2/5	" It's official: the Ridley Scott who created such signature visions as Blade Runner and Alien is dead and has been replaced by a pod person that churns out slick-looking, but wholly generic big-budget time-wasters." -- Giant Magazine Posted Oct 12, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	50%

	" If [the film] inspires even one moviegoer to learn more about how an organization like the WTO affects his or her life, then Townsend has performed a valuable public service." -- Film Journal International Posted Sep 8, 2008	Battle in Seattle (2008)	55%
