Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game Frost and Nixon both played religiously once they were done talking about that whole Watergate thing. Last week we asked you to dish out a caption or several in honor of a little film the kids like to call "OMG ... I luv you Robert Pattinson!" The rest of us, however, use the title
Twilight. We had tons of submissions, and at the end of the day we went with the one that didn't "suck". Heh. Get it? I'm lame. Congrats Jennifer!
1. "So, I thought you said you would try to lay off the garlic bread for a while..." --
Jennifer B.

Frost/Nixon, directed by Ron Howard and starring Frank Langella (Nixon) and Michael Sheen (Frost). The three folks behind our favorite captions this week will slip away with one
Frost/Nixon poster, one
Frost/Nixon t-shirt, and one
Frost/Nixon hat. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game vampires and their totally awesome human girlfriends love to play together on date night! Last week we asked you to give us your best captions for a wacky photo from the flick
Sukiyaki Western Django, which is currently out on DVD. With only one person to award the grand prize, our crack team of caption judges spent hours (screw that, days!) searching for the right mix of humor, heart and heroics. Here, then, is our winner -- congratulations to you, sir!
1. "Despite producing some of the most innovative music of the 1980's, Japanese Country-Style Gangsta Hip-Hop was short-lived." --
Kurt P.See full image and all captionsThis week, well, we're celebrating a film that needs no introduction. It opens in theaters today, it was adapted from a very popular book, it stars one of the hottest guys in the history of the galaxy (Pattinson? Try Hottinson!) ... and it has something to do with vampires. Yup, it's time to sharpen those teeth and take a real nice bite out of the photo below from the film
Twilight. Here's where it gets tasty: One very lucky grand prize winner will hop, skip, walk and dance away with one Autographed
Twilight poster, one Movie tie-in paperback, one Movie Companion book and one
Twilight Soundtrack. All I know is one lucky fan is about to win the
Twilight lottery. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption - the game that I totally missed writing about last week, but am thankful our good pal Kevin filled in. Last week we asked you to channel your inner animated animal and produce a quirky-enough caption for a photo from the new hit flick
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Congrats to our three winners; our poor lion friend will never be the same.
1. "Fifty bucks says he picks his nose."
"Double or nothing he eats it." --
Mike R.2. I've got a joke for you: What has furry opposable thumbs and is about to re-enact his favorite scene from the movie
Alive? This guy. --
Nathan T. 3. The others were getting tired of his bad Dr. Evil impersonation. --

Sukiyaki Western Django, directed by Takashi Mike. The film tells of a revolver-wielding stranger who crosses paths with two warring clans who are on the hunt for treasure in a remote Western town. The DVD is now available in stores, and one grand prize winner will walk away with one
Sukiyaki Western Django wooden coffin containing a set of three collector's steel books, one Samurai robe, one canvas scroll with poster art, one six shooter hydro-gun and one limited edition deck of playing cards. Um, I want. Sound off below cowboys (and girls) ...

Welcome to Insert Caption, the game where Cinematical editor Erik Davis usually writes something reasonably funny in the opening graph, but since Erik is on a set visit across the pond, we're instead left with a massive void. Congrats to last week's
Role Models winner-elects below, the world already feels like a better place because of you. (Btw, if you like your comedy awesome, check out
Role Models this weekend.)

This week we move on to the
country continent of Africa with the animated sequel
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. As much as we'd like to send you there for your own romp with precocious and adorable talking animals, instead we're offering the three writers of our favorite captions a prize pack that includes the soundtrack (
do you like to move it, move it?), three stuffed animals (Alex, Marty and Gloria), a flash drive and a poster signed by the cast. Good deal, say we. Sound off now...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the online game that goes out of its way
not to be a role model for your kids. Last week we asked you to look into the magic mirror and give us your best haunted, angsty Catholic school girl for a photo from the new flick
The Haunting of Molly Hartley. And while I appreciate the dude who gave a shout out to yours truly in his caption, as well as the person who shared that hilariously random
South Park reference (you know who you are), it was the following three captions that somehow scraped their way to the top.
1. "Okay, now to just carve the "B" ..." --
Paul K.2. "Okay, Dank bathroom: Check. Hint of blood: Check. Schoolgirl outfit: Check. Now, if I can just look depressed enough, maybe Linkin Park will appear and start playing." --
Mark H.3. "Just keep it together Haley and repeat after me: Alyson Hannigan is knocked up. This. Is. Your. Chance." --

Role Models (in theaters November 7), starring Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd as a couple of screw-ups who get arrested and subsequently sentenced to 150 hours with a mentorship program. Hilarity ensues. The three folks behind our favorite captions will each snag one
Role Models hat, one
Role Models t-shirt and one

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game some people claim rises from the dead, but then heads back down because it's way too lazy to haunt people. Last week, we asked you to spit out some captions for a photo of that hotsy-totsy sheba Angelina Jolie from her new moving picture,
Changeling. What a gal! Once we navigated our way through a maze of adoption jokes, we came across these three winners. Congrats to you!
1. "I'm sorry, when you said 'Say hello to my little friend,' I thought we were talking about something else entirely."
Matt H.2. "Hmm, I don't know. Do yo have anything in an albino?" --
Stephen M.3. "Beverly is shocked when Alan unveils his conjoined twin, Bradford." --

The Haunting of Molly Hartley (in theaters on October 31). [In Mark Wahlberg's voice] What's up Molly? I don't want to haunt you, I just wanna talk to you, okay? Say hi to your mother for me. Moving on from my lame jokes, we've got some cool stuff for the winners of this caption contest. First off, one grand prize winner will take away
one $250 iTunes gift card, and two runners up will each receive
one 1 GB iPod shuffle. Now
that's what my little sister (not named Molly) would call, "Wicked dope, yo!" Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that promises to abduct your grouchy mood and never bring it back. (Oy, my jokes are getting lamer by the minute.) Last week we asked you to dig deep down into your most sarcastic of places for a photo from the new Oliver Stone film,
W. And might I add that we received some of the funniest captions yet, which, according to some, probably makes you eligible to become president of the United States. Or not. Congrats to our three winning delegates ...
1. "Karl Rove runs his spell checker just in time before George launched his War on Terrier." --
Mike H2. "I'm picking you to be my ambassador to Scotland, cuz you're a scotty dog." --

right son), as we take a look at a photo from Clint Eastwood's new film,

Angelina Jolie. The three folks behind our favorite captions this week will scurry away with one very cool
Changeling poster. Now say it like you mean it in the comments section below ...

Welcome back to another installment of Insert Caption -- the game President Bush would love to play ... if only he knew how to find the internet. Zing! Last week we asked you to "go long" for a photo from the new movie
The Express, and score you did. Congrats to the three sports who managed to cross into our funny zone. (Get it -- instead of end zone, I said funny zone? Heh ... wait, why aren't you laughing?)

W. stars
Josh Brolin (as W.) and a whole slew of all stars as some of our most favorite political heroes. The candidates behind our three favorite captions will spin away with one

Welcome back to another installment in our groundbreaking, game-changing (to borrow a phrase from the news anchors of the world) Insert Caption series -- where you provide the content and we provide the prizes. Last week we asked you to dish out some captions for a photo from
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, which opens in theaters today. Congrats to our three winners -- none of whom include you, dude.
1. "But the ad said the auditions were for
Hair" --
Debra F.2. "All Simon's attempts to compliment Jeff's "very masculine" hair piece ended in futility after mistakenly introducing himself to whom he thought was "Mrs. Bridges." --

Welcome back to another installment of Insert Caption -- our imaginary award-winning weekly contest in which you won't lose friends and alienate people, but you
will walk away with some cool prizes (assuming you make us laugh, like, a lot). Last week we snuggled up next to Richard Gere, Diane Lane and a big box of tissues in preparation for their new flick
Nights in Rodanthe, based on the Nicholas Sparks novel. Congrats to our three winners who all somehow managed to write their captions without shedding even one tear.
1. We've secretly replaced this couple's '94 Zinfandel with new Folger's Crystals. Let's see if they notice. --
Kurt P.2. "Don't look now but there is a couple who looks exactly like us in the next room." --
Frank T.3. "I'm going to be honest. You looked better on MySpace." --

Simon Pegg stars as a British writer who bumbles and fumbles his way through a new gig at a high-profile magazine in New York City. Megan Fox, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst round out the cast. The folks behind our three favorite captions this week will take away one very cool
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People poster signed by the man himself, Simon Pegg. Go for it ...

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- where your comments are righteous and the prizes are, indeed, killer. Last week we asked you to have a laugh with George Clooney and Frances McDormand, and then leave a caption for a photo from their new movie
Burn After Reading. Warning: The only thing the following winning captions are burning is a giant hole in your funny bone. (Okay, that was lame ...)
1. "Frannie's reaction to George's "stretch move" was one for which he was totally unprepared."
Charles P.2. "While the general consensus was that Syriana was a somber geopolitical thriller about the unintended consequences of the U.S.'s dependence on foreign oil, those who actually "got" it found the movie to be quite funny..."
Matt S.3. "Although Frances was enjoying the movie, George's good time was tempered by the realization that he shouldn't have put butter on the popcorn and still utilized the old "cut a hole in the bottom of the bucket" trick." --
