Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that makes beer pong look like a visit to the dentist's office. Last week we asked you to rock our worlds and come up with your funniest caption for a photo from the new movie
Hamlet 2. Needless to say, you delivered all that and then some ...

1.
"Since the school won't teach you the theory of evolution, I have decided to teach it through the wonders of interpretive dance." -- Ryan S.
2.
"...come on you guys I am very clearly a mailbox, I have never seen a group of people so horrible at charades." -- Dana C.
3.
"When hunting rabbits you have to be vewwwy vewwwy quiet!" -- Chris R.

Cinematical is heading back to school in style!) In honor of the new movie
College -- about three almost-freshmen who take a weekend trip to visit a prospective college and wind up in wayyy over their heads -- one grand prize winner will stumble away with a sweet beer pong table. And if you don't know what beer pong is, then, well, how in the world do you not know what beer pong is? Dude! Sound off!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where we definitely rock it with sexy Jesus all night long. Last week we asked you to strap in Statham-style and race to be the first one to knock us over with a caption for an image from the flick
Death Race. Congrats to all three of our winners -- your thirst for speed, prison humor and bald men is quite inspiring to us all.

1. "You sank my battleship!!" --
Jason F.2. "Unfortunately, the Death Staring Contest proved unpopular." --
Dan N.3. "In the prisons of the future, its all about survival of the baldest." --
Ben K.See full image and all captionsThis week we're trading in our set of death wheels for a little fun with the theater kids as they rock it out in the new comedy
Hamlet 2. In the flick (which has been getting great buzz for a long time now), the hilarious
Steve Coogan stars as a failed actor-turned-drama teacher who rallies his students around an absurd, politically incorrect staging of, well,
Hamlet 2. The aspirings behind our three favorite captions will prance away with one
Hamlet 2 t-shirt, one
Hamlet 2 wristband, one sexy Jesus action figure, and one
Hamlet 2 car air freshener. I personally have the action figure dancing on my desk as we speak and -- um, yeah -- this Jesus is pretty sexy. (Do I go to hell for saying that?) Sound off below!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you all race to the death to provide us with the best possible captions for photos from upcoming films. Last week we asked you to steal some of our thunder and shoot us your bestest captions for an image from
Tropic Thunder. Luckily, we managed to choose three winners without staging a protest, and so congrats to you ... and you ... and you.

1. "They knew something had gone very wrong on the set of
Alien 5 when, unexpectedly, Robert Downey Jr. popped out of the soldier's chest." --
Kurt P.2. OK, this might not be the right time to bring this up ... but I'm pretty sure you still owe me for that last trip to IHOP." --
Jeremy C.3."You can be my wing man anytime" --
Mike R.See full image and all captionsThis week we're strapped in and ready to roll out with the ultra serious
Jason Statham (for real, has anyone ever seen this guy smile?), who stars in the new flick
Death Race (in theaters August 22). In the film, Statham stars as an ex-con who's forced by the warden of a prison to compete in a car race where severe road rage and the annihilation of your competitors is recommended. The drivers behind our three favorite captions this week will cruise away with one
Death Race poster, one
Death Race t-shirt, one
Death Race tank top, and one
Death Race hat. I'd tell you to use all that to create your own
Death Race in the comforts of your home ... but something tells me that might not be the greatest idea. Sound off below!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that brings the tropic thunder and then some! Last week we asked you to strap on a pair of those magical traveling pants and participate in a little caption-ing for a photo from the new flick
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Note to someone: Never include a small group of pretty girls amongst a few large, orange bouncing balls. Why? Well, to our winners ...

1. "Your balls don't scare me." --
Paul P. 2. Suzie, this is an intervention. We understand that you have a problem with oversized polyps, but you can't just leave them all over the living room like this." --
Kurt P.3. "This is what happens to the sisterhood once the pants stop fitting." --
Rifah O.See full image and all captionsThis week, it's raining madness and we're traveling into the heart of the jungle with the boys from
Tropic Thunder -- a film that's absolutely hysterically insane. Ben Stiller directs and stars alongside folks like Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr. (as a black man), Jay Baruchel and Brandon T. Jackson -- all of whom play a group of actors shooting the most expensive war picture of all time. But when the real war comes a little too close for comfort, our pretend soldiers will need to get "in the sh*t" ... for realz. The folks behind our three favorite captions will helicopter away with one very awesome signed
Tropic Thunder movie poster. Sound off below!

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'". --

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

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 2 t-shirt, one

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.

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

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

really hate snakes. Hate 'em! Last week we asked you to write funny captions for a photo from

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 ...

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 ...
