I recieved the German import BD of Battle of Kingdoms (Battle of Wits) today. Unfortunatly it's not Region Free (it's Region B coded) and as expected there are German subtitles only. Extras are SD PAL. The disc itself is a BD50 and PQ/AQ seems very good.

Thanks Leynos for those UK listings, they'll certainly help when I put together a UK list.

I received Vidocq and Lonely Hearts (Japanese releases by Sony) yesterday. Both are marked as ABC in the back covers and Vidocq is indeed region free but Lonely Hearts turned out to be region A locked so Sony has mislabeled it. As expected, Vidocq does not have any English audio or subs, just French & Japanese.

I didn't have time to look at the PQ/AQ much yet.

"La Storia Infinita" / "The Neverending Story" (ITA - Eagle Pictures - Costantine Film) (10 September 2008)

http://blu-ray.dvd.it/fantastico/la-...io/id-1551553/

Audio: Italian DTS-HD 5.1 , Italian 5.1 Dolby Digital , English 2.0 Dolby Digital
Subtitles: Italian
Region: B

The PQ is fair (good contrast, colors and details in some scenes) but has some heavy grain in most half lighted scenes and an awfully high number of scratches and signs during the whole movie (some extremely visible hair and white spots near the end).

Thanks for the info! I'm going to get around to doing an Italian list as well.

Planning French, German and UK lists next. I've been taking a couple of days off from list creation activity as it's a long weekend and I've got some family stuff + movie watching to do as well

That's helpful, I didn't find the right entry from IMDB for it when I just searched with "Freedom" earlier. I'll add it to the right place now
