Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that's great to play while you're traveling ... with pants ... for a second time! Last time we met in this glorious space, we asked you to bring along some funny to compliment an image from the film
Step Brothers -- and you gave us spider monkey attacks, Mountain Dew jokes and screaming peas. Right on!

1. "I told you not to tease those spider monkeys, they'll come at you ... well, like spider monkeys." --
Matt H.2. "That's what happens when you actually try to do the "Dew." --
Kathi F.3. "You're right, I can hear the little peas screaming as they're thawing out. That's just weird." --
P.J.See full image and all captionsThis week, we're back again with our four favorite friends and the extremely special pair of jeans that works its way from one girl to the next over the course of one busy summer. You know what they say: Some friends just fit together. (And how come my jeans never seem to fit?) Yup, it's
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (in theaters August 6), and the authors behind our three favorite captions will travel away with one
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 tank top, one BeDazzler stud-setting tool with assorted studs and crystals, one
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 soundtrack, one (1)
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 mini tote, one

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- that popular online game the whole dysfunctional family can enjoy! Last week, of course, we traveled to Gotham City and asked you fine, dark captioners to give us your best stuff for a photo from this summer's biggest film,
The Dark Knight. Needless to say, you certainly lived up to your end of the bargain -- we received a ginormous amount of entries, and it definitely took some time to pick our three winners. Congrats to you; Gotham is safe once again ... for now.

1. "Hmm ... no, the Joker hasn't accepted my friend request on Facebook either."
Jeremy C.2. Really, Lucious? You can build a car that can practically fly, but you have to call me to get your iTunes off shuffle?
Justin B.3. "Maybe placing an ad on Craigslist for a 'Boy Wonder' wasn't such a good idea." --

This week we're psyching ourselves up for what looks to be another hysterical comedy from the team behind
Talladega Nights and
Anchorman. Directed by Adam McKay,
Step Brothers (which hits theaters on July 25) stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as two competitive stepbrothers who must find a way to get along when their single parents get hitched. The three winners from this week will each receive one totally rad
Step Brothers poster. Throw it up on the wall; make your stepbrothers and sisters jealous! "I won this! Not you!" Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that makes us all Bat-crazy every Friday afternoon right here on
Cinematical! Last week we asked you to get your red on with a little Hellboy in honor of the big dude's return to the big screen this weekend in
Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Congrats to our three winners ... and perhaps Guillermo del Toro will use your ideas in the next installment. (Fresca's makin' a comeback!)

1. "Yep, there it is: 'May cause redness and swelling of appendages.'" --
Jordan B.2. "Even Hellboy later admitted that night might be a new record for worst case of 'Beer Goggles'". --
Chaz K.3. "I have to admit, Fresca doesn't really suit my personality." --
Dan N.See full image and all captionsWhy so serious? It's Friday, and I think it's quite obvious that this was the week you crazy captioners have been waiting for! Yup, the Bat is officially back ... and to celebrate we've got one heckuva prize package for the top three captions based on the photo below from
The Dark Knight (in theaters July 18). Give us your Gotham best, and you could walk away with one
Dark Knight moleskin journal with Joker card, one
Dark Knight black metal pen, one
Dark Knight ladies' tank, one
Dark Knight bracelet, one
Dark Knight military hat and one
Dark Knight mens' tee. Good luck! And don't forget to check back next week to see who won ... same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.

Welcome back to another funtastic, Americana edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you don't need fireworks to blow our minds. Last week we asked you to step up to the mic with some dope captions for a photo from
The Wackness. Congrats to Kurt P., who can now escape the summer heat and chill out with a new portable DVD player. We're jealous. We might stalk you Kurt. Be ready.

1. "Young couple seeks father figure, must have Hawaiian shirt, facial hair, and soft focus." --

This week we're celebrating our independence with a big, bad red dude named Hellboy. That's right! Guillermo del Toro, Hellboy and all his freak-ish friends are back to get their fight on in
Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and the winners behind our three favorite captions based on the photo below will slip away with one
Hellboy 2 t-shirt, one
Hellboy 2 hat, one
Hellboy 2 belt with buckle and one official
Hellboy 2 poster. It's hot as hell outside, and come July 11 (when

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you don't have to be a guru in order to win fabulous movie-related prizes. Last week, we asked you to point, laugh and get your caption on with a photo of two heads (belonging to Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway) from the film
Get Smart. And that you did! Congrats go out to
David R. for turning us on
and off in the same sentence.

1. "That better be your shoe-phone, Max." --
David R.2. "Um, I think we are just about in over our heads." --

This week, we're searching for a little love (and advice) from Guru Pitka (
Mike Myers) in
The Love Guru. Our old friend returns to live-action comedy with this flick about a self-help guru who travels from India to the states to help a star hockey player whose wife left him for a rival athlete. Sound familiar? Have you found yourself in a similar romantic squabble as of late? And are you seeking advice from all the wrong people (like that guy with the wooden leg who keeps asking to square off against you in a game of naked Twister)? Well, look no further my fellow caption-ers, because the three winners from this week will prance away with one
The Love Guru Guru Pitka magic 8- ball action figure (pictured right, click to enlarge). This way, next time trouble comes knocking at your heart, you'll have your own personal guru to help steer you in the right direction. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the online game that karate chops all its competition in half. Last week, we asked you to give us captions for a photo from the new creepy flick
The Strangers. Serious props go out to
Kristi S. for cracking us up with one of my personal favorite winning captions of 2008 so far. (And so what if I wound up Netflix-ing
Armageddon the other night because of Kristi? Is that so wrong?)

1. "Hurry up!!!
Armageddon is on TBS tonight and I don't wanna miss a thing!!!" --
Kristi S.2. "Liv: Take The Deal!
Scott: No Deal! No. Deal." --
Sam S.3. "Mr. Tyler, put down the ax and allow me to explain. SHE was the one hitting on ME." --
Dodd A.See full image and all captionsI don't know if you're aware, but this week everybody (including we here at
Cinematical) was kung fu fighting. Oh yes, those cats were fast as lightening. In fact, it was a little bit frightening. And ... I'll stop now.
Kung Fu Panda has finally arrived in theaters, and we're celebrating by handing one grand prize winner one cast-signed
Kung Fu Panda movie poster, one
Kung Fu Panda "I Can Find It" book, one stuffed "Po" plush, one pack of
Kung Fu Panda Hubba Bubba gum, one
Kung Fu Panda McDonalds Happy Meal toy, one
Kung Fu Panda "Tigress" pez dispenser and one HP/Kung Fu Panda activity CD. Phew. Get all that? Additionally, two runners-up will get the cast-signed movie poster. Sound off below kung fu caption-ers!

Welcome back to another fantastic edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you're totally allowed (and encouraged) to talk to strangers. Last week, we were hangin' with our girls from
Sex and the City, and asking you to send in your best captions for a photo of Carrie typing away with some ...
thing wrapped around her shoulders. Needless to say, creativity was a flowin'.

1. "Her transformation from socialite to yeti nearly complete, Carrie writes her final, twisted column." --
Jay J.2. "Note to self: New line of sweaters from Jimmy Choo - not so fabulous." --
Chia S.3. "I knew I would do anything for fashion, but drugging and shaving a Wampa might be over the line. I should have shaved an Ewok instead ... they're softer." --

This week, we're throwing on our random, creepy masks and showing up to your house unannounced with a photo from the new freaky flick
The Strangers. Scott Speedman and Liv Tyler play a couple who are harassed (in more ways than one) by three complete strangers who pop up at their front door in the middle of the night. And if you don't leave a funny caption for this one ... well, let's not wait to see what happens. (I'm so not intimidating.) The winners of our three favorite captions will sneak away with one cast-signed
The Strangers movie poster. You know what comes next ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game Carrie Bradshaw plays whenever she's all dressed up with nowhere to go (see photo below). Last week, we asked you folks to bring us back some funny captions from your trip to Narnia for
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and that you did! Congrats to Anthony G. for his inspired caption below ...

1. "According to Mapquest this is where the renaissance fair should be." --
Anthony G.2. "The interns on Dr. Moreau's island weren't quite sure what they got themselves into after putting on their new uniforms" --
Josh B.3. "Introducing the cast of
High School Musical: Braveheart Edition." --
Kirby H.See full image and all captionsThis week, we all have sex on the mind -- and I wonder why? Could it be because the gals from
Sex and the City are about to make their big-screen debut? I think mayyybe ... Since Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda are four
very special ladies in our lives, we decided to give away some very special gifts to those who provide us with the best captions for the photo below. That being said, one grand prize winner will receive one
Sex and the City Collector's Edition DVD set with all six seasons of the hit show, two different
Sex and the City movie posters and one
Sex and the City soundtrack. Meanwhile, two runners up will receive the two different posters and the
Sex and the City soundtrack (info on the soundtrack after the jump). Not bad, huh? The perfect foreplay before
Sex and the City arrives in theaters on May 30. Sound off below ...

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)" --

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 ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game even Tony Stark would love if he wasn't a fictional character and completely made up. We're reversing the order of things for this installment; last week's winners are listed down below and after the jump, while this week's caption is, well, look down. Yup ...
Speed Racer time! And this week we're giving away sooo much, it's impossible to list it all without running out of gas, er, space. One grand prize winner will race away with one Limited edition
Speed Racer tool box loaded with a Soul Industry Tee, Hot Wheels 1:64 Mach 6, 1:64 Racer X, 1:24 Mach 5 and a Pullbax™ Mach 5; plus Speed and Racer X Lego Mini-figures, one

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.

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.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall hits theaters on April 18. Sound off below ...

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.

This week we're sticking with boys who like to get dirty and sweaty. Not boys, men! Men who like to play with balls. (I think I'll stop here.) 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! (And maybe, just maybe, we'll take the whole team out for ice cream after the game.) Sound off below ...

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.

And we're back with another fun-filled installment of Insert Caption! Last week, we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of one of our all-time favorite on-screen couples, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, in You've Got Mail. Things we learned from your captions: Give one character a knife and your imaginations run wild. Give Meg Ryan a knife, and, well ... we won't go there. After we sorted through all the captions (most of which placed Ryan in the shoes of a serial killer), here are the best of the best:

1. You can't be serious! Miss Scarlet, in the solarium with this knife?! -- Erin N.
2. "Meg..relax. I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about my sitcom 'Bosom Buddies'." -- Chaz K.
3. "The self-help section is in Aisle 3, but you're going to have to check your knife." -- Cathy C.

Continuing with the memorable on-screen couples theme, this week we're presenting a photo from the upcoming adventure rom-com, Fool's Gold. You fell for them in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and now Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are back to woo each other ... and remind me that I desperately need an island vacation, like, STAT. The three winning captions from this week will take home one Fool's Gold treasure chest metal coin bank, one Fool's Gold tie-die T-shirt, one bucket hat with embroidered Fool's Gold title treatment and one metal boat desk clock. Dare I say it, but you'd be a damn fool not to enter. Sound off below!

Welcome to the first official Insert Caption of 2008! Last week we asked for your best caption from the film Charlie Wilson's War, and received more than a few submissions with creepy sexual undertones. What gives? Does Tom Hanks really look a guy who has sex constantly on the mind? How about we don't answer that. Here were the three winners, all of which were awarded with a sweet Charlie Wilson's War prize package (Charlie Wilson himself not included).
1. "Houston, we've found a bra strap." -- Andrew W.
2 "Scene from the scrapped James Bond project "From Oscar with Love" -- Kurt P.
3. "Remember the good 'ole days when you were a prostitute chasing the fairy tale, and I was a simpleton who didn't know much, but knew what love was..." -- Jason A.

And now, in honor of this week's only wide release, we're giving you a chance to give us your best captions for the photo below from the new J-horror remake One Missed Call. If you thought those voicemail messages from your ex were borderline maniacal, well what if you received a voicemail from your future self ... with the date, time and details of your future death? Um, how do you say "I'd like to officially cancel my service ASAP" in Japanese? The three winners of our favorite captions will walk away with a One Missed Call t-shirt and poster ... for those times when you need to be reminded of that one call you desperately wanted to miss.
