Pen a 10-Word Review To Win a Signed Copy of Stephenie Meyer?s The Host

After introducing the world to Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in her 2005 global hit novel Twilight (thus launching a multi-billion-dollar franchise, which draws to an end in November's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2), author Stephenie Meyer wrote the sci-fi best-seller The Host, about human heroine Melanie Stryder, the alien "soul" who comes to inhabit her, and the dual lives and loves they have while sharing the same body. With a Saoirse Ronan-starring adaptation set for 2013, now's the perfect chance to give The Host a read.

Josh Olson Will Read Your F***ing Script, For $5,000

Josh Olson Will Read Your F***ing Script, For $5,000Over at the fantastic retro cinema celebration series that is Trailers From Hell!, Joe Dante is currently running a Kickstarter to back the next batch of webisodes, which feature Dante and his "Grindhouse Gurus" — Eli Roth, Guillermo Del Toro, and John Landis, among others — dissecting their favorite genre fare of olde. And while a top pledge will get you all sorts of one-of-a-kind rewards ranging from lunch with Dante to the arachnid jaw from Starship Troopers, one prize in particular offers an opportunity so rare, someone had better jump on it, fast: A script reading by screenwriter Josh Olson.

For $5,000 or more, an enterprising Kickstarter backer will get their script read and receive feedback from the History of Violence scribe who famously declared in the Village Voice editorial "I Will Not Read Your Fucking Script" that he — well, you know.

"For a better understanding as to why Josh reading your script is so remarkable, we refer you to his legendary rant in The Village Voice 'I Will Not Read Your #@$%^%! Script,' adds the Kickstarter page.

Only one such prize is available for claiming, so hop to it! The Kickstarter campaign has 26 days to go... and presumably if the goal is not met, the Olson offer is off the table.

Below, watch Olson's Trailers from Hell guest spot, in which he goes deep on The Conversation:

TRAILER: On The Brilliant Potential of Taken 2

In 2008's B-movie hit Taken, Liam Neeson cracked skulls across Europe in search of his kidnapped daughter. In October's Taken 2, director Olivier Megaton and producer/co-writer Luc Besson set out to achieve something rare — An actual continuation of story! Multi-film character development! Unexpected moral examinations! — a proper sequel, in other words, as evidenced by the first trailer viewable after the jump.

The concept for Taken 2 was already promising on paper: The daughter Neeson saved in the first movie (Maggie Grace) must now help save her parents from the vengeance-seeking gangster father (Rade ?erbed?ija) of the baddies Neeson murdered in his fatherly rage. The film's new trailer delivers on this front, demonstrating what few sequels or reboots or re-jiggered whatchamacalits these days bother to do properly: Expand on their predecessors in new and interesting ways.

TRAILER: On The Brilliant Potential of Taken 2

Neeson's ex-operative Bryan Mills seems to be the same guy he was in Taken, but the plot turns his righteous actions in the first film on their head; another father out there is mourning, and wants bloody revenge. Who's to say ?erbed?ija's paternal pain doesn't warrant its own reckoning? Is this a mindless action sequel or a meditation on the cycle of vengeance and a parent's drive to protect their children at any moral cost?

Meanwhile, Grace (whom Besson attempted to turn into an action star earlier this year in the Guy Pearce vehicle Lockout) has the opportunity to morph her victimized daughter character into a heroine. Look at the way she leaps over rooftops like a lady Jason Bourne! Turning Kim into an action hero not only makes up for how wimpy and naive she seemed (a perception magnified by my residual resentment of Grace's turn as the useless Shannon on LOST, I'll…
