Shipping was extra - a lot extra.

Halliburton were told that Iraq needed heating and cooking fuel and to get it there quickly. So the company, based in Houston, did so at a cost to the Pentagon of $27.5 million.

A subsidiary of Halliburton bought the gas, liquefied petroleum, for $82,100 from Kuwait. Wendy Hall, a spokesperson for Halliburton, says the charges for transporting the fuel were taken out of context since the transportation was so dangerous.

What to expect in Star Wars: Episode III

March 18, 2005 - The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones were unusual films – they both did phenomenal business at theatres around the world, and yet the quality of George Lucas's new trilogy is constantly called into question on countless Star Wars- and movie-related websites. Perhaps there was no way that Lucas could fulfill everyone's sky-high expectations with the new films, and there is arguably much that could have been improved, as far as acting and writing go. Regardless of whether they will ever be considered masterpieces, both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones gave long-time Star Wars fans the thrilling feeling that we were watching Star Wars for the first time again, and that feeling alone might have been worth the price of admission.

There's certainly no disputing that a heck of a lot of people still care – really care – about Star Wars. As the resident Star Wars geek among my friends, I'm often asked what the third movie will be about. I'm sure many FilmForce readers are in a similar boat. This piece is a bit of a guide to what Revenge of the Sith will bring, and it might just be the prequel movie everyone's been waiting for. A spoiler-light summary is below, followed by a more in-depth look.

We recently got our mitts on Battlefield 2, the upcoming follow-up to the extremely popular slam-bang shooter series from EA and Digital Illusions. The game is coming along extremely well. Like its predecessors, it's a military first-person shooter that focuses on team play, with almost enough realism to be called a serious simulation and more than enough action to match any arcade game. We had a chance to try out even more run-and-gun action and take an up-close look at the commander view, which is a part of Battlefield 2's stronger focus on team tactics. Here's what we found out.
