renato Magno, John Machado, and Joe Mantegna. Uh, yeah -- something tells me a lot of you folks might want one of these. Fine! Take them all, you bloody scavengers! Here's how this will play out:
You leave a comment (prior to 5PM EST on Monday, May 5) telling us why you're itching to see
Redbelt. We'll then choose five random commenters, all of whom will be sent the fabulous poster featured above. It's
that easy!
Redbelt arrives in theaters in New York and LA tomorrow and nationwide on May 9. Check out the film's trailer, as well as the official rules for this contest, after the jump.

Just last month,
we heard about a contest where one lucky couple would have the honor of being married at the premiere of
Made of Honor. Well, that lucky couple has been picked, and you can see their smiling faces over to the right. Michelle Golightly and Shaun Bollinger of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania are going to get hitched in a super-fancy Monday wedding in the Big Apple on April 28, right at the premiere of the film.
It might seem like a weird idea, but think about it -- these guys get to have top-of-the-line professionals put together their day, and it won't break their wallets or bring on the usual, insane piles of debt! They get a first-class, all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan, where super talented wedding people style them up, get them dressed, take their pictures, get their rings, make their cake, and do everything else that a wedding requires. And to top all that off -- Mary Hart from
Entertainment Tonight is going to be the officiant -- it's so weird that I actually love the idea.
If you want to see this wildness for yourself, you can check out the webcast on Crackle.com, footage after the fact on ET the next night, or if you find yourself in the neighborhood, there's street space for people who want to check out the wedding and premiere -- it's all going down at the Ziegfeld on 54th.
I'm a big fan of original weddings that go at least slightly against the grain, so this whole scenario sounds like a hoot. But I wonder: what's the strangest, wackiest, or most original wedding you've ever witnessed, or been in? Share your stories below.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow might be addicted to (we don't know them personally, but we definitely have a hunch)! Last week, we asked you to give us your breas ... er, best captions for a photo from the new movie Baby Mama, which hits theaters today. Congrats to all three of our winners; your captions were a real tit hit around the office.
1. "Careful, Kid, you'll suck your eye out" -- Ross J.
2. "Be careful! When you've got milk goggles on, every baby looks cute." -- Nathan T.

Do you hear that? Smell it? Oh yes, it's summer -- and it's finally here (in movie form, that is)! This week on Insert Caption, we're gettin' our feet wet on a little film called Iron Man. You may have heard us talk about it once or twice before -- it's a small, character-driven piece about ... screw it -- it's friggin' IRON MAN! Now check this out: The 10 winning captions (yup, 10!) will fly away with one LG "the V" cell phone (pictured right, click to learn more) and one Iron Man poster. 10 phones. 10 posters. It's gonna be a BIG summer folks, so why not give away some equally-as-big prizes, right? We're exposing our round, shiny hearts to all of you in the hopes you'll reward us with humor in the comments below (we're such a cheap date) ...

Welcome back to another fun-filled edition of Insert Caption -- the game
Totally Wicked Awesome Magazine called, "Delightful, Delicious and a Damn Good Time!" Last week we asked you to give us your bestest captions for a photo from this week's new release,
The Forbidden Kingdom -- starring Jackie Chan, Jet Li and some white kid, who, judging from the picture, is quite obviously stuck in the middle with you ... and I'm wondering what it is I should do. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right ... okay, that's enough. Congrats to our three winners below ...

1. "The MPAA's ongoing battle with illegal movie downloads in China as an interpretive dance routine." --
Todd G.2. "This is my dance space, this is your dance space. Spaghetti arms!" --
Kathi F. 3. "Oh I know this! Wax on! Wax ggghhhhttt!" --

Baby Mama t-shirt, one
Baby Mama baseball hat and one

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where we provide the photo and you provide the funny! Last week, we asked you to throw on your lamest Hawaiian t-shirt and give us your best captions for a photo from
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Congrats to our three winners below for sharing their warmth, their passion, their creativity ... and their ability to conjure up a mental image of Jonah Hill on a spit. Our apologies to you Mr. Hill -- we still love ya man!

1. "I was speaking figuratively when I said I had a lot of baggage." --
Mike R.2. "Crap... I thought I ditched the Verizon guy at the pig roast!" --
Russell K.3. "They just put Jonah Hill on a spit and fired up the tiki torches. I'm outta here!" --

real bad? Ouch. The three lucky winners from this week will run (as fast as they can) away with one
Forbidden Kingdom poster, one pack of
Forbidden Kingdom trading cards, one box of green tea and one container of incense. Hmm, I smell a lot of captions this week ... and for some reason they smell like burnt roses with a splash of lemon vanilla? Sound off below ...

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- the online game all of your friends are ridiculously addicted to! Last week, we asked you to take a real good look at a photo from the new movie
Leatherheads. From there we wanted you to stand in front of a mirror, close your eyes and make a wish. Still don't look like George Clooney? Drats. Sorry. While we try to figure out what's wrong with our Clooney Look-a-Like 3000 machine, let's give our three caption winners from last week a healthy virtual round of applause.

1. "Here, take my hand. I've never lost a game of "Red Rover" and I ain't gonna start now." --
Mike R.2. "I thought you meant the *proverbial* s--- was going to hit the *proverbial* fan." --
Mike Z.3. "Trust me...a pot-bellied pig demands empathy before it will become a housepet." --

And speaking of things that deserve a round of applause, this week we're heading to Hawaii with a photo from the upcoming (hysterical) comedy
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Jason Segel stars as a guy whose hottie girlfriend (Kristen Bell) dumps him hard. When he decides to take a recovery trip to Hawaii, he unfortunately didn't realize he'd be staying at the same hotel as his ex and her new man. Don't you hate it when that happens? The three lucky winners from this week will surf away with one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall poster, one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall t-shirt, one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall tank top and one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall beach towel. With all that to show off to your friends, one thing's for sure: You definitely will
not forget about this movie.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game even your parents can't resist playing! Last week, we asked you to strap on your hottest piece of exercise wear in order to give us the wittiest caption for a photo from the new film Run, Fat Boy, Run. Things didn't get too physical in the comments section, and I think we all agreed that Simon Pegg was definitely NOT bringing sexy back. However, according to our winner Christina D., he might be bringing something just a tad less ... manageable.

1. "So...Bleeker. Juno got you pregnant back?" -- Christina D.
2. "Simon heard Hans' pickup line and smirked at the irony that he actually had tickets to the gun show." -- Eric W.
3. "I knew I recognized you... You were in the Olivia Newton John Video 'Physical' huh?" -- Josh B.

Yes, we're here to talk about Leatherheads -- that upcoming old school football flick starring George Clooney, John Krasinski and Renée Zellweger. The three sports behind our favorite captions will walk away with one Leatherheads poster, one Leatherheads t-shirt, one Leatherheads hat and one Leatherheads calendar. Not to mention you'll score a winning touchdown with our staff. So lace up gang, and give us everything you've got!

Welcome back to another installment of Insert Caption -- recently hailed as the number one most addictive online game by the staff at Cinematical and Moviefone. Last week, we asked you to cuddle up next to James McAvoy and Keira Knightley (which one do you think hogs the bed?) and give us your best captions for a photo from Atonement. There was a DVD and two pretty awesome beach cruisers at stake for one lucky winner. Congrats to Shane M. for blaming the whole thing on a little girl with a big mouth (I guess it's better than blaming it on a little guy with big muscles).

1. "I think we should blame it on Briony. What could she possibly do to get back at us?" -- Shane M.
See full image and all captions
And speaking of little guys and big muscles, this week we're taking a look at a photo from the very funny Run, Fat Boy, Run (which hits theaters on March 28), starring the always-reliable Simon Pegg as a guy who takes on some serious training in order to win back the girl he let get away. And if that doesn't look exactly like me when I'm at the gym -- wow, it's like staring into a wimpy mirror. Maybe I should shut up now. Anyway, winners of our three favorite captions will run, not walk, away with one Run, Fat Boy, Run poster, one sports bottle, one sweat band, one pair of running shorts and one Nike jacket. C'mon, it's officially Spring -- time to climb out of that cave and get into shape! Sound off below fitness freaks.

Welcome all to another unbelievable edition of Insert Caption (as seen on the widely popular Cinematical.com)! Last week, we asked you folks to put on your best Jerry Seinfeld impersonation for an image from the comedian's animated flick
Bee Movie (now out on DVD). While we got a lot of captions with the words 'honey' and 'what's the deal with ..., ' I don't believe we received any that went something like, "What's the deal with honey?" Yeah ... so what's the deal with that? Congrats to
David L. for providing us with a winning caption ... about nothing.

1. "It's not so much that he talks, dear, but that he's actually talking about NOTHING!" -- David L.
2. "Yes, I get it dear, "Bee Mine." But this, this is my freakin' Valentine's Day
gift???" -- Eric S.

For the most part, contests are pretty run of the mill. You can win that thing you've been yearning for and are too broke to buy, or too impatient to wait and see if you ever get it as a gift. It could be tickets, gadgets, and other sundry, but sometimes, it's something special... like your own bodyguard.
Yes, I'm serious. As part of the upcoming release of the upcoming film
Drillbit Taylor, AOL is sponsoring a contest where you can win your own bodyguard for the day. The kicker -- there's no age cap! You have to be at least 13, have Internet access, and be a legal resident of the US to enter. Kiddies out there can become too-cool-for-school with their own bodyguard, or I guess you can turn your own heads at work with a day's worth of bodyguard detail. (Note: If some lucky kid gets their amazing bodyguard win halted by their jerky school, the winner will receive the cash equivalent of the prize.)
To enter, you just have to head over to
http://www.drillbitsarmy.com/ and throw in your info. However, you can gain additional entries by participating in tasks outlined on the website. For each completed task, you'll get one extra entry. These tasks are fairly simple, and include things like watching the trailer or recording a rap. The contest ends March 21, the day
Drillbit Taylor hits theaters.

Welcome back to another fantastical edition of Insert Caption -- where you write something funny and we give you free stuff. This week is packed with announcements, so we're gonna jump right in. First off, remember that Vespa we gave away two weeks ago? You remember -- it was only the greatest prize we've ever put up in the history of the site. Well, we all debated this one hardcore, but there was one caption that just hit everyone in a certain spot, in a certain way, and so congrats to Colt H. for giving us the following winning caption:

1. "When Harry DIDN'T Meet Sally." -- Colt H.

Last week, we asked you to scope out a photo from this weekend's big release, 10,000 B.C., and provide us with the wittiest caption possible. I have to hand it to you folks this time around, because the captions rocked! While, as always, your filthy minds were at play (leave that poor cat alone!), three captions stood out among the rest:

1. A guy with a penchant for older women realizing too late that his new spray deodorant which promised to "attract cougars" meant it literally. -- Ryan T.
2. Unlike his great grandson Siegfried, Hershel wasn't quite so animal savvy. -- Eric W.
3. Yes, I definitely want my nipples pierced, I was just hoping you had a smaller needle. -- Julie D.
See full image and all captions
Finally, this week we're looking for your best captions for the below photo from the very funny animated flick Bee Movie, starring the voice of Jerry Seinfeld as a bee who leaves the hive, learns humans are stealing honey for their own consumption and proceeds to sue the entire human race. The three winning captions will walk away with their very own copy of Bee Movie on DVD -- for those times when you and your honey are in the mood to snuggle up to something sweet. (Aren't I lame?)

It's a good day for me when I get to see George Clooney on-screen in anything (or even better, in less than anything, but he doesn't tend to go there, sadly). Now you have a chance to see Clooney in his latest film,
Leatherheads, for free! The title of the film makes me think of horror films, but
Leatherheads, directed by and starring Clooney, is really a romantic comedy set in the world of 1920s football, when players wore helmets made out of leather rather than the high-tech, head-protecting gear they don today. The film co-stars Renée Zellweger as Clooney's beloved, and John Krasinski as war hero and football star Clooney recruits to help his floundering team.
You can
sign up for your chance to win tickets right over here. And if you do get tickets to a screening, be sure to let us know what you think of the film. I'm particularly curious to see what kind of chemistry Clooney and Zellweger have -- she wouldn't be my first choice to star alongside him, so I'm wondering how they are on-screen.
