Insert Caption: 'Children of Men'
Filed under: Movie Photos, Insert Caption, Hold the 'Fone
'Code Name: The Cleaner' may not have exactly cleaned up at the box office, or gotten halfway-decent reviews, or challenged the scientific fact that the crappiest of the crappity crap movies release in January, or ... Sorry, I could go on all day. (Really, I could. Look for my upcoming blog: KevinRamblesOnAboutHowCrappyCodeNametheCleanerIs.com/AndWhataCornyTitle). But seems we've found a silver lining: the movie makes a great forum for your caption prowess. Check out the winner below (while we don't condone messing with a man's weight, Amanda's jab at The Entertainer was too funny), then give us your best shot for the buzzworthy sci-fi tale 'Children of Men.' The film's set in an apocalyptic future (20 years from now) where the human race can no longer procreate. (Not even Britney, so it's not all bad.) Clive Owen is tasked with guarding the only pregnant woman on Earth. Tough gig? Maybe. But has he ever tried winning Insert Caption? " Just give me back my sandwich and no one gets hurt!"

Insert Caption: 'Code Name: The Cleaner'
Filed under: Movie Photos, Insert Caption, Hold the 'Fone
Wowzers. I knew 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was insanely popular -- the movie did make a whopping $423 million at the box office and some of you are still pretty heated at us for ranking 'Dead Man's Chest' #41 on our list our top 50 favorite movies of 2006 -- but didn't expect nearly 2,000 of you to chime in with a caption for a photo we posted from the upcoming third installment, 'At World's End.' (Some visitors were directed here by a rumor that the winning caption-writer would receive a first look at the film's teaser trailer. Yeah, not sure how whoever got that idea got that idea. Sorry.)
There were some overriding themes to the constituency's captions: rum, eunuchism, krakens, monkeys, hiding the rum, nudity, foul odors, the rum being gone, 'Bulletproof Monk,' and rum. And though we typically only appoint a single winner, with so many entries, it's only right we recognize three of you. So congrats to the winners: your captions were topical, comical and alcohol-free. See them below and then take a stab at this week's contest, with a pic of Cedric the Entertainer and Lucy Liu in 'Code Name: The Cleaner.' Who knows, the comedy might just be this year's 'Dead Man's Chest.' You know what they say about Cedric: The man's an entertainer. 3. "Who hired Mel Gibson to direct?!?" -- Dave 2. "Oh no ... here comes Tom Cruise ... he must still want to be a samurai!" -- Darek Kowal 1. "And then they saw Britney get out of the car..."

Insert Caption: 'Shrek the Third'
Filed under: Movie Photos, Insert Caption, Hold the 'Fone
There's a buzz about the air in the faraway lands of, um, Far, Far Away. Teenage girls, those of ogre descent and otherwise, are in a frenzy. After his ill-fated acting debut in the straight-to-DVD disaster 'Edison Force' and a more promising turn in next month's 'Alpha Dog,' Justin Timberlake becomes the most prominent new cast member of May's 'Shrek the Third.' The first two installments of the wildly popular franchise grossed something like $700 million billion combined (give or take or a few zeroes) and there's no reason to think 'The Third' will do any less.
Check out the photo below of Animated JT, who plays King Arthur (Artie to his homeys), cousin to Fiona (real-life girlfriend Cameron Diaz) -- Timberlake's the hippy-looking humanoid, pictured with Shrek (Mike Myers), Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). Then give us your best, funniest, most awesomist caption. Also make sure to check out the exclusive trailer premiere of 'Shrek the Third' live now (click here for trailer).
Good luck, and come back and play every week. We'll soon be awarding prizes to said most awesomist captioner. Even if he or she uses really bad English.

Insert Caption: 'Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj'
Filed under: Celeb Photos, Insert Caption, Hold the 'Fone
I never saw the original 'Van Wilder' (I know, shame on me, "It's the 'Citizen Kane' of Ryan Reynolds movies") but I hear it's the funniest 'National Lampoon' comedy since 1989 (scratch that -- the only funny 'National Lampoon' comedy since 1989). Word is it also features the most memorable cannoli scene in the history of modern cinema.
Having not seen the first, I've avoided its new sequel 'The Rise of Taj' because, let's face it, I'd be totally lost. But it is nice to see 'Harold & Kumar' star Kal Penn get some shine in the lead role as Taj Mahal Badalandabad (no relation to 'Gosford Park' and 'For Your Consideration' star Bob Badalandabad ). Penn also stars in this week's installment of Insert Caption. So check out last week's winner (Congrats to you, nolabob. Are you related to Bob Badalandabad?) and then post your own below.
